Description
In this position, you will ensure that lubrication fluid within transmission, axle, and drive unit assemblies is properly distributed according to component requirements for proper function, life, efficiency, and wear. This role will guide physical and analytical studies for in-flight programs, publish and maintain design requirements, and be instrumental in solving thermal & lubrication based failure modes discovered in physical testing or via warranty analysis.
Your responsibilities will include leading technical discussions and deep dives to balanced conclusions, understanding upfront design, verification plan and methods, and industrialization process, and knowing the competitive landscape and what it takes to outpace the competition. You will also be able to speak with confidence and authority but be humble and collaborative in leading a technical review and debate.
Additional responsibilities include authoring requirements, rules, methods in a manner that institutionalizes key learnings, authoring and maintaining lubrication distribution design engineering specifications for housings, hydraulic circuits, clutches, orifices, baffles, oil transfer tubes, etc., and co-leading technical peer reviews with component supervisor.
You will also coach, mentor, and train Suspension D&R engineers across all the global regions, own lubrication and thermal based warranty spend including driving best practices across supply base, and be responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Core Engineering Documents (FMA Documents, SDS/Requirements and Test Procedures, etc.).
You will be integral to Signoff of System/Subsystem/Component with specific signoff responsibility BEFORE Chief Signoff, partner with CAE team to identify and develop new methods in modeling and assessing lubrication distribution in transmission, drive unit, and axle products, and go-to for Problem Solving – Launch, Recall, Quality / Field Issues, DV/PV issues.
You will conduct global supplier onsite reviews at component plants and recommend best practices for manufacturing process and quality control, provide technical support to the Architecture, Core, and Applications teams for the development of lubrication distribution, conduct benchmarking to optimize component design for future programs, and provide Technical leadership to broader Underbody Systems engineering teams.
You will leverage CAE modelling capability to optimize quality, maximize efficiency and minimize cost, create and conduct training sessions, and submit a completed evidence book to proceed in the interview process.
