Additional responsibilities may include assisting with vehicle integration, engine mounting, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) improvements. The ideal candidate will have an understanding of engineering design principles and a working knowledge of manufacturing and quality processes related to these systems.

• Establish specifications and design requirements for new or revised designs for engines and components
• Design and analyze layouts, components, and detail drawings and apply drawing tolerances using spec limits and GD&T and perform accurate tolerance stack-up analyses.
• Ensure completeness and accuracy of all CAD work and maintain well-organized records. Utilize 3D modeling software (Siemens NX) to produce models and drawings, and/or work with CAD designers to produce 3D models and drawings of new and revised designs.
• Perform analysis and calculations for engine component designs using computer-based analysis and simulation techniques which may include FEA, CFD, and dynamic simulation tools.
• Provide efficient and timely completion of all drawings, calculations, bills of materials, and cost objectives according to project schedules.
• Develop and oversee prototyping plans for new parts and engines and work in cross functional teams to procure and fabricate prototype parts in a timely manner.
• Oversee the assembly of prototype parts and engines to ensure accurate build of products.
• Create appropriate test and validation plans for new and revised designs and monitor to ensure performance that meets or exceed the design requirements.
• Assist in the development and accuracy of Bills of Material (BOMs) and Engineering Change Notice (ECNs).
• Support the development of service manuals and part books.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s of Science in Engineering required
• 2 or more years of relevant experience working with engines and powertrain related components.
• Unigraphics NX, Team Center, SAP and ANSYS preferred
