The Opportunity

The eMachine component Engineer role is within the Electric Machine delivery team, as part of the overall Powertrain Electrified Engineering Group. Reporting to the Electric Machine Delivery Manager, the component Engineer would be responsible for the delivery of electric machine component(s) to meet quality, cost, weight, timing and functional targets.

As eMachine Component Engineer, you will provide programme management leadership for the electric machine component(s) in order to ensure successful delivery of eMachine component from concept through to production. This will involve coordinating the design, development and testing activities. Further responsibility will be to operate in an Agile environment.

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities

• Own the Design and Release of one or more eMachine components across various eMachine programmes.
• Ensure robust timing plans are in place that achieves Program milestones and targets (Quality, Cost, Functionality, Weight, and Timing).
• Develop a Product Design Specification and Statement of Requirements to support supplier sourcing and work with the matched pair through the component Global Sourcing Process (GSP)
• Develop and release component updates to Engineering Specifications.
• Ensure DFMEA, Design Rules, Requirement Management and Design Verification (RMDV), Statement of Work process/documents are diligently and transparently implemented in the design condition at the appropriate design maturity gateways.
• Lead issue resolution (AIMS/JIRA Obstacles/impediments) and Component Change Management (WERS).
• Lead suppliers through design phase, procurement of prototypes, production tooling and ensure components perform to requirements.
• Ownership of Product Engineering eAPQP deliverable activities, status reporting and Smart sheet (Component Delivery Timing Plan) management.
• Support various prototype builds, source parts for prototype build and development of eMachine manufacturing processes.
