Mechanical Design Engineer for Seats

Job description

What to expect: Create fully constructed 2D and 3D CAD models for all seat variants (1st class, 2nd class, foldable/tip‑up, lounge). Maintain native CREO models, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project interfaces (carbody, C‑rail, air duct installation space). Ensure CAD models are free of critical errors, including modeling inconsistencies or open solids. Design key components including: seat structure & cantilever systems, armrests/handrails, back panels & trims, upholstery, foam, and coverings (trim development). Develop kinematics for adjustable and folding mechanisms, ensuring functional chains are validated. Apply correct material specifications (e.g., CR780Y980T-CP, CR420LA, CR380LA). Design joining solutions using MAG welding, screwing, and adhesive bonding according to relevant standards. Incorporate feedback from prototype builders, customers and series suppliers. Participate in technical review rounds led by the OEM. Integrate manufacturability insights (mold‑flow results, tooling constraints, welding feasibility. What you bring along: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Industrial Design, or related field. Proven experience in CAD design, ideally using PTC Creo for metal structures and trim parts. Knowledge of seat design, railway or automotive interiors, or other safety‑critical mechanical systems. Strong understanding of: Sheet metal design and high‑strength steel materials (e.g., CR-series steels). Joining technologies (MAG welding, bolting, industrial adhesives) _ | PowerPoint] Kinematic systems, linkages, and movement mechanisms. Trim & foam development for upholstery. Ability to interpret and apply engineering standards (DIN EN 15085‑5, DIN EN 17460). We are Bertrandt: an independent, international development service provider with long years of automotive expertise. We create technological solutions for our customers at any stage of the product development process with a focus on hot topics such as digitalization, e-mobility and autonomous systems, largely for the automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering sectors.
