Vehicle Glass Integration DRE; NX​/Teamcenter

Vehicle Glass Integration DRE (NX/Teamcenter)

Do you thrive at the intersection of design release, CAD rigor, and OEM collaboration?

Is this you?

• You’re fluent in Unigraphics/NX, comfortable in Teamcenter, and unfazed by complex GD&T.
• You can lead DFMEA and design reviews that result in crisp decisions and clean actions.
• You enjoy negotiating specs and tolerances with OEMs and translating them into releasable data.
• You switch contexts easily: one day on a plant floor, the next at an OEM build event, then back at a test facility validating performance.

• Own DRE responsibilities for fixed glass and door glass systems, applying Carlex and OEM design guidelines.
• Drive programs from SOR award through launch and ongoing maintenance, coordinating internal/external stakeholders.
• Create and release full-solid CAD models and 2D/3D datasets; approve designer outputs for assemblies and components.
• Lead DFMEA and structured design reviews; document and present outcomes to the program team, OEM, and internal CFT.
• Serve as the technical conduit among Carlex plants, suppliers, and the OEM customer.
• Negotiate technical specifications, tolerance schemes, and alternative design proposals with OEM engineering.
• Support prototyping at glass, value-add, and component facilities; support pre-production and production builds at OEM sites.
• Provide on-site support at OEM facilities, off-site design locations, designated test centers, and vehicle assembly plants.
• Lead PDTs with OEM partners and internally with Program Management.

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Design/Engineering.
• 5+ years in automotive product development; glazing experience is a plus.
• 5+ years in automotive product design and GD&T using CAD tools (Unigraphics/NX required; CATIA a plus).
• Background with major automotive OEMs preferred;
  Teamcenter exposure is a plus.
• Previous experience with General Motors design and engineering release systems.

• Advanced/intermediate Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Project, PowerPoint).
• Hands‑on problem solver with strong analytical chops.
• Clear communicator and collaborative teammate who finds common ground fast.
• Dependable, driven, and aligned with Carlex values:
  Safety, Customer Focused, Teamwork, Excellence, Trust.
