About The Position

This role is responsible for creating subsystem technical specifications (SSTS), component technical specifications (CTS), and statements of requirements (SORs) to achieve desired system performance and functionality, aligned with bills of material (BOMs) and bills of design (BODs). The engineer will design and develop Electrical Vehicle (EV) Charging subsystems and components using computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. Key responsibilities include engineering and releasing EV Charging packaging and routing using Unigraphics NX and Teamcenter, defining electrical interface control document (ICDe) requirements, and negotiating packaging issues with other engineering teams. The role also involves determining key characteristic designation system (KCDS) requirements, supporting integration meetings for EV charging components into RESS subsystems, and creating temporary work orders (TWOs) via the GM Engineering Change Management (ECM) system. Collaboration with BOM family owners (BFOs) for material selection, performing design analyses (DFMEAs, DRBFMs, DRBTRs), ensuring compliance with international regulations, and utilizing Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and design of experiments (DOE) are also critical. The engineer will monitor and update the GM Problem Resolution Tracking System (PRTS), conduct root cause analysis (RCA), and collaborate with CAE and Manufacturing Engineering on design for assembly (DFA) and design for manufacturing (DFM) principles. The role requires participation in various design and product reviews per program milestones and working with cross-functional teams to ensure timely and quality component execution.
