Stamped Door DRE Management: Lead the engineering design, packaging, release, and change management (DCN/ECN) for stamped steel and aluminum side door assemblies (inner/outer panels, structural reinforcements, and beltline structures).
Door Systems & Hardware Integration: Coordinate packaging and functional interfaces for dynamic door components, including hinges, latches, strikers, check arms, window regulators, glass runs, side-impact beams, and weather-strip seals.
3D CAD & Kinematic Packaging: Execute CAD packaging studies, dynamic door-swing clearance evaluations, glass drop trajectories, and seal compression modeling in Siemens NX or CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE.
Stamping Feasibility & DFMA: Collaborate with Stamping and Tooling teams to evaluate drawability, springback, hem-flange joining, laser welding, and spot-weld access to ensure strict Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) compliance.
Quality & Stack-up Control: Establish GD&T schemes, conduct 3D tolerance stack-up analyses to control flush and gap requirements, manage DFMEAs, and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOM).
Validation & Shop-Floor Support: Interpret CAE simulation results (modal, sag, stiffness, dynamic latching, side-impact crash) and lead physical prototype trial builds to resolve assembly, seal-leakage, or fitment issues.
