The Active Aerodynamic System Design Responsible Engineer (DRE) owns the design and engineering release of active aero systems (e.g., active grille shutters, active air dams) for production vehicles. This role defines and delivers component-level objectives aligned to vehicle functional targets and leads the system from concept and packaging through design, analysis, validation, and launch, coordinating suppliers and cross-functional teams and supporting testing, plant activities, and issue resolution.
This is a Product Engineer / Design Responsible Engineer role for active aerodynamic systems. It is not a CAD designer, CFD engineer, or software developer role. The engineer will own systems end to end and lead suppliers who design and develop the hardware.
The Active Aerodynamic System Design Responsible Engineer (DRE) responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Lead supplier design reviews and ensure designs meet requirements and specifications.
- Deliver systems that meet quality, performance, timing, weight, and cost targets.
- Collaborate with advanced engineering to define and package designs prior to sourcing.
- Provide regional, on-site mechatronics component support as needed.
- Develop and maintain boundary diagrams, interface matrices, parameter diagrams, DFMEA, and DVP&R.
- Ensure integration with adjacent components, network communications, and ECUs.
- Manage design integrity and releasing in NX/Teamcenter, including EBOM, change management (CCD/WebCN), and hardware/software releases/changes (including DVP&Rs).
- Plan and execute analysis and validation activities (e.g., CAE/CFD, kinematic/compliance modeling), including benchmarking and competitive/technology investigations.
- Drive issue management, root cause analysis, and corrective actions; support quality and warranty initiatives and field concerns.
- Support RFQ activities, technical evaluations, and business cases; identify innovative, cost-effective solutions to meet functional objectives.
- Own program timing and deliverables, meeting vehicle program milestones and communicating status via issue lists, timelines, and technical presentations.
- Coordinate regulatory compliance activities with suppliers and internal compliance teams.
- Direct suppliers in developing, testing, and releasing hardware and software to meet vehicle- and subsystem-level functional/behavior objectives; support requirements development with EE systems engineering (VF specs) and supplier requirements analysis (RAR).
Primary systems include:
- Active Grille Shutters
- Active Air Dams
- Future rebalancing could include other mechatronic or exterior commodities such as mirrors, alerting systems, or wiping and washing systems.
