3+ years expHyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) is seeking a passionate Design Engineer II to support the design, development, and validation of Brake Systems for U.S. SUV, pickup truck and off-road vehicles. The role involves leveraging mechanical engineering skills to create robust, high-performance Braking Systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and achieve durability and reliability goals.
Automotive
Responsibilities
Support Brake System Design: Be engaged in the end-to-end design of Braking components (e.g. hydraulic boosters, calipers, rotors, pads, actuators) using CATIA V5. Generate detailed 3D models and 2D drawings, and be responsible for CAD release for prototyping and production. Some CATIA V5 training is available in house
Support Mechanical Analysis: Support detailed engineering analysis (FEA, multi-body simulation, NVH studies, etc.) to predict brake performance, durability and noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) characteristics. Iterate designs based on simulation and test data to optimize stopping power and reliability
Support Concept Development: Support development of and documentation of Brake System concepts and packaging layouts, considering vehicle geometry, on and off-road requirements, performance, etc. Ensure concepts align with project requirements and standards
Validation Planning & Testing: Support validation plans for Brake systems. This includes supporting the creation of test plans, Supporting prototype builds, bench and full-vehicle tests (durability, NVH, ride comfort, handling, off-road performance etc). Support correlation of test data with simulation results and follow requests for design refinements as needed
Supplier Coordination: Collaborate with Tier-1 suppliers on component design and development. Support technical direction and review supplier CAD models and drawings. Support the supplier design review process and ensure supplier deliverables meet specifications and quality standards
Design Review & Documentation: Support and participate in design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA sessions, and design-for-manufacturing discussions. Prepare, when required and support maintaining engineering documents (specifications, test reports, control plans, etc.) and support adherence to and compliance with industry and regulatory standards
Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement: Help investigate and resolve engineering issues during development and support after production launch issues if requested. Support implementation of corrective actions and work with other team members on continuous improvement of Braking System design and development processes. Review IQS, VDS, JP Power & Consumer reports to support warranty and quality issues
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing, quality, and product engineering teams to ensure designs are feasible for production and service. Participate and support in APQP/PPAP type processes to support vehicle program launches
Leadership & Mentorship: Act as technical support within the chassis/Brake team. Mentor and train junior engineers, providing guidance on engineering best practices and project management
