Position’s Contributions to Work Group :

The e-Powertrain (ePt) Validation Planning Support Engineer works closely with the ePt system design team to understand the potential technical risks for the specific ePt configuration being evaluated. This role will tackle various tasks from collecting the risks that were identified in DFMEAs, sorting those risks from highest risk (highest RPN = likelihood of failure times the severity of the failure) to lowest risk, and helping to identify virtual simulation or physical test activities (bench, lab, or full machine) to optimally mitigate those risks between cost and time. This team member may be involved in various deliverables from the ePt validation planning team including: gathering system readiness summaries from component & sub-system teams, creating validation one-pager status slides for NPI Gateway reviews, managing "issue-lists" for various ePt programs, forecasting defects per unit, & creating pro-active reliability curves to predict ePt system performance & durability throughout its life.

Why this Role?

This role has significant influence on defining the detailed validation plan for each ePowertrain system. This role will have visibility to the ePowertrain System product managers as well as the Electrification & Energy Solutions validation leadership. This role will give the individual tremendous understand of all of the interactions within the ePowertrain system and all of the technical risks associated with them. This individual will also become very familiar with the many physics-based simulation methods as well as many of the bench, lab, and full machine tests that can be used to mitigate technical risks associated with an ePowertrain system.
