Responsibilities
- Develop lubrication strategies for electric drive units, gearboxes, differentials, and half shafts to achieve durability, efficiency, NVH, and thermal objectives throughout the complete vehicle duty cycle.
- Spearhead the design of lubrication system components such as pumps, filters, seals, and plastic injection molded items from initial concept to production.
- Create component specifications with comprehensive design requirements and validation plans that align with higher-level lubrication system and drive unit specifications.
- Collaborate with suppliers and our internal cross-functional teams to ensure components fulfill all design, manufacturing, commercial, quality, and service criteria, including on-site support during product launches.
- Document design best practices and insights to facilitate continuous improvement and streamline the product development process.
- Team up with System, DRE, Materials, Reliability, and Test teams to integrate lubrication requirements into design concepts, DFMEAs, validation frameworks, and design evaluations.
- Design experiments and testing apparatus to support bench, rig, dyno, and vehicle testing focused on lubrication system and component efficacy.
- Analyze field and experimental test data to identify lubrication-related challenges (noise, wear, varnish, deposits, leaks) and initiate thorough root-cause analysis alongside corrective actions.
- Draft clear technical documentation and reports, and convey recommendations and trade-offs to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.
