eMotor Concepts FMEA Lead

The Role:

The eMachine Concept FMEA Lead Engineer plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and safety of electric machine systems during the early stages of product development. This role focuses on identifying potential failure modes, assessing their impact on system performance, and implementing preventive measures before detailed design begins. By applying structured risk analysis methodologies, the engineer helps shape robust architectures for electric motors, ensuring they meet stringent automotive standards for quality, safety, and performance.

The purpose of this role is to ensure the delivery of the eMachine DFMEA, evaluating existing foundation DFMEAs from existing projects and introducing the new failure modes identified through the early development work.The CFMEA engineers will work in a cross-functional team including design, manufacturing, quality and safety, in a top-down approach with requirements and attributes cascaded from larger systems.

Area of Responsibility

Deliver the Concept FMEA for the electric machine as a system and its sub-components.

Agree the functional and physical interaction of the components within the eMachine and also the external interfaces.

System Design Specification prepare system requirements specification and developing functional designs, demonstrating how the system satisfies the defined customer requirements

System Integration Define system logical and physical architecture, Interface Control Document and a system integration plan.

Requirements and test cases authoring for both eMachine as a system and its sub-components.

Assist and contribute to the generation of targets and verification methods that are driven by Customer, Function Requirements and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Provide technical support and assistance across the Advanced eMachine team on topics relating to the integration and harmonisation of multiple interconnected components including issue resolution and objective data analysis

Follow guidance from Technical Specialists and Advanced Engineering on Attribute and Function Forward Strategies, including new Function Definition and Failure Mode Avoidance

Undertake any other work as directed by their line manager in connection with their job as may be requested

Key interactions: Advanced eMachine component and subcomponent design engineers; Advanced EDU system team; Advanced EDU integration team; Advanced Inverter team
