Job Description

Our Client, an Automotive company, is looking for a Manufacturing Process Engineer II for their Portland¸ OR/Remote location.

Responsibilities:

Layout planning and development (core responsibility)
Layout planning and development
Create, develop, and maintain 2D/3D layout definitions for assigned routing content.
Generate routing layouts that reflect packaging constraints, interfaces, and installation intent.
Produce release-quality layout outputs and markups to support cross-functional reviews and downstream execution.
Layout reviews and change incorporation
Support layout/design reviews by preparing layouts, documenting constraints, and capturing action items.
Incorporate approved changes and maintain version/iteration clarity per company process.
Primary focus: LV battery cables / LV power net
LV power distribution routing support
Develop and/or validate routing paths for assigned LV battery cable and powernet segments.
Ensure routing meets packaging constraints and best practices (bend radius, clearances, heat exposure, abrasion/chafe prevention, water ingress risk, and service access).
Provide routing alternatives and trade studies when constraints or conflicts arise.
Clipping/retention/protection strategy (electrical)
Define and/or validate clipping strategy including clip selection guidance, locations, spacing, and orientation to control motion and prevent chafe.
Recommend protection solutions (convolute/sleeving, tape, edge protection, grommets) as needed.
Coordinate with bracket/fastener owners to ensure required provisions are incorporated.
Expanded support: all routing and clipping (electrical + fluids + other lines)
Routing and clipping technical support (cross-system)
Provide routing and retention support for additional content as assigned, including LV harness routing and fluid routing (e.g., hoses, tubes, coolant/air/other lines as applicable).
Ensure routing meets requirements for clearance, thermal exposure, dynamic movement, abrasion protection, drain paths, service access, and assembly sequence.
Shared clip/bracket strategy and standardization support
Identify opportunities to standardize clips, brackets, and retention features across systems (where allowed) to reduce complexity and improve manufacturability.
Support definition of clip maps/retention concepts and document assumptions and interfaces.
Manufacturing and build readiness
Manufacturing process and assembly feasibility
Evaluate install sequence feasibility (install path, operator ergonomics, tool access, error-proofing opportunities).
Identify manufacturing risks (misroute potential, excessive install force, rework likelihood) and propose countermeasures.
Cross-functional interface support
Coordinate technical interfaces with impacted teams (vehicle packaging, body, chassis, interior, thermal, EE architecture, grounding, manufacturing engineering).
Drive closure of interferences and missing provisions impacting routing/clipping and layout release readiness.
Build event support and issue resolution
Support prototype/PRS/build events as required (on-site or remote) to triage routing/clipping issues across electrical and fluid systems.
Document issues, suspected root cause, containment, and recommended corrective actions.
Support implementation and verification of fixes and update layouts/documentation accordingly.
PFMEA support (no DFMEA)
Provide technical inputs and support to PFMEA activities related to routing and retention failure modes (chafe, clip disengagement, misbuild, kink/abrasion leading to leaks, damage during service, corrosion/water exposure).
Recommend practical prevention and detection controls for high-risk items, aligned to manufacturing process realities.
Documentation and engineering evidence
Create/maintain technical artifacts as required (layouts, routing evidence, clip strategy summaries, open-issues lists, validation status).
Provide inputs to work instructions/visual aids where routing, clipping, and layout intent clarity is required.
Deliverables (Typical Outputs) Deliverables will vary by assignment but may include:
2D/3D layout packages and marked-up layouts (electrical and fluids) with constraints and assumptions
Routing/clipping proposals, clip maps, retention strategy summaries, and interference lists with recommended resolutions
Build issue logs with corrective action recommendations and verification status
PFMEA inputs (process steps, failure modes, causes, controls, recommended actions) as requested by the PFMEA owner
Work instruction inputs / visual aids related to routing and clipping
Weekly technical status summary (progress, blockers, decisions needed)
Reporting / Direction
Contractor will work under the direction of the Project Lead (or designated Engineering Manager) and support OU Work Package Leads and Product Project PAR Leads.
Contractor will provide a weekly status update and participate in required technical reviews and build readiness meetings.

Requirements:

Automotive engineering background with hands-on experience in routing and clipping/retention
AutoCAD capability (2D layout, markup, and release-quality documentation)
Experience supporting builds and resolving fit/process issues in a fast-paced environment
Ability to work cross-functionally and document technical rationale clearly
Bachelor’s Degree
3+ years of experience minimum
Preferred
Strong knowledge of LV battery cables / LV power distribution / powernet (primary focus area)
Capability to support LV harness routing and fluid line routing (secondary assignment area)
Experience with 3D modeling systems (NX preferred; equivalent CAD tools acceptable)
