  • Perform root cause analysis using structured problem-solving methodologies
  • Drive supplier design reviews and approvals
  • Develop and maintain DFMEA and technical specifications (SSTS/TTS)
  • Define system requirements and ensure alignment with suppliers
  • Identify opportunities for design optimization, cost reduction, and improved reliability
  • Prepare and present technical reports and design reviews
  • Stay current with driveline and transmission technologies
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers

What Sets You Up for Success

  • Action-oriented mindset
  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity
  • Customer-focused approach
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills
