BIW Design Lead - Automotive Body Structures

Our client, an engineering services company, is looking for a BIW Lead to design and develop automotive body-in-white structural parts in Japan, and to lead a small design team.

You will design body structures in UG NX, in both surfacing and solid modelling, and produce the 2D drawings, 3D models and annotations. You will take designs from concept through manufacturing feasibility, using your knowledge of stamping and welding, materials, dimensional management and GD&T. You will run packaging studies for clearance to the parts around, and manage the bill of materials and engineering releases through the product data system.

You will make sure the team delivers on time and to the customer's quality, check the team's work, raise what cannot be solved in time, and keep the customer, the team on site and offshore, and management in step.

We are looking for 8 to 12 years in the automotive industry, at least 5 of them on body-in-white and at least 2 leading a team, with excellent UG NX skills and a degree in mechanical engineering. You must be able to work in both Japanese and English.
