The Design Release Engineer is responsible for the design, development and release of components and Exterior Trim - Functional Plastics Engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Design, specify, test, validate and publish parts for assigned vehicle families; analyze and resolve failures produced by parts; propose, validate and obtain cost reductions inherent to these components.
• Perform changes or modifications to component parts of assigned vehicle families
• Request and authorize required tests to systems, parts and components of assigned vehicle families to validate that they comply with design requirements.
• Elaborate and evaluate assembly and operation tests of parts in the assembly plants before their incorporation to vehicle production (Production Evaluation Request).
• Determine and issue temporary or final approvals to part validations of assigned vehicle families.
• Analyze and resolve malfunctions and durability failures of parts in units of assigned vehicle families.
• Develop parts with suppliers according to the "Source Package" process.
• Support to assembly and manufacturing plants in the use and application of specifications and designs to the latest engineering change.
• Standardize components and benchmark (performance, weight, cost efficiency).
• Develop FMEAs
• Approve or reject requests for temporary or definitive deviations to the product.
• Request manufacture of prototypes and batches of parts to solve warranty problems.
• Propose and/or elaborate cost reductions (TCR/VO).
• Perform product change notifications (CN's).- Verify product manufacturing process prior to parts production.
• Obtaining product change information, obtaining product change implementation dates, technical service bulletins and/or campaigns, obtaining product engineering standards, parts lists and engineering charts.
• Coordinate DFMEAs and PFMEAs with suppliers.
• Support piloting phases in assembly plants.
