Mechanical Engineer, Structures

What You'll Do

• Design and 3D modeling of mechanical components and assemblies, including high-pressure die casting, gravity casting, injection-molded plastics, sheet metal, fasteners, etc.
• Create drawing packages and manufacturing instructions for parts and assemblies
• Execute a design verification process and report (DVP&R) to validate requirements
• Perform topology optimization to balance strength and NVH objectives, identifying ribbing structures within the available package space to meet structural and NVH constraints
• Conduct sealing analysis with expertise in component hyper-elastic analysis
• Perform NVH analysis (modal, frequency response, mount mobility) and linear static stress analyses for complete drive unit systems
• Develop and maintain program-specific design failure mode and effects analyses (DFMEAs)
• Coordinate validation efforts between Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, control, manufacturing, and test engineers to take designs from clean sheet through prototypes and into mass production
• Assist hands-on in engineering prototype builds and component fabrication

What You'll Bring

• Experience with high-volume manufacturing processes such as injection molding, stamping, etc.
• Proficiency in 3D/2D modeling tools (Catia V5/V6 preferred but not required)
• Proficiency in hands-on mechanical integration, assembly, troubleshooting, and documentation of mechanical and electromechanical systems
• Proficiency with CAE analysis software such as Ansys, Abaqus, Hyperworks, or similar, including understanding boundary conditions and their application on various drive unit components to capture realistic interactions
• Proficiency with understanding loads and their application on various drive unit components
• Experience with MATLAB and/or Python
• Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analyses
• Strong fundamental knowledge of material properties and heat treatment
• Strong fundamental knowledge of statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials
