Part Time Automotive Mechanical Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in automotive mechanical engineering, vehicle design, manufacturing engineering, CAE/CAD workflows, automotive quality systems, and structured engineering documentation.

This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured automotive engineering review, vehicle and subsystem documentation, manufacturing workflow analysis, quality documentation, simulation review, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their automotive engineering expertise to review realistic technical scenarios, evaluate engineering requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based automotive workflow tasks.

Key Responsibilities

Professionals in this role may contribute to:

Vehicle Design & Mechanical Engineering Review

• Review automotive engineering scenarios involving vehicle design, subsystem design, body, chassis, interior, powertrain, thermal systems, EV systems, battery components, or ADAS-related engineering workflows
• Evaluate design review materials against source documentation, technical requirements, tolerance expectations, and expected engineering outcomes
• Support structured review of benchmarking decks, CAD-related materials, design documentation, test reports, and vehicle engineering workspaces
• Identify missing assumptions, documentation gaps, design inconsistencies, and expected automotive engineering review outcomes

CAE, Simulation & Manufacturing Workflow Support

• Review CAE, CAD, and simulation scenarios involving structural analysis, NVH, CFD, durability, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing feasibility
• Evaluate manufacturing engineering materials involving stamping, body-in-white, assembly, paint, process documentation, and production workflows
• Support structured review of materials connected to ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, SAP S/4HANA, or similar automotive engineering systems
• Prepare clear written explanations for automotive engineering decisions based on source materials and verifiable technical criteria

Automotive Quality & Program Documentation

• Review automotive quality scenarios involving DFMEA, PFMEA, APQP, PPAP packages, IATF 16949 documentation, test reports, and quality records
• Evaluate quality and program materials against documented requirements, engineering standards, test expectations, and manufacturing controls
• Support structured review of tolerance analyses, validation reports, quality documentation, design reviews, and cross-functional engineering records
• Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• 3+ years of experience in automotive mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, subsystem design, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, CAE/CAD, simulation, automotive quality, EV engineering, battery engineering, ADAS engineering, or related technical roles
• Experience in automotive OEM, Tier-1 supplier, mobility, transportation manufacturing, or related vehicle engineering environments
• Background in one or more areas such as body, chassis, interior, powertrain, thermal systems, structural analysis, NVH, CFD, durability, stamping, body-in-white, assembly, paint, APQP, PPAP, DFMEA, PFMEA, EV, battery, or ADAS workflows
• Familiarity with tools and systems such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, SAP S/4HANA, CAD/CAE platforms, PLM tools, or similar automotive engineering systems
• Comfort reading and preparing automotive artifacts such as design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA documents, PPAP packages, tolerance analyses, benchmarking decks, test reports, quality records, and technical summaries
• Strong analytical thinking and written communication skills
• Ability to translate automotive engineering workflows into clear, structured task documentation

Educational Background

• Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, systems engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field is helpful
• Equivalent practical experience in automotive engineering, vehicle design, manufacturing workflows, automotive quality, simulation, or technical documentation review is also highly relevant

Nice to Have

• Experience at an automotive OEM, Tier-1 supplier, vehicle systems company, EV company, or automotive manufacturing organization
• Familiarity with IATF 16949, APQP, PPAP, DFMEA, PFMEA, CAD/CAE, tolerance analysis, manufacturing transfer, validation testing, or program launch workflows
• Experience preparing or reviewing design review decks, tolerance analyses, DFMEA/PFMEA files, PPAP packages, benchmarking materials, validation reports, or automotive quality documentation
• Familiarity with EV, battery, ADAS, thermal systems, powertrain, chassis, interior, body engineering, or manufacturing process development
• Strong attention to detail in technical, manufacturing-heavy, and documentation-heavy automotive environments

Why This Opportunity

• Apply automotive mechanical engineering expertise to structured remote project work
• Contribute to high-quality automotive workflow review, design documentation, simulation assessment, and manufacturing scenario development
• Work on flexible, project-based assignments aligned with your automotive background
• Use your engineering judgment in a focused, detail-oriented technical environment
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Part-time commitment depending on project availability
• Competitive rates between $50–$75 per hour depending on expertise
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
