Lead interface to customer for customer change control, technical, issues, and program engineering deliverables. Support continuous improvement of the design. Candidate also engineers products / systems / EDS WH routing using established development processes with our automotive/non-automotive customers and internal affiliates and external suppliers. Create, validate and verify concepts and designs/data through sound engineering knowledge while following approved company processes and practices. Works independently as well as with a team and strives to learn from their experiences and advance in their level of knowledge. The candidate is proficient in interpreting customer wire harness drawing data and can analyze EDS data to collaborate with internal departments, ensuring accurate completion of the quotation process and providing support for prototype builds when needed. This position can also be located in Plano or El Paso, TX.
What you will be doing:
Packaging Engineers may be responsible for packaging and/or analyzing the wire harness routing or wire harness related products into CAD. The CAD system is either an internal Yazaki CAD system. Circuitry design may also be included with the design related activity. Packaging or circuitry CAD work may involve creating 3D data, cutting sections, converting 3D data to 2D drawings, verifying design by reviewing check sheets and reviewing customer's workability and Yazaki manufacturing's workability. Design reviews to validate design and workability issues may be conducted at customer and Yazaki facilities.The W/H Circuitry Engineer may be responsible for designing vehicle system circuitry or correcting customer-provided EDS data.
