Job Description
Title: Product Engineer - Seating
Worksite Location: Westfield, Indiana
Duties: Indiana Mills & Manufacturing Inc. dba IMMI seeks Product Engineer - Seating in Westfield, IN to design seating products, create test conditions, procedures, methods and tools/scripts for verification/validation of IMMI’s seating safety products all the way to production. This position will use their knowledge and experience in designing and testing to determine the performance specification, cost, and timing to deliver top quality safety products to our clients. The detailed duties are as follows: Develop and execute system requirements for the seating products and related commodities including system architecture and functional feasibility. Achieve customer-driven system targets for function, cost, and weight. Participate in the iterative process with the design/product performance to deliver the optimal balance of form vs. function vs. cost. Formalize innovative seat solutions considering relevant Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Work on metal stamping/forming designs, foam and/or plastic materials for different seating solutions. Devise and/or integrate mechanisms for different seat system features and functions while meeting required regulatory, durability and weight-cost targets. Optimize designs with the appropriate analytical and physical assessments including engineering calculations, applied mechanics analysis, and regression checks/testing. Interpret and scrutinize Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation results, debug or assist in CAE model corrections for meeting the objective and integrate recommendations into product design. Further aid in correlating physical test outcomes to the CAE analysis. Create & review engineering cost estimates: material costs, design-development costs, validation costs, etc. Complete and release seating components, sub-system, and detail designs utilizing a mix of inhouse design and supplier engineering as required. Utilize Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) tools as appropriate during design, validation, and launch of the product(s). Responsible for technical documentation to include Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEAs), Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&Rs), Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM). Implement designs, processes, and material selections to achieve/surpass desired execution of seat craftsmanship, fit & finish, and appeal. Work with purchasing and supplier quality teams to ensure parts are sourced correctly and meet required quality levels; assist in Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). Collaborate with cross functional teams such as Manufacturing, Procurement, Quality, Operations, etc. to ensure seating system manufacturing and assembly feasibility and serviceability. Domestic and international travel up to 25%.
Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, automotive systems engineering, and related field. 6 years’ experience in the mechanical and/or automotive engineering field, 4 years of which must focus on transportation seat system design and development. 3 years of experience in seat structure design and development – primarily for high volume products involving designing for processes such as forming, stamping, drawing, casting, molding, etc. 3 years of experience in seat motion and/or feature adjustment mechanism design and development. 3 years of experience in design, development and/or integration of plastic components. 4 years of experience and knowledge of 3D CAD software: CATIA V5 or SOLIDWORKS. 3 years of experience in GD&T, DFMEA, DVP, APQP, QFD and related engineering tools. Knowledge of industry, safety, regulatory standards: FMVSS, CMVSS, SAE, ASTM, ECE R16, AKLV, GB, NOM. Knowledge of FEA analysis, principles, material properties, and experience of implementing it for seat design. Knowledge of the engineering methodology: Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM and DFA). Domestic and international travel up to 25%.
