    Description

    Are you an experienced Lead Engineer - Tailgate and Closure Systems? Are you passionate about design from concept to completion? Are you looking for a role within a leading automotive manufacturer with exciting growth plans over the next 2 years.

    Major Recruitment, in partnership with Polytec Group, are looking to recruit a Lead Engineer - Tailgate and Closure Systems on a permanent basis to join the team on a hybrid basis with a minimum 2 days on site.

    As a Lead Engineer Tailgate and Closure Systems you will be responsible for leading the design and development of Tailgate and Closures systems at Polytec UK.

    The role will require experience in developing Closures systems in a variety of materials including SMC.

    Based on our customers requirements you will be responsible for approving the initial concept layout to ensure the assembly meets the stiffness and dynamic loading conditions set out in the test plan.

    While developing the concept layout it will be necessary to work with the manufacturing team to understand the optimum assembly process that can be achieved within the current manufacturing constraints and the production tooling engineers to ensure the single parts can be formed while meeting tough internal cost and weight targets.

    This will be a leadership role but based on resources requirements it will be necessary to own your own project work ensuring a controlled production release to meet the project requirements, whilst ensuring your team also plan and meet the production release dates.

    Key Responsibilities as a Lead Engineer - Tailgate and Closure Systems:
    Ensure you work with the Polytec PEP Process, meeting the Gateway deliverables on time.
    Provide resource plans to deliver the customer requirements in the RFQ.

    Ensure the development of 'World Class' Closures systems based on benchmark data, latest design innovation and CAE techniques.
    Lead and manage the system DFMEA's and support with the creation of the Test and Validation plan.
    Develop the design to ensure it addresses all the failure modes highlighted in the DFMEA.

    Provide technical support to your team when required and challenge the development process to ensure the delivery of 'World Class' Closures Systems.

    Work with the project team members to deliver a cross functional development process where the production release has been reviewed and approved cross functionally before the release date - including 2D drawings and tolerances where required.

    Plan out the Prototype and Production Releases and ensure the dates are kept.
    Use the Test and Validation plan as verification of the engineering design and not as a development phase.
    Skills required as a Lead Engineer - Tailgate and Closure Systems:
    Educated to degree level (preferably Masters) in a relevant engineering discipline or equivalent NVQ Level 7 qualification.
    Fellow or Chartered Member of an industry related Professional Body.
    Minimum of 10 years working in business supporting a team of around 40 personnel
    Experience in materials, Tailgate closure systems.
    Working in cross-functional teams / matrix organisations.
    Ability to add value, reduce costs and make business improvements.
    Proven project management and supplier experience.
    Experience of operating and influencing at a strategic level.
    Track record of successfully managing multiple large-scale projects.
    Excellent level of detail, numeracy & accuracy.
