As a Design Release Engineer for Driveline, your primary responsibility will be to interpret customer requirements and translate them into detailed product specifications. You will be tasked with designing and developing driveline products that meet industry best practices and standards. Ensuring that all designs adhere to DFX requirements such as DFA (Design for Assembly) and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) will be crucial in this role. Conducting stakeholder meetings, developing DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), and prioritizing product safety, quality, and performance are key aspects of this position. You will lead cross-functional teams to achieve successful product releases by maintaining a systematic design and development approach and providing coaching to team members. Your core responsibilities will include facilitating seamless communication and documentation among stakeholders, maintaining comprehensive design documentation throughout the product lifecycle, supporting product validation activities, and collaborating with Quality, Manufacturing, and Procurement teams to ensure design requirements are met. Leveraging your knowledge of driveline components, local supplier bases, and competitor landscapes will be essential in informing design decisions and addressing any design, manufacturing, or field issues that may arise. To qualify for this role, you must hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or Mechatronics, along with 5-10 years of relevant experience in driveline design, development, and release. Strong skills in OBJ and IBJ design, boots, axles, splines, sizing tools for strength and durability predictions, field failure analysis, and leadership in managing cross-functional teams are required. Proficiency in DFX principles, documentation, communication, and stakeholder management is essential. Preferred skills for this position include knowledge of the local supplier base in driveline components and systems, as well as familiarity with competitor product landscapes within the driveline industry.,
The Materials Engineer will be responsible for developing, testing, and evaluating materials used in the manufacturing of Steering and Driveline products. This role involves ensuring that materials meet the required specifications and standards, conducting research to develop new materials, and improving existing materials. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that materials are used efficiently and effectively in the production process.
