Virtual Prototype Design information

What is the difference between Virtual Prototype Design vs CAD Designer?

AspectVirtual Prototype DesignCAD Designer
Primary FocusCreating digital, functional prototypes of products or systemsDeveloping detailed 2D/3D technical drawings and models
Tools & SoftwareSimulation software, 3D modeling, virtual testing toolsCAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA
Work EnvironmentProduct development teams, engineering labs, virtual simulation platformsDesign offices, engineering departments, manufacturing firms
Required CredentialsEngineering background, CAD knowledge, simulation skillsDesign or engineering degree, CAD certification

Virtual Prototype Design focuses on creating digital, functional models for testing and validation, often using simulation tools. CAD Designers primarily develop detailed technical drawings and 3D models for manufacturing. While both roles require CAD skills and engineering knowledge, Virtual Prototype Design emphasizes virtual testing and simulation, whereas CAD Design centers on detailed documentation and design creation.

Job description

Job Description The Body Sealing Component Engineer will be responsible for the engineering, design, development, timing and production release of Body components. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Design and development of automotive Closures sealing systems from a blank page into production. Design with excellence at system and component level with great attention to every detail creating optimized for performance, size, weight, durability, and cost.

Work closely with both internal teams and external suppliers using creativity and teamwork to integrate multiple systems in the most efficient way possible. Work closely with other stake owners and attribute owners across the company such as Vehicle Safety, Vehicle Dynamics, NVH, Durability, Manufacturing, Design Studio, etc. to create world class designs.

Collaboration with cross functional teams such as CAE by interpreting and using analysis results to guide and evolve the design. Collaboration with manufacturing to ensure efficient process sequence and build quality. Cross functionally works with Manufacturing, Design and Product Development as well as with Purchasing, Supplier Quality, Stamping and Suppliers on items such as tool buy-offs and secondary component changes.

Ability to create testing plan and conduct / coordinate physical tests to prove out design concepts and ensure performance targets are being achieved. Perform detailed analysis of section properties, materials, and manufacturing processes through benchmarking activities to understand competitiveness of designs. Coordinate virtual engineering and physical validation testing activities for your designs.

Coordinate and communicate with interfacing suppliers. Effectively provide direction to others and negotiate a balanced solution. Coordinate virtual engineering and physical validation testing activities for your designs.

Determine required tolerances using GD&T. Travel domestically and internationally as required. Requirements: Ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination.

Candidates should have demonstrated the ability to learn quickly and work effectively in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment and be excellent at multi-tasking. Qualifications: 5+ years of expertise in automotive Closures sealing systems at OEM or supplier desired. Experience working with Class A surface data.

Experience in prototype assembly and production assembly with the willingness to assemble your own parts. Experience in technology, system, and supplier selection. Experience in full life cycle development from concept to prototype to full production.

Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent from ABET accredited institution or equivalent closures automotive experience Advantageous: Knowledge of manufacturing processes applicable for Closures sealing such as extrusions, moldings, stampings, coatings, etc. Proof of excellence in your past position, while demonstrating profound creativity in resolving mechanical design problems. Ability to effectively prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment is crucial.

Detail oriented personality with a determined problem-solving attitude using an Engineering first principles approach. Design release engineering experience including engineering change management and project management experiences. Proven 3D CAD skills, proficient with NX/CATIA V5/V6 or similar software (desired to do it) Solid track record of successful system level integration.
