Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Expert MCAD Engineer to support an Automotive Compute development project. The engineer will be responsible for mechanical design, 3D CAD modelling, engineering documentation, and design release activities within the Siemens NX and Teamcenter environment.

The ideal candidate has strong automotive product development experience, particularly in plastic component and die-cast part design, and can independently manage mechanical engineering deliverables throughout the product development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, modify and maintain 3D CAD models using Siemens NX 11/NX 12.
• Design mechanical components and assemblies in line with project requirements and engineering standards.
• Design plastic parts and die-cast components.
• Create and maintain technical drawings and engineering documentation using GD&T principles.
• Prepare and optimise CAD models for thermal and structural simulations and prototype manufacturing.
• Manage CAD data, technical documentation and engineering changes within Teamcenter.
• Support technical documentation release processes using Teamcenter and GES.
• Participate in design reviews and implement agreed engineering changes.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver project milestones on time.
• Ensure compliance with applicable design standards and project quality requirements.

Mandatory Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of professional experience with Siemens NX 11/NX 12.
• Practical experience in plastic component design.
• Practical experience in die-cast component design.
• Strong knowledge and practical application of GD&T.
• Experience preparing technical drawings and manufacturing documentation.
• Ability to work independently and manage engineering deliverables with minimal supervision.

Preferred Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in the automotive industry.
• Experience developing automotive electronic hardware products.
• Practical experience with Siemens Teamcenter.
• Experience with engineering change and release management processes.
• Experience with sheet metal design.
• Good written and spoken English.
• Experience working in international, cross-functional engineering teams.

Candidate Profile

The successful candidate should be a hands-on mechanical design engineer with strong 3D CAD modelling skills, sound engineering judgement and experience working within structured automotive development and release processes.

Recruiter Screening Priorities

1. Confirm at least 5 years of Siemens NX 11/NX 12 experience.
2. Verify hands-on plastic part and die-cast component design.
3. Assess practical GD&T and drawing creation experience.
4. Confirm Teamcenter knowledge and exposure to release workflows.
5. Establish automotive electronics experience and availability for the Kraków assignment.

Recruitment priority: Candidates must demonstrate the mandatory technical requirements. CATIA or SolidWorks experience alone should not be treated as a substitute for the required Siemens NX experience.
