Body Structure Architect

Lead early-phase body structure feasibility assessments for new vehicle concepts, major architecture changes, and advanced studiesEvaluate packaging, proportion, occupant, and structural concept proposals to determine technical viability and key tradeoffsPartner closely with studio, vehicle architecture, CAE, and manufacturing teams to align design intent with feasible body structure solutionsProvide expert guidance during concept reviews, integration reviews, and cross-functional workshops to surface risks, alternatives, and recommendations early in the development processDevelop and communicate structural feasibility strategies, including assumptions, risks, options, and recommended paths forward for leadership and program teamsInfluence body structure direction by balancing performance, package efficiency, manufacturability, investment, timing, and program complexityDrive cross-functional issue resolution by coordinating expert input from engineering disciplines and translating that input into actionable design guidanceSupport creation of coarse study math, feasibility criteria, and targeted assessments needed to mature concepts into credible program recommendationsRequirementsBachelor degree in Engineering, Math, Physics, or other relevant degree8 years of relevant engineering experience in automotive body structures, vehicle architecture, feasibility, packaging, or product developmentDeep understanding of body structure design principles, feasibility assessment methods, and cross-functional vehicle integrationStrong ability to evaluate early concepts with incomplete information and provide clear technical directionExperience working across design, CAE, manufacturing, and product engineering teamsStrong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to both engineering teams and leadershipDemonstrated ability to lead through influence as a senior technical expert without direct people-management responsibilityCore CompetenciesDemonstrates expertise in body structure design principles and feasibility assessment methods, with a strong ability to evaluate concepts and provide technical direction.
