Design Leader

Design Leader position for Industrialization phase (tuning/mock-up activities)

Ensure product design and architecture to meet the customer quality requirements (including weight, recycling... specifications), manufacturing requirements (design for manufacturing) as well as all costs and  timing expectations  
Manage functionally the CAD resources to fulfill the design  
Ensures Design Standard are implemented
KPI and/or main deliverables: 
CTQ (Critical to Quality) convergence  
Isostatism file + stack up analysis folder  
Style surfaces analysis  
Design review actions plan  
Product 3D + 2D data

MAIN ACTIVITIES:  
Work according to HSE requirements  
Get from customer all technical elements necessary for the design (gap and flushness requirements, surrounding parts, interfaces…)  
Look for solutions and suggests technical proposals for project decision, respecting existing documents in network (design standards, lessons learnt, benchmark reports…)  
Realize and pilots the design of parts and products: analyzes the feasibility (styling surface, parting lines, aspect, injection, demoulding, painting, assembly, packaging, perceived quality, recycling …) with regards to functional specifications from customer. According to the complexity of the parts, the phase of the project and its competencies, he will have to define the parts with CAD software used in-house or pilot CAD engineers in order to make the full 3D data of the parts  
Manage the daily technical flow of information with CAD office and the Tier 2 suppliers according to the standard  
Check and validates the quality of the CAD files received from suppliers and design offices  
Ensures the regular update of the 3D data, 2D drawing and parts’ attributes within the CAD file database  
Check and suggests the datum schemes of the parts, semi-finished products and products and updates it during the project  
Build the geometry file with stack-ups and tolerances, ensures the validation by the Geometry Engineer.  
Updates this folder during the project life  
Liaise with the toolmaker together with the Injection & Tooling Engineer to optimize the design of the tools at the same time as the design of the parts  
Before the tool kick-off, defines and formalizes with EPM and the Injection & Tool Engineer the un-frozen areas to be taken into account for the tools realization  
For manufacturing of the checking fixtures, suggests to the EPM and the Geometry Engineer the functional specification to take into account (list of nominal parts, list of sub-assembly and assembly to measure…)  
Follow the realization of 2D 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 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 drawings of the supplier  

For POE parts designed by POAE:  
Provide the 3D data, functional specifications and gap & flushness to the supplier to validate process feasibility  
Update the 3D data if needed 
Provide the 2D drawings to the supplier  
Propose and leads the Design Reviews on his project  
Execute the actions decided during the design reviews and updates regularly the action plan  
Take into account the perimeter changes after written validation from the EPM  
Manage the CAD file exchanges with the customer respecting internal standards and customer specifications  
During the tuning phase:  
Validate the 2D drawings of the supplier  
Can participate to tool trials  
Can manage the manufacturing of samples for the customer and the process validation o Can participate to the cubing events at the customer  
Analyze and suggests modifications on the parts and products to meet the requirements (by taking also into account the feedback from other team members) 
Update or pilot the updates of the CAD data according to modifications validated by the project  
Report to the EPM the status of the Design Reviews and related actions, the CAD data timing plan and action plan  
Capitalize and formalizes the lessons learned of the design during all the project life 

Long-term employment and stimulative pay
Working in a highly motivated and young development team
Working with the most modern technologies
Opportunities for professional and personal growth
