Overview

• Develop a custom assembly jig to improve precision, repeatability and ergonomics in a manual assembly process.
• Project within Department: Methods. Number of trainees: 1.

What you will do

• Conceive and detail the jig concept using CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor or similar).
• Produce detailed 3D models, manufacturing drawings and a Bill of Materials ready for prototyping.
• Build and/or supervise prototype manufacturing using appropriate processes (machining, 3D printing, sheet metal).
• Validate the jig through hands-on tests: measure repeatability, precision and ergonomic improvements in the target assembly operation.

Required expertise and skills

• Understanding of mechanical design fundamentals (mechanisms, tolerancing, fit and assembly principles).
• Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor or similar) for part and assembly modeling.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes: machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication and basic fixture-making techniques.

Validation and deliverables

• Deliver CAD files, manufacturing drawings and a documented Bill of Materials.
• Provide a validation report including test methods, measurement results (precision and repeatability), and ergonomic assessment.
• Recommend adjustments and a production-ready design based on test feedback.

Application

• To apply, send your CV and a brief cover note to hr@bakomotors.com.
• Use the subject line: "Application — 20 Design and Validation of an Assembly Jig PFE".
