Senior Electric Powertrain Engineer

We’re on the lookout for a Senior Electric Powertrain Engineer to work in a multi-disciplinary and multi-functional role, related to our high voltage E-Powertrain.  In this role you’ll work on multiple aspects of the E-Powertrain system of Class 8 heavy duty trucks. You will support a variety of roles based on your skillset and company requirements.

• Develop the requirements definition and tracking for Electric Powertrain Components for class-8 Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Platform
• Work on several aspects of component and system level testing, including instrumentation, test fixtures and setup, procedures, and reporting for Powertrain. Testing may involve DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report) development and testing of multiple programs, powertrain dyno testing, chassis dyno, durability testing, thermal performance, EMC, NVH, track and road testing
• Lead and participate in trouble shooting issues in trucks associated with electric powertrain components especially high voltage power electronics inverters
• Lead and participate root cause analysis to pinpoint areas of improvement in inverter software as well as hardware functions
• Support component- and system-level simulations, typically using Simulink
• Support development of 2D, 3D, and analytical models
• Assist with fabricating prototype test setups and hardware-in-the-loop testers to integrate new subsystems with simulated and actual vehicle components
• Assist with electromagnetics, mechanical, and/or thermal design aspect of various components in the E-Axle, including the e-motor, gearbox, differential, axle structure, thermal system components, etc
• Work with the cross-discipline development and design engineers throughout the Powertrain organization to ensure the relevant subsystems are designed with appropriate requirements
• Assist with various components and assemblies in CAD tools
• Perform complex design analysis
• Develop engineering designs (including subsystems)
• Implement engineering changes

• M.S. in EE, EET, ME, MET, Automotive Engineering, with a specialty working on electric powertrain systems or components, plus 3+ years of industry experience working with electro-mechanical systems, or
• Ph.D. in EE, EET, ME, MET, Automotive Engineering, with a specialty working on electric powertrain systems or components
• Strong foundation of electrified powertrain concepts (motor, inverter, gearbox, and battery systems), emerging trends, and overall system interaction
• Experience in developing high voltage power electronics inverters, testing, and troubleshooting
• The ability to work effectively in a cross functional group setting
• The ability to work independently
• Must have the ability to deliver succinct written and verbal communication
• Hands-on technical experience debugging complex systems involving networked microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices
• Experience safely working with high voltage
  
• Comfortable analyzing data, as well as developing analytical tools to command functions, to monitor responses, to parse data from log files, or to aid in data review
  
• Creative capacity for developing new ways to integrate complex system better and faster in alignment with the aggressive industry approach to revolutionary product development
  
• Must be highly motivated and able to manage multiple assignments concurrently with limited supervision, while driving day-to-day operations

Candidates must have current U.S. work authorization or be TN eligible from Mexico
or Canada. This position is not eligible for CPT or OPT.
