Design Lead

Your main tasks will be to:

• Works according to HSE requirements.
• Gets from customer all technical elements necessary for the design (gap and flushness requirements, surrounding parts, interfaces)
• Looks for solutions and suggests technical proposals to EPM for project decision, respecting existing documents in OP network (design standards/PODS, lessons learnt, benchmark reports)
• Realizes and pilots the design of parts and products: analyses the feasibility (styling surface, parting lines, aspect, injection, demoulding, painting, assembly, packaging, perceived quality, recycling ) with regards to functional specifications from customer
•  Manages the daily technical flow of information with CAD office and the Tier 2 suppliers according to the PO standard
• Checks and validates the quality of the CAD files received from customer, suppliers and design offices
• Ensures the regular update of the 3D data, 2D drawing and parts' attributes within the OP CAD file database (TDM).
• Checks and suggests the reference systems of the parts, semi-finished products and products and updates it during the project
• Builds the geometry file with stack-ups and tolerances, ensures the validation by the Geometry Engineer. Updates this folder during the project life
• Liaises with the toolmaker together with the Injection & Tooling Engineer to optimize the design of parts (according to tool feasibility).
• Before the tool kick-off, defines and formalizes with EPM and the Injection & Tool Engineer the tuning zone areas to be taken into account for the tools realization 
• Follows the realization of 2D/3D drawings of the internal parts and assembly regarding to the project requirements. Validates technically these drawings before submission to the project for validation before provided to customer

For POE parts designed by the Tier 2 suppliers: 

• Provides to the supplier all 3D data needed, gap & flushness requirements and functional specifications 
• Analyses the planning of the design of the supplier and checks that it is compatible with his own activities 
• Participates to the validation of the datum scheme, the tolerance stack-ups and measuring points
• Checks and validates the 3D design and give feed-back to the supplier and to the EPM 
• Validates the 2D/3D drawings of the supplier 

For POE parts designed by POAE:

• Provides the 3D data, functional specifications and gap & flushness to the supplier to validate process feasibility 
• Updates the 3D data if needed 
• Provides the 2D/3D drawings to the supplier 
• Proposes and leads the Design Reviews on his project
• Executes the actions decided during the design reviews and updates regularly the action plan 
• Takes into account the perimeter changes after written validation from the EPM
• Manages the CAD file exchanges with the customer respecting internal standards and customer specifications 
• Participates to the study and means validation of the checking fixture 
• Could use checking fixture for product fine tuning 

During the tuning phase: 

• Validates the 2D/3D drawings of the supplier 
• Can participate to tool trials 
• Can manage the manufacturing of samples for the customer and the process validation 
• Can participate to the cubing events at the customer 
• Analyses and suggests modifications on the parts and products to meet the requirements (by taking also into account the feedback from other team members) 
• Updates or pilot the updates of the CAD data according to modifications validated by the project 
• Reports to the EPM the status of the Design Reviews and related actions, the CAD data timing plan and action plan
• Capitalizes and formalizes the lessons learned of the design during all the project life

Experience: 7-10 Years
