Position Overview: Location: Chennai (REHQ / Vallam) Position Title: EV
- Optical Design Engineer
- Automotive Lighting system Reports to: Lead Function: EV Technical What we need: Exp: Minimum 3-7 Years of experience in Optical Design for Automotive Lighting system Qualification: BTech / BE / Mechanical/ EEE/ECE/Production/Automobile engineering Industry Preference: Tier 1 and OEM with Lighting design experience Technical Skills:
- Experience in Optical design for Lighting system is mandatory
- Proficiency in CAD software (Creo, CATIA, Solid Works).
- Proficiency in GD&T;, Tolerance stack-up.
- Experience with optical simulation software (e.g., Light Tools, Speos, Zemax).
- Knowledge of vehicle electrical systems and communication protocols (CAN, LIN).
- Understanding of thermal management principles for electronics What you'll do: A Optical Lighting System Design Engineer is responsible for the full lifecycle design, development, and integration of a vehicle's lighting systems. This includes headlights, taillights, and signalling lights, ensuring they meet safety, performance, and aesthetic requirements. Performance & Safety: Conduct optical simulations and analyses to ensure the lighting meets legal and safety standards (e.g., DOT, ECE, AIS regulations). Evaluate light distribution, intensity, and beam patterns. Thermal Management: Analyze and design for the thermal management of LED and other light sources to ensure longevity and consistent performance. This often involves creating heat sinks and airflow paths. Electrical Integration: Collaborate with electrical engineers to integrate the lighting system with the vehicle's electrical architecture. This includes designing wiring harnesses, controllers, and communication protocols (e.g., CAN bus). Prototyping & Testing: Build and test prototypes to validate the design. Develop and execute comprehensive test plans (DVP&R;) for mechanical, electrical, and environmental validation. Supplier Management: Work with suppliers to source components, negotiate specifications, and ensure the quality of manufactured parts. Manufacturing Process: Work with suppliers to identify manufacturing process (DFM), Tooling feasibility, molding, casting etc. Problem-Solving: Diagnose and resolve issues that arise during the design, testing, and manufacturing phases.
