Air Intake System Product Design and Release Engineer

Stellantis•Auburn Hills, MI

About The Position

The Air Intake System Product Design and Release Engineer designs, develops, and validates air intake systems for internal combustion engine and hybrid electrified vehicles. Components may include low-pressure clean- and dirty-side ducts, air cleaners, make-up air hoses, resonators, air filters, brackets, and potentially high-pressure charge ducts. The engineer is responsible for assigned air intake systems at any stage of development, from early packaging through design and execution, to meet air intake system, engine, and vehicle-level functional objectives. The role coordinates CAD design, CAE, prototyping, physical testing, and documentation. Depending on program assignments, the engineer may support sourcing and coordinate and track supplier progress after sourcing to ensure part maturity and milestone completion. Designs and activities should align with best-practice designs and methodologies, including DFMEA and DVP&R, to minimize risk. The engineer may also provide occasional onsite support at applicable engine or vehicle assembly plants and support quality concerns, process change validation, and technical cost-reduction (value optimization) activities after vehicle launch.
