- Fuel systems (storage / supply) for gasoline, diesel, or gaseous fuel (CNG, LPG) applications
- Powertrain thermal systems (engine cooling and HVAC)
- EV propulsion systems and power electronics hardware
- Apply relevant engineering analysis to create new component & subsystem designs to meet customer requirements
- Work with CAD resources to develop 3D models and 2D prints
- Coordinate with CAE resources to analytically validate designs
- Develop & execute hardware test plans to validate function while maintaining relevant DVP&R documentation:
- Process data
- Document test results
- Report on status both internally as well as externally to customers
- Interface and coordinate with suppliers to deliver both prototype parts and production solutions
- Support prototype and pre-production build events
- Support production launch for responsible components/systems
