Senior Engineer/Lead Engineer - Seating Domain

This will help you grow:

  • Lead the design and development of seat systems — including structure, foam, trim, and comfort mechanisms.
  • Conduct concept feasibility studies and provide design proposals aligned with ergonomics and vehicle packaging requirements.
  • Develop and validate 3D models & 2D drawings using CAD tools (CATIA / NX / Creo).
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams (CAE, Testing, Manufacturing, and Purchasing) to ensure design robustness and manufacturability.
  • Define Bill of Materials (BOM) and manage change control during development.
  • Coordinate with suppliers for prototype development, design reviews, and engineering change implementation.
  • Support DFMEA and DVP creation for seat systems.
  • Validate seat system performance (comfort, durability, NVH, safety) in accordance with OEM standards.
  • Participate in vehicle integration and clash checks to ensure fitment within vehicle architecture.
  • Provide technical support during tooling, proto builds, and production launch. 

This is how you will help us move forward:

  • 5 – 10 years in automotive seating system design and development.
  • Hands-on experience in seating projects (front/rear seats, luxury seats, or 3rd-row folding systems).
  • Experience working with global platforms or customer-facing engineering roles.
  • Strong knowledge of automotive seating systems: Structure, Foam, and Trim.
  • Expertise in CAD tools: CATIA V5 / Siemens NX (3D modeling & drafting).
  • Good understanding of materials (steel, foam, fabric, leather) and manufacturing processes (welding, forming, molding, trimming).
  • Knowledge of GD&T, DFMEA, DVP, and vehicle safety standards.
  • Exposure to seat comfort, NVH, and crash performance parameters.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
