Product Engineer - Engineering Systems - Intermediate

Description

Design, develop, validate, and release air intake system components for internal combustion engine and hybrid electrified vehicles. Components include various types of low-pressure side clean and dirty side ducts, air cleaners, make-up air hoses, and other related items including resonators, air filters, and brackets. Components will be developed using best practices and methodologies such as CAE, System Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), and Design Validation Plans (DVP&R).

Candidate will be responsible for a set of air intake system components potentially any/all stages of vehicle development. This includes early packaging, development and execution of components to meet air intake system functional objectives. Activities include coordinating CAE, CAD design, prototyping, and testing – as well as the documentation of those activities. Depending on program, engineer may be required to support sourcing activities and/or once a supplier is sourced, coordinate and track supplier progress to ensure part maturity and milestones are met. Engineer also expected to support vehicle assembly and vehicle testing to resolve any issues related to air intake systems. Additional responsibilities include, but are not limited to supporting quality concerns, process change validation, and technical cost reductions after vehicle launch.
