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.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with suppliers to ensure design feasibility, cost competitiveness, and manufacturability of structural components. Collaborate with validation teams to define and implement validation testing, ensuring structural components meet functional and performance metrics. Partner with vehicle integration teams to ensure proper fitment, safety, and integration of components into the overall vehicle platform. Strong support and collaboration for engine manufacturing plant especially for crankshaft machining and manufacturing processes.
Documentation & Reporting
Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including design specifications, drawings, models, test plans, and validation reports. Ensure that all technical documentation is up-to-date and aligns with program timelines and PPAP requirements. Report on project status, timelines, and risk assessments to senior management and stakeholders. Report on component and system testing status and results for relevant components on a DVP&R. This includes tracking and analysis of tested engines to evaluate wear and function changes. Requirements:
Requirements
A minimum of a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited school or equivalent. A minimum of 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. 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.
