We are looking for a Concept Design Lead to join our Automotive team in Bangalore.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare the geometry for manufacturing using technologies such as 3D printing, machining, CNC cutting, or manual construction.
Collaborate closely with ergonomists, designers, and model makers to ensure the proposed geometry allows for effective physical evaluation.
Manage design updates based on conceptual decisions, validation feedback, and changes in requirements.
Create basic technical documentation (simplified drawings, assembly instructions, parts sheets) when necessary for the model workshop.
Verify dimensional consistency between 3D models and reference data (H-point, accessibility criteria, enclosures, etc.).
Ensure deadlines are met and provide rapid solutions when the model requires accelerated iterations.
Prepare model evaluation scenarios according to design requirements and validation protocols.
Record observations, measurements, problems, and comments during the sessions.
Analyze the results and prepare ergonomic validation reports (conclusions, deviations, recommendations).
