Evaluate engine and system designs relative to performance and emissions.
Conduct system analysis using calculations to optimize engine/generator peak performance and reliability.
Interpret testing results and collaborate cross‑functionally through design reviews and technical discussions to guide product development.
Contribute to engine workflows and analysis best practices to improve group efficiency and accuracy.
Document project objectives, methods, and results using standardized reporting formats.
Apply data analysis techniques, including Matlab/Simulink or Python‑based scripting, and machine learning to support predictive modeling and performance forecasting.
Stay informed on relevant technologies, tools, and industry trends to support continuous improvement.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
Two or more years of relevant work experience.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Experience in Automotive, Development, or a related engineering discipline.
Hands‑on experience with engine and component design using Creo.
Experience in powertrain design and development/testing.
Hands‑on experience with engine calculations applied to engine design.
Experience in new IC engine design using Creo or equivalent.
Ability to create design for internal combustion engines, including cases, heads, valvetrain, rotating assembly, belt drives, exhaust and intake systems.
Develops, tests, and integrates complex components and evaluates overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety.
Designs, develops, executes, and evaluates product specifications, process validation plans, and testing for a variety of complex products and/or components.
Perform detail‑oriented work with a high degree of accuracy on multiple projects.
Good knowledge of internal combustion engine performance design and specification.
Analytical and problem‑solving skills, with a deep understanding of internal combustion engine design, operation, and testing.
Written and verbal communication skills to interpret and present complex simulation results to technical and non‑technical audiences.
Collaborate with internal manufacturing partners, contract manufacturers, designers, and product specialists to optimize advanced designs for performance.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands‑on experience in engine and system design.
Experience applying Python in internal combustion engine design.
Experience using calculations for cooling, oiling, intake, and exhaust system design.
Experience in FEA.
Comprehensive knowledge of internal combustion engines and effective design methods.
Experience with internal combustion engine performance development and specification.
Demonstrated written communication and presentation skills.
Ability to apply engineering knowledge to improve products, services and processes.
Data analysis and control/diagnostic feature creation skills.
Familiarity with systems engineering based problem solving.
Proven ability to work well with others as part of a diverse global team.
Physical Demands While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to talk and hear; and use hands to manipulate objects or controls. The employee is regularly required to stand and walk. On occasion the incumbent may be required to stoop, bend or reach above the shoulders. The employee must occasionally lift up to 25‑50 pounds. Specific conditions of this job are typical of frequent and continuous computer‑based work requiring periods of sitting, close vision and ability to adjust focus. Occasional travel.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
