Propulsion System Architect

About the role

In this role you will be responsible for developing new propulsion system architectures. You'll lead a cross functional team in the development of Electrified Propulsion System Architectures. We're seeking an engineer who works collaboratively with others and is comfortable with ambiguity.

Responsibilities

• Balance propulsion system requirements in order to optimize the vehicle integrated propulsion system
• Ensure analytical models, initial component designs and controls of key electrification systems and components have been developed with high fidelity
• Develop the system to meet key performance and cost targets by working collaboratively VDDV, Cost Engineering and Planning
• Lead component or system trade studies to select optimized solutions to meet vehicle requirements of range, performance, drive quality and cost
• Collaborate with R&D, Technical Fellows, Vehicle Architects and BoM owners to develop advanced propulsion technologies, proof-of-concepts and provide feedback to technology roadmaps. Integrate selected technologies into ATW or BA programs.
• Identify performance gaps and work with stakeholders to determine resolution
• Ensure propulsion system DFMEA is completed
• Ensure requirements and hardware technology align with customer expectations by collaborating with engineers from vehicle, battery, drive unit, and motor teams.
• Engage with vehicle team for alignment on propulsion system development and integration
• Work with other SMT's, Vehicle teams, planning, Finance, and Electrification leadership as necessary to lead the project team through successful completion of key program gates and milestones
• Continuously benchmark automotive and other industries to identify and implement innovative technologies for electric vehicles.
• Protect intellectual property (IP) by documenting your new ideas for invention board review and subsequent patent submissions.
