We are looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Advanced Vehicle Architecture Engineer with strong experience in vehicle ergonomics and DVP execution. In this role, you will be responsible for defining and validating occupant packaging and human factors in support of the vehicle's overall architecture. You will lead ergonomic analysis throughout the development cycle to ensure occupant comfort, accessibility, visibility, and regulatory compliance.
Develop and maintain vehicle-level ergonomic targets for driver and occupant packaging based on customer usage, benchmark data, and regulatory requirements.
Perform and manage Ergonomics DVP (Design Verification Plan) for occupant positions, ingress/egress, reachability, visibility, comfort, and usability.
Support and lead the digital and physical assessment of occupant packaging using virtual tools (RAMSIS, CATIA, Siemens Jack, or equivalent) and physical bucks.
Create and manage 3D human models to assess posture, clearance, and range of motion across different population percentiles.
Collaborate with teams including Interior Engineering, HMI, Safety, Studio Design, Body, and Chassis to ensure that ergonomic requirements are met.
Ensure compliance with FMVSS, ECE, SAE, ISO, and OEM-specific ergonomic standards.
Support interface points definition such as seating positions, pedal and steering locations, H-point strategy, vision angles, and control layouts.
Document and communicate ergonomic performance results, risks, and mitigation plans across vehicle development phases.
Contribute to benchmarking and user studies to drive best-in-class occupant experiences.
Present ergonomic assessments and DVP status at design reviews, gateway meetings, and management reviews.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Human Factors, Ergonomics, or a related field.
5 to 10 years of experience in automotive vehicle architecture or ergonomics engineering.
Proficient in ergonomic simulation tools (e.g., RAMSIS, Jack, CATIA, Siemens NX).
Strong understanding of human factors engineering, occupant packaging, and design validation plans.
Experience with vehicle packaging, occupant positioning strategies, and regulatory requirements.
Knowledge of Design for Usability, anthropometric data application, and posture analysis.
Excellent communication, cross-functional collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Master’s degree in Human Factors, Ergonomics, or Automotive Engineering.
Experience working in vehicle development phases from concept to production.
Background in interior systems, controls layout, HMI, or visibility studies.
Familiarity with global ergonomic regulations and testing standards.
Minimum 5 to 10 years of working experience.
