Exterior Designer for Doors / Flaps Automotive *Türkiye*

Responsibilities:

• Design and development of door and hatch systems, including mechanisms like hinge,
  sliding, and folding systems
• Integration of door mechanisms such as locking systems, latches, seals, and electrical
  components (e.g., power windows)
• Development of efficient assembly concepts and solutions for door and hatch assembly
  in the production process
• Selection and application of materials such as steel, aluminum, plastics, and composites
  (e.g., CFRP, GFRP)
• Performing crash simulations and structural analyses to ensure safety requirements are
  met in case of accidents
• Optimizing soundproofing and acoustics in door and hatch components
• Using CAD software (e.g., CATIA, Siemens NX, SolidWorks) to model and create
  manufacturing drawings
• Conducting FEM analyses and motion analyses to validate the functionality and safety
  of door mechanisms
• Planning and conducting tests like load tests, crash tests, wind tunnel tests, and durability analyses to validate components
• Ensuring quality control and performing failure analysis during series production, working closely with manufacturing to improve fit, functionality, and durability
• Project planning, coordination, and budgeting for door and hatch development projects,
  including collaboration with other departments such as bodywork, interior, electronics,
  and manufacturing
• Performing cost estimation and selecting suppliers for door and hatch components
• Ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001,
  IATF 16949) in door and hatch production

Requirements:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field
• Strong knowledge in the design of doors and hatches and their mechanisms
• Experience with manufacturing technologies such as stamping, drawing, forming, injection molding, welding, and adhesive bonding
• Experience with crash simulations and FEM analysis
• Proficient in CAD software and simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or Altair
  HyperWorks
• Knowledge of materials, especially for doors and hatches like aluminum, steel, and
  composites
• Experience in planning and conducting tests to validate door and hatch components
• Ability to collaborate across departments and manage projects
• Understanding ergonomic and safety requirements for door and hatch mechanisms
• Experience in cost estimation and supplier coordination
• Knowledge of relevant safety, environmental, and quality standards

As an exterior designer for doors and hatches in the automotive sector, you will be responsible for developing the outer components of a vehicle that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. These components include vehicle doors, tailgates, hoods, trunk lids, and other opening mechanisms. A degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, or a related field is required. To succeed in this role, you need strong technical knowledge, design capabilities, material expertise, manufacturing experience, and project coordination skills.
