What you will be doing:

A Vehicle Integration Engineer utilizing CATIA is responsible for managing the Digital Mock-Up (DMU), ensuring different sub-systems fit together, and balancing structural or functional requirements. They bridge styling intent with manufacturing realities, utilizing 3D CAD to manage packaging trade-offs from concept to production.

Key Responsibilities:

Master Assembly & Packaging:

Create and manipulate large assemblies in CATIA V5/V6. Manage the digital mockup to maintain spatial compliance and solve geometric incompatibilities between subsystems.

Clash & Clearance Analysis:

Conduct rigorous reviews to identify packaging conflicts, spatial constraints, and ensure regulatory clearances (e.g., vision zones, dynamic part envelopes).

Interface Management:

Define and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) outlining critical mounting and connection strategies between major hardware modules (e.g., battery pack to chassis).

PLM Collaboration:

Use product lifecycle management systems (such as ENOVIA or Teamcenter) for Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and revision control.

Cross-Functional Alignment:

Collaborate with engineering leads, design studios, and manufacturing teams to validate physical and virtual builds.
