Design Release Engineer - Driveline

1. Responsible for the complete design and product delivery against technical requirements for the assigned components and products. Components and products may be complex, or include new technology, requiring related and relevant prior experience.
   
2. Manages and tracks supplier product engineering activities and deliverables, including supplier test plans and test execution.
   
3. Prepares product engineering work plans in accordance with program and project timing and milestones.
   
4. Completes and documents advanced analysis and simulation of actuation mechanisms, including electro-mechanical and servo-hydraulic subsystems.
   
5. Executes engineering deliverables in adherence to technical infrastructure and product development process deliverables, reviews, sign-offs, and report-outs, including:
   

• Develops technical requirements for components and subsystems of driveline & axles including purchased assemblies.
  
• Completes all required technical source package documentation to support supplier quotes
  
• Evaluates designs to the engineering best practice documents and completes supplier design reviews
  
• Captures all lessons learned, and ensures timely execution of all calculations, analysis, and simulation in alignment with test plans and requirements
  
• Develops DFMEAs and evaluates designs for failure modes robustness
  
• Develops and executes component and subsystem DVP&R plans to validate all aspects of new designs and design changes, including DRBTR.
  
• Supports the development of the system DVP&Rs
  
• Develops tools, test procedures and acceptance criteria for driveline & axles, components, sub-assemblies and purchased assemblies
  
• Ensures transfer functions and physics-based analysis are defined and documented for all actuation subsystems and components.
