BIW & Battery Housing Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Mexico.

📋 Description

• Create Body in White (BIW) concepts utilizing structural castings, steel and aluminum stampings, extrusions, roll forms, composites, and hybrid assemblies.

• Oversee casting evaluations that include alloy selection, wall thickness, rib design, draft angles, parting lines, gating, porosity, distortion, machining, tooling, and datum strategies.

• Discover opportunities for part consolidation, reduction of joints, integration of attachments, mass minimization, and simplification of assembly processes.

• Collaborate with CAE teams to examine structural sections, load paths, crash management, stiffness, fatigue, durability, and local attachment specifications.

• Formulate mixed-material strategies employing FDS, resistance/MIG/laser welding, FSW, SPR, bolts, mechanical fasteners, adhesives, and sealants.

• Analyze joints for material stacking, accessibility, loading conditions, fatigue, corrosion, sealing, heat input, distortion, cycle time, equipment, and repairability.

• Specify requirements for flange design, access, edge distance, adhesive application, surface treatment, sealing, and corrosion prevention; assist with coupon and subsystem validation.

• Evaluate suppliers, simulations, tooling, process controls, machining, inspection protocols, quality plans, prototype testing, and root cause analysis for casting/joining.

⛳️ Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Materials, Metallurgical, Manufacturing, Welding Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Over 3 years of experience in automotive Body in White (BIW), structural design, casting, materials, or joining processes.

• Proven expertise in structural casting, preferably in aluminum high-pressure die casting, alongside experience with two additional BIW processes.

• In-depth knowledge of mixed-material joining, metallurgy, corrosion, fatigue, dimensional control, GD&T, DFMEA, DVP&R, PFMEA, and joint validation techniques.

• Preferred qualifications: experience with mega/giga castings, structural nodes, rails, or battery housings; familiarity with casting simulation, metallurgical testing, corrosion mitigation, NX/Teamcenter.

• Advanced English proficiency.

• English language skills at B2–C1 level.
