The CAD Designer / Engineer’s key responsibilities include:

1. Creating new CAD modelsof future products; 
2. Analyzing and modifying CAD models that YFSS receives from customers, suppliers, or other internal sources; 
3. Creating and modifying DWG files in theproper YFSS- and customer templates, including creating and applying the proper GD&T for the parts and assemblies;
4. Managing CAD data releases in YF PLM;
5. Communicating with internal YFITC and customer interfaces/ departments to transfer data.

Critical Skills:

• Good background in Safety / Restraint Systems including Frontal and side impact airbag modules and Steering Wheel Systems 
• Achieve targets for project cost,quality, design for manufacturing, and completion time as defined by the Lead Engineer.
• Understand the proper engineering design of plastic, cast Aluminum/ Magnesium, and stamped steel parts to avoid defects such as flow lines, sink marks, stress risers, etc.
• Understand injection molding, stamping, and casting manufacturing processes, and have the ability to apply that knowledge to proper part design for each specific assembly.
• Demonstrate the ability to analyze aproposed A-surface for tool-ability and be able to communicate the necessary changes to the YFITC and Customer teams.
• Demonstrate the ability to create sketches, assembly constraints, and complicated 3D parametric solids and surfaces using the appropriate YFITC and customer 2D/3D standards.
• Design product constructions (efficient in production and cost) according to specification described in Statement of Work and feasibility with usage of YFITC BBP and BEP.
• Supportpreparation of Bill of Material creation in PLM.
• Create engineering studies of concept, package, layout, and kinematics.
• Support coordination with customers and suppliers including data transfer.
• Coordinate, support and mentor of Product Designers in effective CAD utilization.
• Motivated with positive mindset and proactive creative thinking skills
• Must have flexible work schedule to support early morning (6am) or late night (9pm) meetings with global team as required.
• Understanding of tooling design concepts or principles

Qualifications:

• Associates Degree in CAD design OR Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably Mechanical or Aerospace from an ABET-accredited university or international equivalent.
• 2+ years of experience in product design, preferably within the automotive Tier 1 space.
• Software experience:
  • Design software: CATIA, NX – expert.
  • PLM software: Teamcenter, Enovia, SAP, AGILE – functional working knowledge.
• Knowledge of design, product change and automotive standard and procedures (FMVSS,Euro, NOM, ASME, ISO, CR-CN, ETC)
