Position Description:
Energy Management Attribute Engineer We are looking for a candidate that can lead vehicle energy management development (including fuel economy, driving range, customer energy usage) from preprogram start to post-certification. Lead development and implementation of systems engineering to achieve homologation / label targets and customer energy usage expectations. Develop correlated CAE vehicle models to use as analytical start points to walk to future model years. Engineer proposals to achieve energy management targets, and work with interfacing engineering activities to ensure successful implementation. Lead vehicle testing and validation of subsystem performance on global fuel economy / range drive cycles. Develop timing and test plans for design validation work. • Lead the integration of vehicle attributes (Fuel Economy, Performance, Thermal Systems, Weight) on current and forward model programs from pre-program start to post-certification. • Ensure robust execution of vehicle attribute deliverables for program milestones and engineering gateways to ensure program content is compatible with attribute target achievement. • Manage interface between Program and Engineers, from the target setting process through development, verification and certification phases. • Lead development and implementation of systems engineering to achieve targeted fuel economy and other vehicle energy management objectives, while delivering performance DNA. • Develop correlated CAE models to analytically predict vehicle capability for attributes including fuel economy, performance feel, weight and thermal systems. • Develop energy management attribute processes for new electrified products. • Develop timing and test plans for design validation and conduct vehicle testing and validation of subsystem performance on various duty cycles. • Support vehicle drive events including preparation of all communication documents. • Champion attribute issue resolution plans.
