Qualifications

• Strong understanding of automotive drivetrain and mechanical transmission fundamentals.
• Proficiency with Romax and familiarity with Kisssoft, ANSYS and ADAMS.

Responsibilities

• Support end‑to‑end design, detailing, and validation of mechanical transmission components.
• Perform shaft and bearing sizing calculations.
• Analyze clutch torque capacity and wear.
• Evaluate chain tension, sprocket geometry, and drive efficiency.
• Develop and optimize clutch systems and durability evaluation.
• Design and validate drive chain and sprocket systems including tooth profiles and alignment.
• Review CAE/CFD/NVH and durability results and provide improvements.
• Support testing: gearbox endurance, clutch testing, chain–sprocket fatigue, shifting reliability.
• Participate in root‑cause analysis for gears, clutches, and shifting systems.
• Coordinate with manufacturing and suppliers for DFM/DFS compliance, material selection, and process feasibility.
• Support prototype builds and documentation including DFMEA, DRBFM, test reports.
