What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vehicle Integration Engineer position at LER TechForce?
Vehicle Integration with Catia-Automotive
Are you looking to work for a company that provides an innovative work environment, and your voice is heard? We have a position for a Vehicle Integration with Catia-Automotive to work onsite at our client in Nacogdoches, TX
What you will be doing:
A Vehicle Integration Engineer utilizing CATIA is responsible for managing the Digital Mock-Up (DMU), ensuring different sub-systems fit together, and balancing structural or functional requirements. They bridge styling intent with manufacturing realities, utilizing 3D CAD to manage packaging trade-offs from concept to production.
Key Responsibilities:
- Master Assembly & Packaging:
- Create and manipulate large assemblies in CATIA V5/V6. Manage the digital mockup to maintain spatial compliance and solve geometric incompatibilities between subsystems.
- Clash & Clearance Analysis:
- Conduct rigorous reviews to identify packaging conflicts, spatial constraints, and ensure regulatory clearances (e.g., vision zones, dynamic part envelopes).
- Interface Management:
- Define and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) outlining critical mounting and connection strategies between major hardware modules (e.g., battery pack to chassis).
- PLM Collaboration:
- Use product lifecycle management systems (such as ENOVIA or Teamcenter) for Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and revision control.
- Cross-Functional Alignment:
- Collaborate with engineering leads, design studios, and manufacturing teams to validate physical and virtual builds.
What you'll need to be successful:
Essential:
- Software:
- Advanced proficiency in CATIA (V5, V6, or 3DEXPERIENCE) with a strong understanding of large assembly management and surfacing.
- Engineering Acumen:
- A degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering.
- Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T):
- Strong grasp of tolerance stack-up analysis to validate component fitment during physical assembly.
- Automotive Packaging:
- Understanding of occupant ergonomics, vehicle architecture, and multi-domain trade-offs.
