Job Description

We are looking for a CATIA Design Engineer with experience in designing and developing powertrain or engine components. The candidate should have strong hands-on expertise in CATIA and a sound understanding of GD&T, manufacturing processes, engineering drawings, and automotive product development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop powertrain and engine components using CATIA.
• Create 3D models, assemblies, 2D drawings, and detailed manufacturing drawings.
• Work on components such as cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, crankcases, oil pans, intake/exhaust manifolds, covers, brackets, housings, shafts, gears, or related systems.
• Apply GD&T according to ASME Y14.5 or relevant engineering standards.
• Perform tolerance stack-up and dimensional analysis.
• Define datums, fits, clearances, surface finishes, and manufacturing tolerances.
• Review designs for manufacturability, assembly, functionality, quality, cost, and serviceability.
• Support design modifications, engineering changes, drawing releases, and BOM updates.
• Coordinate with CAE, manufacturing, quality, testing, suppliers, and cross-functional teams.
• Participate in design reviews, root-cause analysis, and issue resolution.
• Follow customer-specific design standards and product-development processes.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with CATIA V5 or CATIA V6/3DEXPERIENCE.
• Experience in Part Design, Assembly Design, Drafting, and Generative Shape Design.
• Product-design experience involving powertrain or engine components.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, datum systems, fits, and clearances.
• Understanding of casting, forging, machining, sheet-metal, and assembly processes.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and engineering specifications.
• Knowledge of DFMEA, DFM/DFA, BOM, engineering change management, and design validation.
• Familiarity with PLM/PDM systems such as ENOVIA, Teamcenter, or Windchill is preferred.
• Good analytical, problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills.

Preferred Experience

• Automotive OEM, Tier-1 supplier, or engineering-services background.
• Experience with diesel, petrol, hybrid, EV powertrain, transmission, or driveline components.
• Exposure to supplier drawing reviews and manufacturing feasibility studies.
• Knowledge of PLM release workflows and automotive quality standards.
