Design Release Engineer - ADAS Sensor Integration

Summary: 

The Sensor Integration Design and Release Engineer will lead the design and release of ADAS sensor hardware integration from concept through vehicle launch. The role ensures that sensor placement, mounting, protection, interfaces, and vehicle packaging support required system performance and production requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Design and release hardware integration for ADAS sensors and related components across vehicle programs. 
• Define sensor mounting locations, brackets, interfaces, packaging, and design requirements in coordination with system and vehicle teams. 
• Assess impacts of mounting geometry, alignment, tolerances, vibration, temperature, contamination, and surrounding vehicle features. 
• Coordinate engineering designs and systems with purchasing, suppliers, testing team, manufacturing team, and other vehicle subsystems and functions 
• Coordinate integration with body, exterior trim, glazing, lighting, electrical, and other vehicle systems. 
• Work with suppliers to create specifications and requirements of the components. 
• Provide technical support and system analysis for root cause analysis of development issues 
• Provide professional reports and documentation for the system with information provided by design responsible engineers 
• Coordinate, lead and participate in design reviews 
• Work multi-functionally to implement cost reduction methods and product improvements, and to support prototype and production build activities 
• Remain up-to-date in relevant new technology and products 
• Travel as required 
• Perform other duties as needed

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering plus 5 years relevant experience.
• Education with the following specialties preferred: Mechanical, Mechanical Technology, Aerospace, Automotive, Manufacturing. 
• Experience with ADAS systems and automotive sensor hardware integration from concept through launch. 
• Extensive hands-on experience designing in CATIA V5/V6 
• Knowledge and working experience with DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) 
• Ability to coordinate with systems engineering, packaging, suppliers, validation, and vehicle teams.
• Knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and tooling.

Preferred: 

• Familiarity with camera, radar, ultrasonic, lidar, or other vehicle sensing technologies relevant to the program. 
• Understanding of sensor fields of view, mounting alignment, tolerance sensitivity, calibration access, and vehicle-level packaging. 
• Knowledge of sensor performance considerations such as vibration, thermal exposure, electromagnetic compatibility, and obstruction or contamination.
