KBE Engineer - Senior

• Knowledge Based Engineer (KBE). Responsibilities include creating CAD (Catia/NX) parametric math models for commodities using Knowledge Based Engineering template modelling techniques.
• Position requires extensive knowledge of Catia/NX modeling and an extensive background developing / packaging / synthesizing complex vehicle systems.
• Additional responsibilities include dictating architecture and construction techniques, creating master development / packaging / requirement sections, defining master template modeling structures, and training other Catia/NX engineers on modeling techniques, architecture.
• The ADAS Sensor Packaging Engineer owns the end-to-end packaging of Park Assist Sensors (PAS) and Medium/Long Range Radars (MRR/LRR) within exterior systems.
• This role builds and maintains sensor scorecards, validates compliance to CDD and supplier guidelines (e.g., curvature, rake, ROC (radius of curvature), groundline, B side clearances), generates install/uninstall envelopes, and leads the release of study and POR (plan of record) positions through Teamcenter across multiple vehicle programs. The engineer collaborates daily with PDO/Studio, ADAS, DREs, and suppliers to converge surfaces and hardware on compliant, manufacturable solutions, while documenting status via OK2M decks and controlled Step B/C releases.

• Own PAS & Radar Packaging across front and rear fascia domains, positioning sensors per CDD baseline and surface releases; update PAS and Radar evaluations as surfaces evolve to maintain compliance and clear interferences.
• Create & maintain program scorecards for MRR/LRR/PAS that capture requirements, pass/fail status, risk notes, and POR recommendations for each surface/baseline.
• Generate install/uninstall envelopes (e.g., rear uninstall) and integrate them into scorecards and program documentation to protect serviceability.
• Validate regulatory & supplier criteria including curvature radius, rake angle, ROC/groundline methodology, flushness and connector orientation, distance to B side, and coverage/clearance to surrounding components. Escalate shortfalls with clear, actionable proposals.
• Author study and POR positions (e.g., moving PAS or MRR outboard/down, re centering covers) and request corresponding surface updates from PDO; iterate through successive CDD releases.
• Release and baseline outputs in Teamcenter (e.g., Step B/Step C) for sensors, covers, and AI nodes; ensure DMU and pre-production trees are current.
• Update Reports/issue decks with clear one pagers that show deltas to requirements, residual risks (e.g., minor rake or curvature non-compliance), and decisions needed from Studio/SE/ADAS.
• Cross functional coordination with PDO/Studio, S&C, ADAS, DREs, and suppliers (e.g., Veoneer, Bosch) to reconcile packaging vs. styling constraints, confirm best practices (e.g., radar in front of beam in certain conditions), and secure buy offs.
• Methods & training—apply agreed “minimum” ROC and ground plane methods; contribute to training and continuous improvement of sensor templates and scorecard standards.

• Bachelor’s in mechanical, Automotive, or related Engineering field.
• Proficiency with NX/DMU workflows and Teamcenter (baselining, Step releases, AI nodes).

• Siemens NX, Teamcenter, corporate DMU practices.
• Program documentation: Scorecards, OK2M decks, and release notes keyed to part number references and surface releases.

• Daily with PDO/Studio, ADAS, DREs, and supplier engineering.
• Regular syncs for surface releases and POR decisions, plus milestone Step B/C release readiness reviews.
