United States onlyWe are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in automotive mechanical engineering, vehicle design, manufacturing engineering, CAE/CAD workflows, automotive quality systems, and structured engineering documentation.
This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured automotive engineering review, vehicle and subsystem documentation, manufacturing workflow analysis, quality documentation, simulation review, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their automotive engineering expertise to review realistic technical scenarios, evaluate engineering requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based automotive workflow tasks.
Key Responsibilities
Professionals in this role may contribute to:
Vehicle Design & Mechanical Engineering Review
- Review automotive engineering scenarios involving vehicle design, subsystem design, body, chassis, interior, powertrain, thermal systems, EV systems, battery components, or ADAS-related engineering workflows
- Evaluate design review materials against source documentation, technical requirements, tolerance expectations, and expected engineering outcomes
- Support structured review of benchmarking decks, CAD-related materials, design documentation, test reports, and vehicle engineering workspaces
- Identify missing assumptions, documentation gaps, design inconsistencies, and expected automotive engineering review outcomes
CAE, Simulation & Manufacturing Workflow Support
- Review CAE, CAD, and simulation scenarios involving structural analysis, NVH, CFD, durability, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing feasibility
- Evaluate manufacturing engineering materials involving stamping, body-in-white, assembly, paint, process documentation, and production workflows
- Support structured review of materials connected to ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, SAP S/4HANA, or similar automotive engineering systems
- Prepare clear written explanations for automotive engineering decisions based on source materials and verifiable technical criteria
Automotive Quality & Program Documentation
- Review automotive quality scenarios involving DFMEA, PFMEA, APQP, PPAP packages, IATF 16949 documentation, test reports, and quality records
- Evaluate quality and program materials against documented requirements, engineering standards, test expectations, and manufacturing controls
- Support structured review of tolerance analyses, validation reports, quality documentation, design reviews, and cross-functional engineering records
- Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work
Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
- 3+ years of experience in automotive mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, subsystem design, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, CAE/CAD, simulation, automotive quality, EV engineering, battery engineering, ADAS engineering, or related technical roles
