Assistant Chief Engineer - Transmissions

The Chief Engineering Team is the fully accountable single point technical contact for transmission and driveline products. This includes all aspects of product delivery for current production, new product development, or advanced projects. (the "what" and the "when".)

The Assistant Chief Engineer (ACE) is responsible for oversight of the assigned core program(s) as well as all integration programs. The ACE supports the chief engineer in directing a team of family (project) managers (FMs), Application Engineers (AEs), Design System Engineers (DSEs).

The CE closely collaborates with PRC managers, other CE teams, the DEVVAL team, and additional stakeholders to ensure department goals and objectives are met.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

• Responsible for meeting or exceeding program deliverables and functional objectives (i.e. cost, timing, efficiency, performance, mass, NVH, and CQI, 3MIS, EPUS, JD Power quality metrics)
• Oversight of all aspects of the transmission project for a given vehicle family (hardware, software, calibration, packaging, builds, validation, ED&D, DVPR, Statement of Work, Design Change Requests, etc)
• Technical Interface to Vehicle & PT Integration, AME, Purchasing, EE Core, ePT, Controls, Calibration, Quality, Suppliers and EE Systems
• Leads engineering teams to deliver prototype & production transmission solutions that meet vehicle / program requirements
• Reviews, approves & tracks the System DVP&R and supports the development of the component DVP&Rs
• Co-leads proactive Risk Management tasks with QRE Team (i.e. DFMEAs, DFSS, LUR, Heat Map, Reliability Demonstration)
• Tracks & leads resolution of all eCIMS/GIMs
• Coordination of all Trade off Studies (TOS). Must be able to complete proper analysis to recommend the proper proposal
• Supports Purchasing, Supplier Quality, and Engineering in the Source Package planning
• Leads program cost roll ups (i.e. piece cost, tooling, ED&D) with manufacturing engineers & SCIE
• Coordinates the execution of Performance & Fuel Economy for specific applications (AE to support tasks)
• Co-owner of the "Top 10 List" to address JD Power, CQI & 3MIS issues. Works with assigned Leads (i.e. Cal, Development, Engineering) to implement improvements
• Represents chief organization in high level meetings as needed (Steering Committees, PRs, MRs, IH mtgs, PC-prep mtgs, VIT mtgs, etc)
• Build readiness tasks (build fixtures, test fixtures, dyno support)
• Leads the technical reviews/evaluations and technical specification sign-offs. (Design Reviews), including EDP (Engineering development Process) deliverables and LRF.
• Leads the technical responses to investigate/action bulletins that relate to the technology.
• Coordination of Technical Cost Reductions (TCRs) and Benchmarking of RWD hybrid competitive transmissions

Basic Qualifications:

• A minimum of a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related degree field
• A minimum of 7 years of engineering experience in product development design and release
• Demonstrated experience leading collaborative and global team
• Understanding of typical automotive manufacturing and quality processes

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in an engineering related field
• Design for Six Sigma certification
• Excellent work ethic, organization skills, and communication skill
• Experience with Design Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (DFMEA).
• Experience with Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R)
• Experience with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
• Functional knowledge of Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project
