Electrical EEHD Design & Release Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Design & Release (D&R) Engineer to join our team in Toluca. In this hybrid role, you will take ownership of the design, development, validation, and release of Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) and wiring harness assemblies from concept through production launch. You will act as the technical liaison between product engineering, manufacturing plants, and Tier-1 suppliers, ensuring that all wiring components meet rigorous functional, packaging, quality, and cost requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Development: Lead the 2D schematic creation and 3D routing for vehicle wiring harnesses, connectors, terminals, and power distribution components.
• Engineering Release: Manage the complete release process of EDS components into production using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and Bill of Materials (BOM) management.
• Change Management: Drive Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Management (ECM) processes, managing part number updates, plant design issues, and supplier change requests.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with packaging, advanced manufacturing, safety, and vehicle integration teams to ensure routing feasibility and resolve assembly plant issues.
• Validation & Quality: Support validation testing, teardown analysis, and root-cause investigations for pre-production builds and warranty issues. Develop and execute DVP&R and DFMEA documentation.
• Cost & Manufacturability: Work directly with suppliers on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives and cost-reduction opportunities without sacrificing component quality.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience: A minimum of 5 years of proven, direct experience in automotive wiring harness design and release.
• Language: Advanced English proficiency (written and spoken) to effectively negotiate, present technical data, and collaborate with global teams and customers.
• Technical Knowledge: Expert-level understanding of vehicle electrical architecture, grounding systems, wire sizing, and power distribution.
• Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to independently analyze complex engineering problems, define strategic options, and convert them into implementable actions.

Preferred Skills

• Software Stack: High proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (Siemens NX or CATIA V5/V6) and 2D harness tools (Mentor Graphics / Capital XC / Vesys).
• System Tools: Strong working knowledge of Teamcenter or similar PLM software.
• Automotive Standards: Advanced familiarity with APQP, PPAP, and GPDS milestones.
• Advanced Technologies: Proven experience with High-Voltage (HV) wiring systems for hybrid/electric vehicles, or deep knowledge of CAN/LIN communications.
