• You will be the owner of specified components of the MCU.
• Follows and contributes to continual improvement of the product development process.
• Collaborate with cross-functional product teams (systems integration, thermal, electrical, battery, CAE/Analytics, manufacturing, testing, configuration management), in concert with vendors, on the complete life cycle of the project through product launch, and implementation of lessons learned on subsequent products.
• Apply fundamental physics to lead the progression of design maturity from initial concept to product launch, to next concept.
• Lead definition of appropriate system-level engineering targets to meet function, quality, and attribute requirements of the program.
• Ability to develop, research and adhere to vehicle/product requirements documentation that incorporate customer, company, industry standards and regulations.
• Ability to lead or perform mechanical test planning and reporting in coordination with the Test and Validation team responsible for test execution. This may also include management of test procedures with third-party test facilities.
• Lead resolution of design, attribute, or packaging incompatibilities through deep collaboration with cross-functional teams
• Troubleshoot and resolve validation issues.
• Support product launch and pre-production builds (both virtual and physical)
• Establish relationships with existing and future suppliers, traveling for occasional supplier visits.
• Identify opportunities for cost and mass optimization, leading change requests through implementation.
• Be able to travel up to 10% of the time.

Additional Responsibilities

• Ability to utilize Siemens SimCenter to construct 2D/3D static structural simulation models of basic to moderate complexity to characterize the performance of assigned systems. For more complex models, experience working closely with a CAE simulation team to review and adopt data-centric performance.
• Other duties as required.

MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS:

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adept in pivoting to overcome obstacles while successfully delivering complete solutions with minimal supervision across multiple simultaneous projects.
• Personal energy and passion for engineering great products and a “Get-it-done right the first time” attitude.
