Design Release Engineer, Powercell Components The Design Release Engineer for Internal combustion Cranktrain components is responsible for the design, development, and technical leadership in the creation, validation, and release of these components for company vehicles. This includes pistons, piston rings, piston pins, connecting rods and piston cooling jets. The responsibilities include design and release of system components and/or specifying hardware requirements needed to meet program objectives.
The role involves driving the design through all phases of the product lifecycle, including design concept, sourcing support, engineering validation, and production release through PPAP (Production Part Approval Process). The role will include interaction and or leading activities with multiple teams including manufacturing, quality, design, validation testing, supplier direction and purchasing groups.
Responsibilities include but no limited to: Design & Development:
Lead the design of powercell components, ensuring alignment with vehicle and engine sub-system requirements.
Develop and refine concepts for Powercell cranktrain systems based on functional, safety, reliability, and performance requirements.
Support CAD modeling, FEA (Finite Element Analysis), and other design validation methods to ensure structural integrity and compliance with standards.
Collaborate with other engineering teams (engine calibration, engine testing, thermal, packaging, quality, manufacturing) to integrate components into the overall engine system.
Release & Program Management:
Manage design release activities from early concept through production, including the timely completion of applicable milestones such as B-Sample, C-Sample, PX0, X0, X1, X2, and X3.
Own the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) and Change Notices (CNs) for structural components.
Ensure all parts meet quality, cost, and timing requirements.
Drive the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) for lubrication systems components, ensuring compliance with all regulatory and customer specifications.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, suppliers, and quality, to ensure the successful release and implementation of designs.
Technical Guidance & Problem Solving:
Provide technical leadership support during the development and production stages to resolve design issues, material selection challenges, manufacturing restrictions, and process-related problems.
Lead DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and other risk assessment activities to ensure design robustness and mitigate potential issues.
Participate in the development of testing strategies for components, including engine dynamometer, vibration, fatigue and thermal testing.
Provide leadership, guidance, and problem-solving support for related hardware and extended team of engineers.
Requirements:
A minimum of a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited school or equivalent.
A minimum of 1-3 years of relevant experience working with engine components and systems design. Experience must be related to crankshafts, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, lubrication systems, oil consumption.
Experience can include some internships, Formula SAE, and race team support.
Understanding of Mechanics of Materials, NVH, Sealing systems, structural analysis, vibration, fastener basics, CAE Analysis, and GD&T.
Experience in selecting materials and manufacturing methods for mechanical components.
Ability to author system/component level requirements
Strong interpersonal communication, team/leadership skills/experience
Strong oral and written communication skills
Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
Preferred Requirements:
Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis engine systems engineering or similar.
Working experience in creation and execution of validation plans
Critical character traits to ensure success: Action Oriented, Dealing with Ambiguity, Customer Focus, Problem Solving.
Demonstrated leadership as a technical expert for Internal Combustion Engines cranktrain or Powercell systems.
Working experience with 3D cad programs, preferably Siemens NX
Familiarity with Company engine development processes.
Seniority level Associate
