Insight Global • Long Beach, CA • 1h ago

Job Description

The Advanced EV Development - Vehicle Accessory Product Development Engineer is a hybrid design and product development role focused on taking vehicle accessories from early studio concepts through engineering release, supplier development, and launch. This role is not a pure CAD designer position, but instead sits between Design Release Engineer (DRE) and CAD Designer, with strong ownership of design intent, feasibility, DFM, supplier coordination, and structural performance.

The engineer works closely with studio design, core vehicle engineering, and suppliers to develop accessories such as roof cross bars, roof racks, tonneau/bed covers, and other exterior accessories, ensuring they meet functional, structural, aesthetic, cost, and manufacturing requirements. The role requires broad experience across multiple part @types and strong judgment from a production and contract perspective, balancing design vision with real-world manufacturing constraints.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
