Drive cradle‑to‑grave development of interior device components from concept to production.
Perform electrical design using Altium including PCB layout, component selection, packaging, and worst‑case analysis.
Create 3D mechanical designs using CAD tools such as SolidWorks.
Collaborate with studio to translate aesthetic intent into feasible engineering solutions.
Work closely with suppliers while keeping the majority of development in-house.
Conduct R&D, prototyping, and design investigations.
Document work in Jira and support integration with other vehicle systems.
Participate in white‑board design sessions, schematic reviews, and engineering problem‑solving.
Interface with numerous owners due to devices plugging into various interior structures.
