Mechanical Integration Engineer

Responsibilities

• Work in fast-paced environment with competing requirements and challenging deadlines.
• Work with Lead Designers to manage project milestones, scope changes & supplier issues affecting designs.
• Teamwork: Work with team members locally and at Garrett’s other global development centers. Opportunity to travel to external labs or other facilities to oversee prototype component testing or assembly.
• End-to-End ownership: Own all aspects of the design including the 3D model, 2D drawings, Bill of Material, component stack-up analysis, validation results, assembly instructions, process controls, quality controls, etc.
• Concept: Work cross-functionally with other engineering teams to understand the requirements, voice-of-the-customer, packaging restrictions and performance targets. Iteratively translate those into a conceptual design.
• Design: Collaborate with Design Engineers to develop a 3D model from “clean sheet” to full production inverter using OnShape cloud based CAD. Convert the 3D model into 2D drawings and implement full GD&T in preparation for procurement.
• Rapid Prototyping: Work with component suppliers to source proto hardware and solve quality and technical challenges.
• Assembly: Collaborate with local and global resources to assemble fully functional units. This includes hands-on assembly, debugging, testing.
• Simulations: Execute various mechanical and thermal simulations on your design, including collaborating with Materials & Structures team FEA and CFD/CHT experts to solve challenging engineering problems and tradeoffs.
• Electronics: Work closely with Electrical Engineering Hardware team to package complex, high voltage, high power PCBA into sealed housings exposed to high temperatures and punishing vibrations.
• Strong focus on built-in quality: Design complex parts and assemblies while applying Design for Manufacturing (DFM), cost & reliability fundamentals. Justify those decisions with supporting evidence including calculations, simulations and empirical testing.
• Mechatronic mastery: Make design decisions based on engineering and cost tradeoffs on all components of an inverter including: Aluminum die casting parts, injection molding parts, 3D printing, sheet metal forming, welding, soldering, adhesives, liquid cooled systems, seals and gaskets, electrical contacts, busbars, insulating films etc.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Mechatronic Engineering.
• 3 or more years of experience designing mechanical and/or electrical devices / components / systems such as traction drive inverters, DC/DC converters or other electronics for automotive, aerospace or industrial applications.
• Intermediate CAD skills. Experience with Onshape (preferred). Solidworks, CATIA V5, or equivalent CAD software accepted.
• Understanding of vibration, heat transfer, material fatigue, statics & dynamics, fluid dynamics, material properties (metallic, polymeric and elastomeric).
• Basic knowledge of ASME Y14.5-1994 or 2018 Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) standard and 2D/3D tolerance stack up analysis.
• Experience with Enovia PLM / SmarTeam / Team Center PDM Systems preferred. Experience with other modern PLM systems (e.g. Windchill) are accepted equivalents.
• Experience in design for manufacturing (DFM) of metal castings, machining, sheet metal forming, plastic injection molding, liquid dispense dosing. Experience in design for modern mass-production part assembly processes.

Additional Desired Qualifications

• Basic understanding of automotive powertrains internal combustion engines (and turbochargers), fuel cells, electric vehicles.
• Basic understanding of industrial refrigeration systems and refrigeration compressors.
• Knowledge and experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
• Experience with fluid flow and dynamics and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics).
• Experience with thermal design and simulation (CHT).
• Experience with APQP, PPAP, DFMEA & problem solving techniques.
• Six Sigma or Lean certified.

Key Success Factors

• Work both independently and in a team environment.
• Team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to support other teams when called upon.
• Ability to coordinate detail design activities with local and global teams.
