Description

  • Own the technical roadmap and product delivery for door and closure systems, including mechanisms, structures, latches, seals, actuators, sensors, interfaces, electronics, and software.
  • Translate vehicle-level requirements into system requirements, architectures, design decisions, verification plans, and acceptance criteria.
  • Lead mechanism design and integration, including kinematics, actuator selection, latch and hinge integration, packaging, tolerances, and interfaces.
  • Align mechanical, electrical, software, systems, product, safety, validation, manufacturing, quality, design, and operations teams.
  • Coordinate technical work with engineering, manufacturing, and supplier partners across Japan, the United States, and Europe.
  • Lead prototype builds, vehicle integration, durability testing, root-cause investigations, design iterations, and production-readiness activities.
  • Address manufacturing, assembly, service, quality, reliability, and cost considerations through design-for-manufacturability and design-for-assembly practices.
  • Establish processes for requirements management, issue tracking, design reviews, change management, documentation, and technical decisions.

Requirements

  • Significant experience developing automotive closures or complex mechanical and electromechanical systems through multiple product-development stages; sliding-door experience is highly valuable.
  • Strong knowledge of mechanism design, kinematics, actuators, latches, hinges, seals, tolerance management, design verification, and reliability.
  • Experience taking a closure system or complex mechanism from concept through sourcing, validation, production, and launch.
  • Experience collaborating with suppliers, manufacturing partners, and cross-functional teams in automotive, mobility, robotics, aerospace, or similar complex-product environments.
  • Working knowledge of design for manufacturability, design for assembly, GD&T, tolerance analysis, FMEA, and quality-planning methods.
  • Experience with CATIA, 3DX, or comparable CAD and PLM tools, including at least DMU-level proficiency.
  • Experience using CAE tools for product development is preferred.
  • Strong communication, organization, judgment, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently in an ambiguous, rapidly changing international environment.
  • Professional fluency in English; Japanese language skills are preferred.
  • Willingness and ability to travel internationally, including extended collaboration or assignments in Japan and the United States.
