Driveline System Engineer

ND DEFENSE LLC

Job Description

Job Description

Driveline Systems Engineer

ND Defense builds military and commercial vehicles, from tactical wheeled vehicles to heavy trucks. In this role, you'll take on driveline work across several vehicle programs, with a mix of design, hands-on prototype support, and day-to-day problem-solving. No two weeks look the same, and the people who thrive here are comfortable shifting priorities without losing track of the details.

What You'll Do

  • Work on driveline systems — including electric and hybrid drive components — for new vehicles and platform upgrades
  • Juggle multiple programs and supplier relationships as priorities shift
  • Tackle tough packaging, durability, and torsional problems that don't have a textbook answer
  • Help shape how we document and standardize driveline engineering, since our processes are still evolving
  • Get out on the shop floor during builds and testing to solve real fit and assembly issues
  • Bring curiosity for AI tools to speed up your day-to-day work

What We're Looking For

  • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or something related
  • 3 or more years of experience in driveline, powertrain, or chassis engineering — automotive, defense, or heavy vehicle background all work
  • Comfort reading and working with 3D CAD (Creo, NX, CATIA, or similar)
  • Bonus if you know your way around transmissions, driveshafts, transfer cases, axles, wheel ends, or tires
  • An interest in AI tools is a plus — not required to walk in the door with it
  • Applicants must be U.S. Persons (U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident/Green Card Holder)

ND Defense LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or disability.
