We are seeking a highly capable Product Engineer – Drivetrain System Integration to support the development of advanced hybrid and electrified drivetrain products. In this role, you will be responsible for system-level integration, technical coordination, and product engineering of advanced drivetrain subsystems, including clutch modules, chain drives, and related electromechanical systems.
This position sits at the intersection of mechanical, electronics, controls, and system engineering, and requires a strong ability to translate vehicle- and system-level requirements into robust, manufacturable product solutions. You will work closely with global cross‑functional teams to ensure technical alignment, integration robustness, and successful product delivery.Principal Accountabilities / Responsibilities
Ø Serve as system integration product engineer for advanced hybrid and electrified drivetrain products.
Ø Own system-level requirements decomposition and technical coordination for subsystems such as clutch modules, chain drives, actuators, sensors, and associated electronics.
Ø Lead the integration of mechanical, electronics, sensing, and control elements into a cohesive drivetrain solution.
Ø Act as the technical interface between component design teams (mechanical, electronics, software/controls) to ensure alignment on interfaces, performance, and constraints.
Ø Define and manage key system parameters, including functional performance, packaging, thermal behavior, NVH, durability, and reliability.
Ø Support system architecture definition and trade-off studies for advanced drivetrain concepts.
Ø Drive system-level DFMEA inputs and support risk identification, mitigation, and design robustness.
Ø Coordinate and support system-level validation activities, including DV/PV planning, test definition, and result assessment.
Ø Support prototype builds, vehicle or bench-level integration, issue troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
Ø Collaborate with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders on technical clarification, requirement alignment, and change management.
Ø Support industrialization and production ramp-up by ensuring system-level readiness and technical issue resolution.
