  • Oversee BOM integrity, approve critical build processes, and drive quality and cost engineering initiatives throughout the supply chain for your major assemblies.
  • Develop program schedules and partner with suppliers, quality, procurement, service, manufacturing, and engineering teams to drive complex open issues to closure and ensure on-time delivery.
  • Identify and communicate program progress, engineering challenges, and technical risks while proactively developing and leading strategic mitigation plans across the organization.
  • Lead the root-cause analysis and tracking of critical build and design issues impacting vehicle performance, quality, and production readiness to drive long-term engineering solutions.
  • Influence system designs to optimize performance, cost, quality, manufacturability, and serviceability by leading top-level design reviews, DFMEAs, validation programs, and manufacturing mock-builds.
  • Qualifications

  • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineer, or a related technical discipline
  • 12+ years of deep automotive engineering experience, with a focus on automotive powertrain or thermal system design and project management.
  • Proficiency with advanced automotive engineering tools and methodologies, including CATIA V5/V6, PLM/BOM management, FMEA/FTA, and structured root-cause analysis (8D, Fishbone), and project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Polarion, Gantt charts, ERP, PLM, ALM).
  • Experience designing for attributes such as crash, NVH, reliability, strength, and corrosion.
  • A proven track record of managing complex cross-functional projects and delivering components via external design suppliers and contract manufacturers.
  • End-to-end New Product Introduction (NPI) experience.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills across all levels, from peers and suppliers to manufacturing and executive management.
  • Ability to travel globally as required.
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Familiarity with hardware/firmware product development and vehicle CAN/Firmware.
