- Create drawing packages and manufacturing instructions for parts and assemblies

- Execute a design verification process and report (DVP&R) to validate requirements

- Perform topology optimization to balance strength and NVH objectives, identifying ribbing structures within the available package space to meet structural and NVH constraints

- Conduct sealing analysis with expertise in component hyper-elastic analysis

- Perform NVH analysis (modal, frequency response, mount mobility) and linear static stress analyses for complete drive unit systems

- Develop and maintain program-specific design failure mode and effects analyses (DFMEAs)

- Coordinate validation efforts between Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers

- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, control, manufacturing, and test engineers to take designs from clean sheet through prototypes and into mass production

- Assist hands-on in engineering prototype builds and component fabrication

What You'll Bring

- Proficiency with understanding loads and their application on various drive unit components

- Experience with MATLAB and/or Python

- Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analyses

- Strong fundamental knowledge of material properties and heat treatment

- Strong fundamental knowledge of statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials

The salary for this position ranges from $120,000 - $240,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
