Product Engineer in Windsor

Our Engineering team is looking for a dynamic and driven candidate who is interested in joining a fast-growing global company in the automotive sector. In this position, you will be the primary customer interface in leading product design and development for body structures & battery housing projects.

Key responsibilities may include:

• Creating and modifying 3D models and 2D drawings for BIW components (e.g., battery housing, bumper assembly, side structures) using CAD tools (CATIA, NX).
• Optimizing an initial product design to improve manufacturability, reduce cost, and shorten time to market.
• Attending customer PDT meetings, keeping track of design open issues, managing engineering change and creating DFMEA, DVP&R and GD&T.
• Providing professional engineering assistance and consultation to other engineers and departments on technical matters for body structure products.

This candidate will need to be able to work in a multinational, multicultural global setting.

Core responsibilities include:

• Working with OEM technical team in the development of structural products to ensure the product meets all requirements of the customer SOR/specifications, manufacturability, and quality objectives.
• Ensuring the body meets performance, safety (crash), durability, and NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) targets.
• Selecting materials (high-strength steels, aluminum) and designing for stamping, welding, assembly, and cost-effectiveness.
• Analyzing the product assembly chain, evaluating tolerance stack‑up effects among components, optimizing tolerance allocation, and preventing assembly interference or functional failures caused by accumulated tolerances.
• Preparing necessary technical documentation and working with manufacturing, tooling, stamping, closures, and quality teams to ensure designs are feasible and production‑ready.
• Performing feasibility checks, interface reviews, and supporting validation (DVP&R, DFMEA).
• Troubleshooting issues during prototype builds and production related to water leaks, corrosion, fit, and function.

To qualify for this role you must meet the following:

• Bachelor degree or above in mechanical engineering or material relevant.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in automotive product design and development of automotive body structure and battery enclosures.
• Experience in aluminum material or aluminum structure product design will be a plus.
• Experience in steel material or roll forming/stamping high strength steel structure product design will be a plus.
• Experience in one or more processes, such as aluminum extrusion, stamping, welding (CMT, FSW, Laser), riveting or other new processes.

Key to being successful in this role:

• In‑depth knowledge of ASME Y14.5M-2009.
• Creative, constructive, and positive approach to problem‑solving.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills with technical proficiency.
• Knowledge of various production and prototype manufacturing methods.
• Knowledge of DFMEA and Control Plan.
• Experience in aluminum and steel body structures.
• Ability to work collaboratively with cross‑functional teams.
