Transmissions/Reducers - Efficiency & Oil Budgeting Specialist

The Efficiency & Oil Distribution Specialist for Transmission, Driveline & Gear Reducer is responsible for all facets of Efficiency and Oil Budgeting for the Transmissions, Drivelines and Reducers at the System Level. They will work closely with other Propulsion System groups which interacting with these systems, including - but not limited to -Product Release Center, Controls, Calibration, Thermal Management & E-Motor engineering organizations. The Specialist is responsible for development and maintenance of core documentation related to system efficiency, oil distribution, oil level, service intervals, etc. They will participate in the development of application test planning and will lead the validation activity for this portion of the system DVPs. The Specialist will participate in day-to-day problem-solving activities and feedback lessons learned to the core documents as a continuous improvement methodology.
