Are you ready to be part of our global team to keep the world moving?

Our organization is seeking a ''Fixture Design Engineer'' to take part in the design and development of assembly and production fixtures, tools, and mechanisms used in bus manufacturing.
This position will be based in Istanbul and will require frequent travel to Sakarya production facilities for coordination, commissioning, and validation activities.

In this role, you will be responsible for creating innovative fixture and tooling concepts using NX, performing structural analysis, and ensuring manufacturability and functionality in line with production needs. You will collaborate closely with production, process engineering, and quality teams to deliver reliable and ergonomic fixture solutions that support efficient manufacturing.

What You Can Expect:

• Design and develop assembly and welding fixtures, gauges, and handling devices for bus body and component manufacturing.
• Create 3D CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings in NX, ensuring design quality and compliance with internal standards.
• Apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) principles to ensure precise fit, alignment, and interchangeability of parts and fixture elements according to ASME Y14.5 / ISO standards.
• Perform structural and mechanical feasibility analyses (strength, stiffness, ergonomics, safety).
• Collaborate with production and process engineering teams in Sakarya to optimize fixture concepts for manufacturability, cost, and maintainability.
• Participate in prototype builds, on-site testing, and commissioning activities at the production plant.
• Manage design documentation, BOMs, and engineering changes in coordination with R&D standards.
• Communicate design concepts and technical solutions effectively within R&D and cross-functional teams.
• Ensure compliance with company safety, ergonomics, and quality standards during the design and implementation phase.
• Support internal or external manufacturing of fixtures through design clarification, follow-up, and technical validation.
• Continuously improve fixture design methodologies and contribute to standardization of tooling practices.

That's Why You Are a Match:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or related fields.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in fixture, jig, die, or mechanism design and manufacturing.
• Proficiency in NX (Part Design, Assembly, Drafting, and DMU modules).
•  Strong understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and its application in fixture and component design.
• Knowledge of mechanical systems, dynamics, materials, and manufacturing processes (machining, welding, sheet metal).
• Experience with FEA or strength analysis tools is a plus.
• Knowledge of industrial safety, ergonomics, and technical drawing standards.
• Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate between R&D and production teams.
• Fluent English (written and spoken); German is an asset.
• Willingness to travel frequently to Sakarya.
