Job Summary:
The Powertrain Product Engineer I role ( located in Allen Park, MI) will be responsible for component and sub-system design & release of powertrain hardware.  Powertrain functional responsibilities may vary on an individual project basis, but typical assignments may include:

• Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) components and sub-systems for gasoline, diesel, or gaseous fuel applications
• Air Induction & Filtration
• 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)

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
• Manage CAE resources to analytically validate designs
• Develop & execute hardware test plans to validate function while maintaining relevant DVP&R documentation:

               o Process data
               o Document test results
               o 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
• Have a willingness to switch disciplines as needed, as this is critical for success and longevity in this role

To be considered a Powertrain Product Engineer I, you will need:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related degree
• At least six months of automotive powertrain experience 
• High mechanical aptitude, working knowledge of generic product development tasks from inception to production and basic understanding of all powertrain subsystems:
  • IC engines
  • Air Induction & Filtration
  • Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems
  • Fuel Systems (gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuels such as CNG & LPG)
  • Powertrain Thermal Systems (engine cooling and HVAC)
• Ability to read and interpret technical prints and assembly instructions and working knowledge of GD&T and familiarity with dFMEA and DVP&R documents
• Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication, critical thinking, and problem- solving skills
• Ability to work both independently and in team settings while possibly handling multiple assignments simultaneously
• MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint proficiency

A successful candidate may also have:

• Functional familiarity with multiple powertrain systems (internal combustion engines, air induction incl. turbocharger/supercharger boosting, exhaust, fuel)
• Experience with motorsports
• Knowledge of internal combustion engine principles and mechanics
• Electric vehicle experience
• Ability to handle new, and sometimes unfamiliar technical assignments with minimal guidance
• Strong understanding of prototype, production assembly and manufacturing processes, and production fabrication and machining methodologies
• Basic 3D CAD software capabilities (to be able to generate initial basic design concepts/sketches).
• Prior experience with OEM automotive, military, commercial truck, or agricultural powertrain engineering systems and processes (co-op or full-time)
