Job Description
The Design Release Engineer for powertrain sealing components/systems is responsible for the design development and technical leadership in the creation validation and release of sealing components/systems for vehicles. The role involves driving the design through all phases of the product lifecycle including design concept engineering validation and production release through PPAP (Production Part Approval Process).
Responsibilities Include but not limited to:Design & Development:
Lead the design of sealing components ensuring alignment with vehicle and powertrain requirements.
Develop and refine concepts for various sealing components such as O-rings PIP gaskets rear seal retainers etc based on functional safety and performance requirements.
Support CAD modeling FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and other design validation methods to ensure sealing integrity and compliance with standards.
Collaborate with other engineering teams (electrical thermal packaging) to integrate sealing components into the overall powertrain architecture.
Release & Program Management:
Manage design release activities from early concept through production including the timely completion of B-Sample C-Sample X0 X1 X2 and X3 milestones.
Own the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) for powertrain sealing components.
Ensure all parts meet quality cost and timing requirements.
Drive the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) for powertrain sealing components ensuring compliance with all regulatory and customer specifications.
Technical Guidance & Problem Solving:
Provide technical leadership and support during the development and production stages to resolve design issues material selection challenges and process-related problems.
Lead DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and other risk assessment activities to ensure design robustness and mitigate potential issues.
Participate in the development of testing strategies for powertrain sealing components.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work closely with suppliers to ensure design feasibility cost competitiveness and manufacturability of powertrain sealing components.
Collaborate with validation teams to define and implement validation testing ensuring powertrain sealing components meet functional and performance metrics.
Partner with vehicle integration teams to ensure proper fitment safety and integration of powertrain sealing components into the overall vehicle platform.
Documentation & Reporting:
Develop and maintain engineering documentation including design specifications drawings test plans and validation reports.
Report on project status timelines and risk assessments to senior management and stakeholders.
Requirements
Basic Requirements:
