Exhaust & aftertreatment systems (pipe & muffler, catalysts, isolation, etc.)
Fuel systems (storage / supply) for gasoline, diesel, or gaseous fuel (CNG, LPG) applications
Powertrain thermal systems (engine cooling and HVAC)
EV propulsion systems and power electronics hardware
As a Powertrain Product Engineer I, you will:
Apply relevant engineering analysis to create new component & subsystem designs to meet customer requirements
Work with CAD resources to develop 3D models and 2D prints
Coordinate with CAE resources to analytically validate designs
Develop & execute hardware test plans to validate function while maintaining relevant DVP&R documentation:
Process data
Document test results
Report on status both internally as well as externally to customers
Interface and coordinate with suppliers to deliver both prototype parts and production solutions
Support prototype and pre-production build events
Support production launch for responsible components/systems
