System Design Lead

Job Description:

• System design lead (SDL) acts as leader for individual propulsion system programs ensuring consistency and targets achievement for FE/CO2, capability, performance, drivability, NVH, supported by the virtual system engineering functional teams.
• Drive propulsion system development across HEV, PHEV, REPB, and ICE platforms.
• Drive & support activities to finalize architecture decisions for global products.
• Support activities to improve operational efficiency by streamlining SDL workflows and program governance processes.
• Partner with propulsion chief engineers, sub-systems, vehicle and planning teams to balance tradeoffs between FE, performance, drivability/capability and thermal requirements to meet critical propulsion system and vehicle functional requirements.
• SDL is accountable for providing propulsion system engineering performance scorecards/health report at key gates and reviews according to PSDP process.
• SDL is responsible to Lead the requirements engineering team members to develop requirements documents across program milestones with focus on vehicle functional objectives and sub-system functional requirements.
• SDL is responsible for leading the implementation of technical solutions, recommendations and roadmap inputs for various propulsion system programs.
• Lead risk management and issue resolution with internal counterparts, expertise network and supplier team.
• SDL is accountable to develop and ensure implementation of global technical and departmental processes to improve overall operational efficiency.
