CatiaV5/V6 Mechanical Interiors Lead Engineer (MLE)

Responsibilities:

Interior Development

• Define and agree on inputs and technical constraints with train-level stakeholders.
• Lead the mechanical design and integration activities for “make” parts and ensure robust interface management for “buy” parts.
• Drive installation deliverables, including specifications, 3D/2D design, and validation plans.
• Contribute to first train mounting reviews, ensuring design maturity and supporting production readiness.

Design & Integration Leadership

• Ensure that the installation design meets functional, safety, and maintainability requirements.
• Coordinate with engineering, industrialization, and production teams to validate manufacturability and ease of assembly.
• Oversee design progress, technical risk mitigation, and configuration management for assigned scope.
• Support design reviews, prototype validation, and problem resolution activities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the primary contact for technical discussions between internal engineering teams and external suppliers.
• Facilitate communication between design, production, and quality stakeholders to ensure alignment and issue resolution.
• Promote continuous improvement through lessons learned and feedback integration.

Competencies & Skills:

Technical:

• Strong experience in sheet metal design and metallic materials.
• Good knowledge of manufacturing and assembly processes (e.g., welding, bolting, fastening).
• Familiarity with CAD and PLM tools (e.g., CATIA V5, 3D Experience, ENOVIA, or similar systems).
• Solid understanding of mechanical integration principles and industrial installation processes.
• Strong understanding of design-to-manufacture processes and mechanical validation methods
• English proficiency at an operational level (reading, writing, and technical communication).

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Production, or Systems Engineering.
• Minimum 10+ years of experience in mechanical design and installation development, preferably within the railway, aerospace, or industrial sectors.
• Proven experience leading integration activities, supplier coordination, and first train/first article installation reviews.
