What employers look for in a Automotive Design / Engineering CV / resume

Automotive manufacturers and design service firms want to see which vehicle system you understand: BIW, trims, chassis, powertrain, or EV battery and motor. Highlight CATIA V5 or NX for surface and sheet metal design, plastic part design rules, DFMEA, and GD&T on drawings. EV roles value battery pack layout, thermal management, BMS basics and MATLAB or Simulink. Freshers should mention student vehicle competitions such as Baja or Formula Student, the subsystem they owned, and design calculations. Knowledge of homologation basics and AIS standards is an added advantage.
