Lead ADAS Mechanics Engineer – Autonomous & Commercial Mobility

About the role

The Mechanics Lead Engineer (MELE) is end‑to‑end responsible for activities in the Mechanics discipline, including releasing the technical maturity of the mechanical design. He/she leads mechanical development and engineering test activities from planning through integration to final validation.

Key responsibilities

• Plans, manages and drives all mechanics activities according to customer/internal milestones, required scope and quality.
• Manages and drives the Mechanics team to achieve project goals in scope, timing and quality.
• Leads mechanics‑relevant requirements engineering from initial analysis through test execution.
• Tracks optimization of new/existing designs to improve cost and manufacturability (design‑to‑cost).
• Ensures on‑time availability of mechanics components for builds.
• Leads issue resolution for mechanics, including planning, monitoring, driving closure and ensuring successful execution.
• Ensures mechanics test execution according to project and process requirements.
• Monitors and reports status within the project team and drives on‑time execution.
• Prepares and performs mechanics releases, ensuring all necessary activities are performed and required release documents are available for final release.

Required profile

• Bachelor or above degree in mechanical engineering or related field.
• 7+ years of hands‑on experience in mechanical design.
• Experience with packaging studies and vehicle integration constraints.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (CATIA V5, V6).
• Strong understanding of automotive standards and requirements.
• Good problem‑solving skills and ability to support prototype and mass‑production phases.
• Experience in ADAS component (camera, radar, USS) design is preferred.
• Fluent in English (written and verbal).
