Position Overview

Mechanical Engineer, E-Motor/Dyno is responsible for designing intent assembly requirements of E-Motor Assemblies and Dyno metrics. Responsible for root cause analysis of product issues, interim containment action development/verification/implementation, & permanent corrective action development/verification/implementation where applicable with close collaboration with core engineering to ensure design intent & validation requirements are met.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with Manufacturing cross-functional teams & DU test & validation teams to champion pending product issues/test specification related issues to resolution

• Solve complex component/system level product or multi-variable issues using standard problem-solving techniques pertaining to E-Motor assemblies

• Owns RCA of EOL DU failures at Dynamometer with manufacturing cross-functional teams with systematic data analysis & associated trends to help pinpoint the source of the issue

• Strong understanding for engineering requirements behind test spec acceptance criteria & associated development into production EOL Dyno test specifications

• Partner with DU test & validation team to correlate production dyno data with engineering validation data

• Champion resolution of recurring production EOL Dyno fallout with potential cause as gaps in validation coverage in close collaboration with DU test & validation, NVH Teams etc.

• Support development of improved screening methodologies based on field and validation learnings

• Empower Manufacturing & Test engineers with know how to triage failures from Dynamometer to sustain operations

• Responsible for design intent assembly requirements for E-Motor assembly, Dyno test specifications & associated enforcement on the line in close collaboration with cross-functional teams

• Support new product launches, execute part concession deviations for E-Motor & Inverter assemblies in the manufacturing plant without compromising design intent of the product

• Support high volume production ramp activities pertaining to product engineering

• Advice on build process development and possible improvements for high volume production lines to ensure variation in process within acceptable tolerance limits of design intent

Skills
