About the role

As a design engineering representative for all battery products in production, you will serve in a lead role on the investigation and improvement of products with key cross-functional teams. Your responsibilities include performing failure analysis, identifying design improvements, creating design updates, testing to requirements, documenting, and releasing to manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Lead investigations to identify and implement engineering solutions to design issues, utilizing Catia 3DExperience (3DX) to create/modify design data (3D and 2D).
• Create and support documentation and reporting activities, including (but not limited to) non-conformance reports (NCRs), supplier deviation requests (SDRs), and engineering change requests (ECRs).
• Write, submit, and coordinate the approvals for engineering change orders (ECOs), while ensuring the proper implementation of design changes in production.
• Manage Bill of Materials (BOM) generation/revisions for a high-mix variant product line.
• Attend Material Review Board (MRB) to provide guidance on disposition of materials.
• Work with quality and manufacturing teams to support first-article inspections, line trials, and production pilot builds.
• Collaborate with the broader engineering team to provide Design for Assembly (DFA)/Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback and assist in the development of significant design specifications, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Design of Experiments (DOE), verification, and validation protocols.
• Work directly with component suppliers to troubleshoot issues, request samples, and understand cost and timing impacts of changes.

Requirements

• BS degree in Engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Working in a product development environment with an emphasis on failure analysis.
• Working in 3D CAD design and 2D drafting (including GD&T) of mechanical components (Catia experience is preferred).
