Key Responsibilities:
Design and develop automotive systems and components (engine, transmission, chassis, etc.)
Conduct research and development to improve vehicle performance and safety
Test vehicles and parts for durability, performance, emissions, and safety standards
Analyze data from tests and simulations to make design improvements
Collaborate with teams from design, production, quality, and supply chain departments
Resolve engineering issues related to manufacturing or vehicle performance
Ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and regulatory requirements
Use CAD software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks) for design and modeling
Stay updated with new technologies like EV systems, autonomous vehicles, and lightweight materials
Prepare technical documentation and reports
