Design Engineer - Sealing

Design Engineer - Sealing

Key Responsibilities & Tasks:

• • Design and develop automotive sealing systems (door seals, window seals, trunk seals, hood seals, sunroof seals) ensuring compliance with vehicle requirements.
  • Create and modify 3D CAD models and 2D drawings using tools like CATIA V5/V6
  • Define section profiles considering functional requirements such as sealing performance, compression, and manufacturability.
  • Ensure adherence to master sections, styling surfaces, and gap & flush targets.
  • Support Validation of designs through CAE simulations and physical testing (water leak test, wind noise, durability, compression set).
  • Work closely with Body Engineering, Closures, Trim, Manufacturing, and Supplier teams for design integration.
  • Interface with suppliers for design feasibility, tooling inputs, and cost optimization.
  • Manage design releases through ENOVIA PLM systems.
  • Handle Engineering Change Requests (ECR/ECO) and ensure proper documentation.
  • Ensure compliance with OEM standards, regulatory requirements, and global specifications.
  • Apply best practices in weatherstrip design, rubber materials (EPDM, TPE), and joining techniques.

Bachelor’s/ Master’s  Degree in Engineering  in Mechanical / Automobile Engineering.

Essential:

• Strong design knowledge of automotive sealing systems & weatherstrips.
• Expertise in CATIA V5/V6 and ENOVIA PLM Systems
• Understanding of Body-in-White (BIW) interfaces and closures systems
• Knowledge of Sealing DV/PV and testing standards.
• Exposure to global vehicle development processes (GPDS, APQP)

Desirable:

4-10 years
