The Role
As a Senior Simultaneous Engineering & Formability Engineer , you will play a critical role in ensuring the manufacturability of all sheet metal product designs. You’ll develop stamping processes, perform formability analyses, and collaborate with cross-functional teams—including Design Studio, Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Program Management—to deliver balanced, integrated system designs for future program launches.
What You’ll Do
-
Conduct early manufacturing feasibility studies for new product designs.
-
Provide manufacturing input and engineering criteria to Styling and Product Engineering teams.
-
Develop preliminary die face layouts and perform formability analyses, iterating to optimize manufacturing conditions and identify potential concerns.
-
Propose solutions for manufacturing issues such as splits, wrinkles, surface defects, skid lines, material utilization, press handling, and throughput during product design development.
-
Support Die Leads in program health checks, stamping strategy reviews, and deviation requests.
-
Review and resolve manufacturability requirements with Product Development (DFM).
-
Prepare handoff documents and math data for production die sources during product release.
