Mechatronics Engineer - Closures

Own closures electromechanical hardware on new programs, from requirements and concept through supplier development, validation, and launch.

Analyze fleet data and returned hardware with Python or MATLAB to identify and prioritize issues on vehicles in service, then root cause them and drive corrective action with firmware, controls, manufacturing, and supplier partners.

Define and improve actuation behavior with firmware partners, including control strategy, detection and fault handling, and durability of the mechanism.

Model system dynamics to set requirements for motor and actuator selection, gear train sizing, duty cycle, and load cases, and build the benches, fixtures, and test automation to verify them.

Strong passion for multi-disciplinary engineering, ideally illustrated through personal hobbies/projects.

Experience with automotive closures: doors, liftgates, trunks, drop glass, or charge port mechanisms.

Experience with closed loop control systems, Simulink, or similar modeling software.

Experience taking hardware from prototype through production, including launch support.

Solid electronics fundamentals and embedded experience (ECUs, C/C++, PCB layout), comfortable debugging hardware interfaces such as ethernet, CAN, UART, LIN, I2C, or SPI.

Experience using vehicle fleet data, logs, or telemetry to drive issue prioritization and root cause.

Familiarity with 8D, DFMEA, PFMEA, and formal problem-solving methodologies.
