Job Description

Role Overview
We are looking for a versatile, highly skilled Powertrain Integration & Packaging Engineer to act as a core pillar of our offshore engineering team. This individual will bridge the gap between powertrain design (engines, motors, transmissions, batteries) and the overall vehicle from early-stage concept design and advanced dimensional engineering to vehicle-level packaging, global stakeholder collaboration, and supplier management. The role ensures propulsion systems fit seamlessly into the chassis, meeting design rule requirements and performance targets by optimizing space, weight, and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Development
Lead concept design studies for new product development, design enhancements for efficiency improvement, and provide design support from concept through production validation across Powertrain commodities (Engine, Transmission, Driveline, Air Intake, Cooling, Fuel, Exhaust, and Electrical systems).
Handle Powertrain Packaging in the vehicle environment; redesign Exhaust/Fuel systems per new Homologation requirements.
Develop packaging concepts for Powertrain commodities.

Develop and maintain 3D packaging of propulsion components (engine, transmission, e-drive, battery, inverter, and cooling systems) to ensure optimal fitment within the vehicle environment.

Dimensional Engineering
Independently perform complex GD&T application, linear/radial/bolt stack-up analysis, and VSA (Variation Systems Analysis).

Packaging & DMU
Conduct robust DPA (Digital Pre-Assembly) clearance and interference checks of parts against surrounding environments relative to established OEM design rules.
Perform Digital Mock-Up (DMU) studies, clearance checks, and static/dynamic simulations to ensure design rule guidelines are met.

Release & Lifecycle Management
Drive the Engineering Change Management process, managing end-to-end 2D/3D CAD data releases as per engineering standards using CAD and PLM tools such as CATIA V5 & Teamcenter.
Supplier & OEM Collaboration
Interact with cross-functional global engineers to resolve technical issues.
Guide suppliers to deliver 3D/2D CAD models and drawings compliant with standards.
