JOB DESCRIPTION:-
Position's Contributions to Work Group:-
An Electric Powertrain (ePowertrain) includes a power source (ex. battery and/or fuel cell), power electronics, and electric drivetrain components combined via controls into an electric powertrain system.
As a Validation Engineering Lead in the ePowertrain Systems team, you will be joining an innovative team on the cutting edge of electrification.
The ePowertrain Systems team is part of the Electrification & Advanced Power Systems Division and is a full electric powertrain solution partner for CI, RI, and E&T prime product groups.
You will be responsible for supporting ePowertrain validation leaders who are planning across multiple NPI programs and will work with L6 Product Groups, L5 ePowertrain system, and L3-L4 component technical leads to support their programs with Requirements Definition, Proactive Reliability, FMEA based planning, and PPRD to ensure proper validation of advanced ePowertrain components and systems supporting a wide variety of new product development and new technology investigation projects.
Your role will be critical to providing the necessary details to ensure validation excellence in ePowertrain and delivering world-class solutions.
Typical Day:-
Collaborating with systems teams, lab teams, and global machine development groups to establish standard work. Activities should favor virtual and lab-based techniques.
Driving usage of tools such as the Failsafe Process and Validation FMEA's to evaluate the effectiveness of the validation activity plan on critical failure modes, and direct activities to mitigate risk.
Development of electric drive component and system failure modes & effects analysis (FMEAs) with key focus on developing standard FMEAs
As validation needs become known for which there is no robust method, the validation engineer may need you to lead the effort to develop a new procedure.
Creating Proactive Reliability glide paths
Supporting and participating in Simulation & Test Collaboration Workshops (STCWs) at system level, and participation in component and machine level events
Preparing and presenting a Readiness Summary at Gates 1 through 6 for the ePowertrain L5 system
Staying abreast of product new content and sharing w/ other appropriate L4, L5, & L6 Validation Leaders
Provide guidance to machine configurations for testing/validation.
Management of development (NPI) issues
Facilitation of issue resolution with design groups
Communicating results to customers, suppliers, team members, and other business units
Conducting L5 ePowertrain system readiness summaries (SRS)
Providing Technical guidance, effective training, relationship building, & engagement of other Validation Engineers and capture lessons learned
Education Requirements:-
Bachelor's degree in accredited Engineering (prefer Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechatronics).
5-7+ years of experience OR a Master's degree in Engineering (prefer Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechatronics).
Previous product development experience (design, validation/test, or analysis).
Technical Skills:
Required:-
Experience with lab component or machine validation, Experience with structured FMEA & DVP&R process, Excellent analytical skills, Experience with NPI Issue resolution process, Systems' Thinking, Experience with electric drive systems and/or components, Demonstrated understanding of mechanical & electrical systems with special emphasis on electric drive systems.
Desired:-
Experience with electric drive systems and/or components, Demonstrated understanding of mechanical & electrical systems with special emphasis on electric drive systems.
Soft Skills:- Strong communication skills, Self-starter with strong technical leadership skills, Solid organizational and facilitation skills (6-Sigma BB or GB).
