This position supports and back stops multiple teams, primarily working on 48V hybrid propulsion systems. You will work closely with the following disciplines: MCP calibration, HCP calibration, PCM calibration, TCM calibration, eMotor hardware, 48V battery and DC/DC hardware & software, hybrid controls, chief engineering, and technical personnel. This is a hands-on engineering position, responsible for a wide variety of functional and performance test cases.
Responsibilities will include:
• Participate in and support DFMEA development
• Develop function DVP&R based on the below documents related to a specific program
• AFOD: Attribute Functional Objective Document
• VF: Vehicle Function Documents
• CFTS: Component Functional Technical Specification
• PF: Performance standard
• SSTS: Subsystem Technical Specification
• eSTR: Electrified System Technical Requirements
• CFOs: Powertrain Core Functional Objectives
• DFMEA: Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis
• DTC: Diagnostics Trouble Codes
• Lessons Learned
• Ensure all developed DVPs are reviewed and approved with the requirements and/or vehicle teams
• Develop and document DTC test procedures
• Execute all DVPs assigned to you within the allotted program timing
• Ensure all test properties are scheduled, built, and commissioned to meet DVP test timing
• Alert program management if timing discrepancies arise; escalate recovery actions as needed
• Schedule static cells, drive cells, and other laboratories for testing
• Ensure shared vehicles are scheduled to meet timing
• Support Dyno and bench (HV, LV, and thermal) commissioning
• Coordinate and support DRE’s to obtain unique test parts
• Ensure secondary equipment (control boxes, data loggers, wiring, etc.) are ordered and available on time
• Support lead DVE for all program specific activities
• Regularly report out testing status
• Communicate DVP test failures and concerns to the Lead DVE, DRE, SW and/or Calibration engineers, with documentation and data (CAN and INCA logs)
• Report failures and issues using FCA reporting methods (PITS, GIMS)
• Support the list of CRs, PITS, and GIMS that are reported and resolved through the HMS and chief engineering meetings
• Follow up on the issues with the owners to ensure closure
• Provide any additional data requested by the DREs or issue owners
• Compile all the DVP&R documents into a combined ‘glide path’ document
• Establish timing, track progress and document all test activities in the glide path
• Maintain documentation traceability (origin of requirements through DVP&R, through test report, through data)
• Perform preliminary assessments of the CAN database, .a2l file, and calibration parameters to confirm signal names, stress parameters, and monitoring parameters for all system testing to be performed
• Cross-check these variables with those identified in the VF, CFTS, DFMEA, and/or other system DVP&Rs
• Support all efforts to address RCA and PCA
• Generate and document new test methods and procedures to support product development and system behavior investigations
• Document and update all DVPs with procedural and criteria corrections, clarifications, enhancements, and lessons learned
Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Physics, Aeronautical Engineering or a related Engineering degree from an accredited university
• Minimum of 1 years of engineering experience
• Experience in high voltage electrical systems/components
• Experience in automotive/industrial electronics
• Experience in program/project management or as a lead engineer
• Highly motivated/self-starter with proven leadership skills with demonstrated ability to work in a team environment
• Strong verbal/written communication skills
• Experience in using INCA, Matlab, CANalyzer or CANoe
Preferred Qualifications:
• Master of Science in Applied Physics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or related Engineering field from an ABET accredited university
• Hybrid or EV development powertrain experience/ exposure or training
• Basic knowledge of FCA Global Powertrain Development Process (GPD) or similar automotive/aerospace program management processes
• Working experience with Microsoft Office applications
•Experience using Visio
