About the Position

We are seeking a 3D/Catia Expert with expert-level proficiency in CATIA and 3D modeling to join our automotive team in Bucharest, Romania.

Responsibilities

Expert in 3D design and digital product development using CATIA (or comparable CAD tools), responsible for creating, managing, and optimizing mechanical and electromechanical designs as well as installation concepts in a 3D environment (e.g., ECUs, harness integration, packaging).
Create and maintain 3D models and assemblies for components and systems (e.g., ECUs, housings, brackets, harness routing).
Ensure correct packaging and installation within the overall product/vehicle architecture: space allocation, collision-free design, mounting concepts, consideration of thermal, mechanical, and environmental constraints.
Define and implement design rules and modeling standards to ensure consistency and quality.
Support integration of electrical and electronic components (e.g., HW, harness, connectors) into the mechanical environment.
Perform clash/clearance analyses, tolerance analyses (dimension chains, variability).
Enable manufacturability: support design for manufacturing (DFM), assembly (DFA), and serviceability.
Maintain data quality in PLM/PDM systems (structure, versioning, release).
Support change management (ECR/ECO) by updating models and ensuring consistency across assemblies.
Collaborate closely with: HW design, harness design, system engineering, and manufacturing.
Provide 3D data and documentation for: simulation, validation, and supplier interfaces.

Requirements

Expert-level proficiency in CATIA (or comparable CAD tools), including:
- 3D modeling (parts, assemblies)
- Surface and solid design
- Kinematics and installation studies
Strong understanding of:
- Mechanical design principles (materials, tolerances, fastening methods)
- Packaging and integration in complex systems (e.g., vehicle environment)
Ability to:
- Interpret system and architectural requirements and translate them into 3D designs
- Perform and evaluate clash, clearance, and tolerance analyses
Knowledge of:
- Manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, sheet metal, etc.)
- Integration of electrical/electronic components (ECUs, connectors, harness routing)
Competence in:
- Data management in PLM/PDM systems
- Applying CAD standards, naming conventions, and release processes
Analytical and structured problem-solving skills, especially for integration conflicts

Nice to Have

Collaboration competence in cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, system, suppliers)
