General Information

Job Role The design release engineer will be responsible for the design, development, and validation of automatic transmissions, driveline systems and components.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in automotive engineering, with a focus on transmissions & driveline systems with strong analytical skills, and the ability to lead projects from concept to production.

It requires strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to seamlessly work with cross functional teams.

The candidate will leverage their expertise to optimize the designs and contribute to innovative solutions for improved performance and reliability.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of transmissions, driveline systems and components

Collaboration: Work closely with key stakeholder teams such as CAE, NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), durability, vehicle dynamics, packaging, and manufacturing to ensure seamless integration and performance.

DVP&R; Execution: Develop and execute validation plans, including component/system bench/vehicle testing, to verify the performance and durability of systems & components

Root Cause Analysis: Identify and resolve technical issues utilizing root cause analysis and problem-solving techniques.

Supplier Design Approvals: Drive approvals for supplier design selection through appropriate assessments and adherence to engineering best practices.

Best Practices and Documentation: Create, implement, and manage engineering best practices, including the development and maintenance of core DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DVP (Design Verification Plan) documents related to driveline systems.

Continuous Improvement: Proactively seek opportunities to improve designs, processes, and products through innovative solutions and best practices.

Technical Specification: Generating detailed system and sub-system technical specifications (SSTS/TTS) to ensure functional objectives are met. Manage these documents to ensure alignment of requirements with supplier base.

Mentoring: Mentor and provide technical direction to other engineers

Total Warranty Cost Reduction: Identify areas of improvement to reduce total warranty costs and propose technical solutions.

Presentation Skills: Prepare and present technical reports, design reviews, and project updates to stakeholders.
