Body Design Engineer (Upper Body Design, Upper Body Advanced Development) (General Level: Assistant Manager/Manager/Staff)

Main Tasks

Depending on your experience and aptitude, you will be responsible for one of the following. This work allows you to experience the excitement of vehicle body development, from collaborating with designers to formulating specifications and performing hands-on design.

• Body Parts Design (Upper Body Area)

You will be responsible for designing body frame components, taking charge of specific vehicle models and parts. You will handle everything from requirement definition and specification formulation (shape, performance, cost) to parts design and simple CAE analysis. Additionally, depending on the theme, you will be involved in parts development with suppliers for glass, sunroofs, fiber materials, resins, etc.

• Upper Body Related Advanced Development

For future next-generation EV models, you will be responsible for attractive advanced technology development, including the incorporation of new body structures and mechatronic mechanisms, and the application of new materials such as aluminum and carbon. This involves collaboration not only with internal departments but also with suppliers. Developers will also be consistently involved when advanced development themes are reflected in vehicle application development.
