Engineer - Product Engineer Engine System Cooling

Components include cooling module assemblies (radiator, condenser, electric fan assembly), transmission oil coolers, high- and low-pressure hose and tube assemblies, electric coolant heaters, valves and pumps. Experience with radiators, condensers, fan assemblies, transmission oil coolers, coolant hoses/tubes, valves, pumps, or electric coolant heaters.

The Product Engineer
Engine System Cooling will design, develop, validate, and release cooling components. Components include cooling module assemblies (radiator, condenser, electric fan assembly), transmission oil coolers, high- and low-pressure hose and tube assemblies, electric coolant heaters, valves and pumps. Components will be developed using best practices and methodologies such as CAE, System Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), and Design Validation Plans (DVP&R). Responsibilities include but not limited to:
Responsible for a set of cooling components potentially in all stages of vehicles development.
Lead early packaging and development of components to meet cooling functional objectives.
Coordinate CAE, design, prototyping and testing and the documentation of those activities.
Cooperate with supplier to ensure design for manufacturability and track supplier progress to ensure part maturity and creation milestones are met.
Support vehicle assembly and vehicle testing and resolve any issues discovered with the components.
Address quality concerns and potential cost reductions after vehicle launch.
