Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your expertise in 3D design, digital mock-ups, and domain-specific engineering in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside a highly skilled, innovative, and collaborative team.

You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality, consistency, and compliance of deliverables within your assigned scope. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with cross-functional teams across the business (such as sourcing, industrialization, and manufacturing), manage domain activities, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives – and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of creating and managing 3D models, digital mock-ups, and design reviews, but also ensure compliance with quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) commitments.

We’ll look to you for:

• Performing 3D design, annotations, and 2D deliverables in compliance with QCD commitments, Metier rules, and processes

  
  

• Modelling and storing allocated volumes and interfaces for sub-systems/components in the Digital Mock-Up

  
  

• Verifying consistency of the digital mock-up and compliance with requirements (e.g., allocated volumes, weight, interfaces)

  
  

• Preparing and documenting Domain Design Reviews and following up on open actions

  
  

• Checking the quality of CADs and sub-contractor designs

  
  

• Realizing stack-up analysis and creating Bills of Material

  
  

• Planning and piloting Electrical/Mechanical Domain activities for assigned zones

  
  

• Resolving project issues and ensuring deliverables are aligned with project requirements

  
  

• Supporting sourcing, industrialization, and manufacturing teams during the production ramp-up

  
  

• Collaborating with MDL for continuous improvement of the domain

  
  

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Degree in engineering, preferably Mechanical (junior profiles welcome)

  
  

• Good knowledge of GD&T (ISO and/or ASME) and stack-up calculations

• Proficiency in CATIA (or equivalent software)

  
  

• Familiarity with 3D management and good depth perception

  
  

• Fluency in English

  
  

• Rigorous and detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills
