The Powertrain Product Engineer I role will be responsible for component and sub-system design & release of powertrain hardware. The role is supported by project team members and department staff. This role is onsite full-time in Allen Park, MI.

Powertrain functional responsibilities may vary on an individual project basis, but typical assignments include work on these main systems:

• 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)
• EV propulsion systems and power electronics hardware

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

• Coordinate with CAE resources to analytically validate designs

• Develop & execute hardware test plans to validate function while maintaining relevant DVP&R documentation:

• Process data

• Document test results

• 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

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

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related degree

• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer sponsorship

• Have a willingness to switch disciplines as needed, as this is critical for success in this role

• High mechanical aptitude, working knowledge of generic product development tasks from inception to production and basic understanding of all powertrain subsystems:

• IC engines

• EV powertrain systems and components

• Air induction & filtration

• Exhaust & aftertreatment systems

• Fuel systems (gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuels such as CNG & LPG)

• Powertrain thermal systems (engine cooling, battery thermal management and HVAC)

• Ability to read and interpret technical prints and assembly instructions (including a working knowledge of GD&T)

• Familiarity with DFMEA and DVP&R documents

• Excellent verbal, written, interpersonal communication, critical thinking, and problem- solving skills

• Ability to work both independently and in team settings while handling multiple assignments simultaneously

• Proficiency with MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

Preferred Experience & Skills:

• Willingness and ability to learn "on the fly" with minimal structured training (i.e. self directed)
• Collegiate experience in a team such as Formula SAE (IC, hybrid or electric) or Baja working the powertrain related subsystems
• Hands-on experience around powertrain hardware (personal projects / routine maintenance, etc.)
• Ability to handle new, and sometimes unfamiliar technical assignments with minimal guidance
• General understanding of prototype as well as production manufacturing and assembly processes (ex. low and high volume 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)
