R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER I

Job Overview

The R&D/Product Development Engineer will be part of the product development team, responsible for developing individual products or technical elements for low-to-medium complexity projects. The role will specifically support the development of low-voltage infotainment connectors.

Job Requirements

• Support in creating product proposals (low to medium complexity) for customers.

• Create and modify CAD models and drawings; provide design support to senior engineers/supervisors.

• Collaborate with the simulation team and interpret results for product design.

• Create and update product specifications.

• Evaluate manufactured products through first article inspection reports.

• Execute and manage design change requests (engineering change management).

• Coordinate and resolve technical issues in collaboration with cross-functional teams.

• Implement design changes based on DFM (Design for Manufacturability) feedback.

• Assist in conducting DVP (Design Verification Plan) and refining product designs.

• Contribute to PV (Product Validation) planning, testing, and documentation.

• Analyze prototype samples and contribute to design refinement.

What your background should look like

• B.E/B.Tech: Minimum 2+ years of experience in product development or engineering support.

• Proficiency with CAD systems (CREO part modeling & sheet metal).

• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings/product prints.

• Ability to interpret simulation results and apply insights to product design.

• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM – Molding/Stamping/Plating) and DFMEA.

• Strong skills in tolerance stack-up and GD&T.

• Solid conceptual, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

• Experience in product development, validation, and prototyping methods.

• Understanding of linear and non-linear analysis.

• Knowledge of product lifecycle management and ability to deliver high-quality design outputs.

• Basic knowledge of quality tools (8D, 5 Why analysis, Fishbone, etc.).

• Hands-on experience designing with plastics and sheet metal components.

Functional – Preferred

• Ability to train others in product development/engineering tools.

• Knowledge of injection molding and high-speed stamping processes.

• Exposure to low-voltage connectors and RF technologies.

• Familiarity with validation standards (USCAR, LV214, or similar).

• Knowledge of crimping, ultrasonic welding, and laser welding technologies.

• Ability to collaborate effectively across multicultural and cross-functional teams.
