The role is responsible for the design, development, and technical leadership in the creation, validation, and release of sealing components, managing the product lifecycle from concept to production release.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design of sealing components, ensuring alignment with vehicle and powertrain requirements
- Develop and refine concepts for various sealing components, such as O-rings, PIP gaskets, rear seal retainers, etc… based on functional, safety, and performance requirements
- Support CAD modeling, FEA (Finite Element Analysis), and other design validation methods to ensure sealing integrity and compliance with standards
- Collaborate with other engineering teams (electrical, thermal, packaging) to integrate sealing components into the overall powertrain architecture
- Manage design release activities from early concept through production, including the timely completion of B-Sample, C-Sample, X0, X1, X2, and X3 milestones
- Own the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) for powertrain sealing components
- Ensure all parts meet quality, cost, and timing requirements
- Drive the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) for powertrain sealing components, ensuring compliance with all regulatory and customer specifications
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, suppliers, and quality, to ensure the successful release and implementation of designs
- Provide technical leadership and support during the development and production stages to resolve design issues, material selection challenges, and process-related problems
- Lead DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and other risk assessment activities to ensure design robustness and mitigate potential issues
- Participate in the development of testing strategies for powertrain sealing components
- Work closely with suppliers to ensure design feasibility, cost competitiveness, and manufacturability of powertrain sealing components
- Collaborate with validation teams to define and implement validation testing, ensuring powertrain sealing components meet functional and performance metrics
- Partner with vehicle integration teams to ensure proper fitment, safety, and integration of powertrain sealing components into the overall vehicle platform
- Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including design specifications, drawings, test plans, and validation reports
- Ensure that all technical documentation is up-to-date and aligns with program timelines and PPAP requirements
- Report on project status, timelines, and risk assessments to senior management and stakeholders
Skills
- Bachelor's of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited school or equivalent
- 5+ years of relevant experience working with design and manufacturing of sealing or related components
- Working experience in creation and execution of validation plans
- Critical character traits to ensure success: Action Oriented, Dealing with Ambiguity, Customer Focus, Problem Solving
- Working experience with 3D cad programs, preferably Siemens NX
- Relevant experience working with various sealing components and systems
- Understanding of sealing components and related manufacturing processes
- Understanding of product development documentation such as, DFMEA and DVP&R
- Understanding of Mechanics of Materials, Sealing systems, CAE Analysis, and GD&T
- Experience in selecting materials and manufacturing methods for sealing components
