Design Team 3
Mixed-experience team handling OP20-and-under work including simple cam structures.
Process & Drawing Management
5–10 year process engineers owning DL/SE activity, drawing release and quality gate reviews.
Korea Headquarters
Busan-based sales, planning and management leading customer relationships and program intake.
Sales · Planning · Administration
Cross-border team coordinating Korean and Vietnamese operations end-to-end.
Career Distribution Across Design Teams
We build teams across three experience tiers so seniors mentor mid-career engineers and juniors grow into full-process capability.
10+ years
Lead engineers covering every BODY SIDE OTR operation plus DL/SE process design.
5–10 years
Engineers running the full BODY SIDE OTR process independently.
1–5 years
Engineers handling OP20-and-under operations including simple cam structures.
Engineering Tools & Practices
CATIA and THINK3 are our primary CAD platforms for design and delivery; we also convert and release designs in our customers' preferred CAD systems.
What Drives Us
Quality, on-time delivery, and customer satisfaction — the founding principles we apply to every project.
Precision
Stamping mold design demands accuracy; every drawing we release is reviewed for it.
On-Time Delivery
BODY SIDE OTR new design in 60 days, conversion in 45, review and data release in 15.
Innovation
We continuously evolve our CAD toolchain and simulation practice to stay ahead.
Trust
Long-term relationships built on transparent communication and consistent quality.
