We are seeking an intermediate Design and Release Engineer. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to contribute to the serial life production of Electric Drive Module Gear Reducers. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in product engineering, design, and release processes, with a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience. Experience with NX and Teamcenter software is a plus.

Product Engineering / Design & Releasing: Collaborate with the engineering team to develop and refine gear reducer components and sub-assemblies with an emphasis on continuous improvements, warranty and cost reduction. Generate detailed designs, perform feasibility studies, and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Change Management: Manage and facilitate change management processes, ensuring that design changes are properly evaluated, documented, and implemented while minimizing disruptions.

Develop DFMEAs and Evaluate Designs: Develop Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) documents. Evaluate designs for potential failure modes and recommend design improvements to enhance product reliability and safety.

DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report): Contribute to the creation of DVP&R documents outlining testing and validation procedures. Work with testing teams to ensure successful execution and documentation of verification tests.

CAE Reviews with CAE Team: Participate in CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) reviews with the CAE team. Provide input, evaluate simulations, and contribute to refining designs based on CAE analysis.

Monitoring Sourcing with Purchasing: Work closely with the purchasing department to monitor the sourcing of components and materials required for the products. Ensure timely availability of resources while adhering to cost and quality considerations.

Supplier Technical Reviews: Support technical reviews with suppliers to ensure alignment on design specifications, manufacturing processes, and quality standards. Address any technical concerns and collaborate on resolution.

Support Pre-Pilot/Launch Activities: Play a crucial role in pre-pilot and product launch activities. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure readiness for production, addressing any last-minute design or engineering adjustments.

Tooling Kick Off: Participate in tooling kick-off meetings to ensure accurate and timely development of required manufacturing tools and equipment.

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field. Advanced degree is a plus. Minimum of 3 years of experience in product engineering, design and release, preferably in Propulsion Systems. Proficiency in CAD software, particularly NX, and experience with Teamcenter is advantageous. Strong understanding of DFMEA, DVP&R, and CAE processes. Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with internal teams and suppliers.
