Role Overview – Stamping & Plastics (Development)

This role focuses on stamping development and feasibility for exterior body components (Class A surfaces) . The work involves early-stage collaboration with design teams, surfacing, and simulation to ensure manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities

• Work from early design sketches in collaboration with engineering/design teams
• Perform surfacing and modeling in CATIA (V5/V6)
• Run AutoForm simulations to assess part feasibility and formability
• Evaluate:
• Manufacturability of parts
• Cost effectiveness of designs
• Support development of Class A exterior body panels (with occasional door/floor components)
• Handle multiple projects simultaneously in a high-volume workload environment
• Present and summarize feasibility findings to stakeholders
• Gain exposure to the die structure / manufacturing tooling side

Required Experience

• Class A stamping part feasibility experience
• Strong experience with CATIA V5 or V6 (surfacing/modeling required—not just basic use)
• Experience running AutoForm simulations and interpreting results
• Understanding of formability and stamping processes
• General manufacturing background (stamping, die design, or tooling)
• Typically 3+ years of relevant experience
