Hybrid: This role requires the Engineer to be onsite 3x a week. Time will be spent in both Pontiac, Michigan and Warren, Michigan depending on project needs.
The Role
The Advanced Engines group is responsible for the design and development of Advanced Internal Combustion Engines and related technologies that are approximately 5-7 years away from production implementation. The focus of the group is to identify and develop innovative technologies that meet future emissions and fuel economy regulations, while exceeding customer expectations for the target market segment at a competitive cost.
The successful candidate will be responsible for specifying and balancing requirements, execution and evaluation of designs, analysis, development, testing and validation of engineering projects where a substantial amount of creativity and initiative are involved as well as a high level of independent judgment. The broad scope of responsibilities may include any engine component or system. The role may include providing technical work direction to other engineers and/or support personnel. You'll actively engage in team issue resolution and supplier leveraging and work cohesively with a group of engineers, designers, and other support personnel responsible for executing smaller portions of larger projects.
What You'll Do
- Lead and/or support Advanced Engines technology with focus on Spark Ignition engine projects to achieve emissions compliance, efficiency improvements and performance capabilities.
- Responsible for Advanced Technical Work with focus on reduction of emissions supporting critical engine programs.
- Responsible for the assessment of Advanced Spark Ignition Engines technologies which may include combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, egr systems, aftertreatment systems, controls and algorithms, OBD assessment using analysis and experimental testing with multi-cylinder engine in testbench.
- Responsible for proof-of-concept of technologies through analysis and experimental work with multi-cylinder spark ignition engines focused on emissions reduction and efficiency improvements. Engine development applications involve conventional and/or hybrid propulsion system architectures.
- Provide technical guidance to analysis, design, calibrators, and controls engineers in a collaborative team environment.
- Develop test plans for a wide range of advanced spark ignition engine technology assessments.
- Responsible for timely procurement, build, and design verification of advanced spark ignition engine components and subsystems.
- Interaction with suppliers and development partners to assess and develop advanced spark ignition engine technologies.
- Analyze and communicate test results to colleagues and management.
- Travel as required to support the business.
