Mechanical Integration Engineer

Garrett Advancing Motion is the true pioneer of automotive powertrain technologies dating back more than 60 years. It continues today as the worlds leader in technology solutions for passenger cars commercial vehicles and off- highway equipment. Garrett supplies technology to nearly all major automakers in addition to the global aftermarket under the Garrett brand name. As a result unlike many other OEM or supplier organizations Garrett Advancing Motion has visibility across a broad range of OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

We are looking for a Mechanical Integration Engineer Core to join the team and work cross-functionally with electrical mechanical simulation systems and other engineers to design build and test prototypes. You will be responsible for end-to-end development of high powered inverters that will push the boundaries of what is possible - taking a design from the conceptual stage to the model stage to physical prototypes in the lab and ultimately on the customers application. Come join our fast-paced and dynamic team!

Responsibilities Include:

• Work in fast-paced environment with competing requirements and challenging deadlines. Work with Lead Designers to manage project milestones scope changes & supplier issues affecting designs.
• Teamwork
  • Work with team members locally and at Garretts other global development centers. You will have the opportunity to travel to external labs or other facilities to oversee prototype component testing or assembly.
• End-to-End ownership
  • You will own all aspects of the design including the 3D model 2D drawings Bill of Material component stack-up analysis validation results assembly instructions process controls quality controls etc.
• Concept
  • Work cross-functionally with other engineering teams to understand the requirements voice-of-the-customer packaging restrictions and performance targets. Iteratively translating those into a conceptual design.
• Design
  • Collaborate with Design Engineers to develop a 3D model from clean sheet to full production inverter using OnShape cloud based CAD. Convert the 3D model into 2D drawings and implement full GD&T in preparation for procurement.
• Rapid Prototyping
  • Work with component suppliers to source proto hardware and solve quality and technical challenges.
• Assembly
  • Collaborate with local and global resources to assemble fully functional units. This includes hands-on assembly debugging testing.
• Simulations
  • Execute various mechanical and thermal simulations on your design including collaborating with Materials & Structures team FEA and CFD/CHT experts to solve challenging engineering problems and tradeoffs.
• Electronics
  • Work closely with Electrical Engineering Hardware team to package complex high voltage high power PCBA into sealed housings exposed to high temperatures and punishing vibrations.
• Strong focus on built in quality. Design complex parts and assemblies while applying Design for Manufacturing (DFM) cost & reliability fundamentals.
• Mechatronic mastery
  • Make design decisions based on engineering and cost tradeoffs on all components of an inverter including: Aluminum die casting parts injection molding parts 3D printing sheet metal forming welding soldering adhesives liquid cooled systems seals and gaskets electrical contacts busbars insulating films etc. Justify those decisions with supporting evidence including calculations simulations and empirical testing.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering.
• 3 or more years of experience designing mechanical and/or electrical devices / components / systems such as traction drive inverters DC/DC converters or other electronics for automotive aerospace or industrial applications.
• Intermediate CAD skills. Experience with Onshape (preferred). Solidworks CATIA V5 or equivalent CAD software accepted.
• Understanding of vibration heat transfer material fatigue statics & dynamics fluid dynamics material properties (metallic polymeric and elastomeric).
• Basic knowledge of ASME Y14.5-1994 or 2018 Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) standard and 2D/3D tolerance stack up analysis.
• Experience with Enovia PLM / SmarTeam / Team Center PDM Systems preferred. Experience with other modern PLM systems (e.g. Windchill) are accepted equivalents.
• Experience in design for manufacturing (DFM) of metal castings machining sheet metal forming plastic injection molding liquid dispense dosing. Experience in design for modern mass-production part assembly processes.

Additional Desired Qualifications:

• Basic understanding of automotive powertrains internal combustion engines (and turbochargers) fuel cells electric vehicles.
• Basic understanding of industrial refrigeration systems and refrigeration compressors.
• Basic knowledge of mechatronic systems experience working with PCBA power electronics and high voltage systems a plus.
• Knowledge and experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis). Experience with fluid flow and dynamics and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics).
• Experience with thermal design and simulation (CHT).
• Experience with APQP PPAP DFMEA & problem solving techniques.
• Six Sigma or Lean certified
  

Key Success Factors:

• Work both independently and in a team environment.
• Team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to support other teams when called upon.
• Ability to coordinate detail design activities with local and global teams.
