Lead Design Engineer

Overview

Mechanical Design Lead Engineer – ADAS Sensing Join *** Motors’ mission to accelerate sustainable energy adoption through cutting-edge electric vehicles. As a Mechanical Lead Design Engineer within the ADAS Sensing team, you’ll drive the design and development of innovative sensor mounting systems that deliver precision, durability, and performance. This role requires an experienced mechanical design professional with a strong background in automotive ADAS/AD systems, capable of independently managing complex design challenges and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced environment. Responsibilities

Design

robust module mounts

for accurate, repeatable positioning of exterior and interior ADAS sensors. Develop

kinematic mechanisms

and

shock/vibration stabilization structures

for enhanced reliability. Perform detailed

tolerance stack-up analyses

at component and system levels to ensure fit, function, and manufacturability. Lead

optical performance simulations (SPEOS)

to validate sensor performance under various conditions. Oversee

thermal and structural simulations (ANSYS)

to ensure design integrity and stability. Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including design studio, simulation, and supplier partners — to optimize packaging, serviceability, and integration. Engage with

Tier-1 suppliers

for mechanical system implementation and validation. Qualifications

5+ years

of mechanical design experience (automotive preferred). Expertise in

CATIA 3D CAD

and

ASME GD&T standards . Strong understanding of

tolerance analysis ,

2D detailed drawings , and

injection molding/plastics . Experience with

CAE tools

(e.g., ANSYS) and

thermal, shock, and vibration testing . Knowledge of

rapid prototyping techniques

and

vehicle electrical/harness integration . Proven ability to deliver

creative mechanical solutions

within tight spatial and functional constraints.
