Engineering Lead - Advanced Exhaust Systems
About The Position
The Advanced Exhaust Engineering Lead drives the early development of advanced exhaust systems by translating emerging vehicle requirements into clear system strategies and architectures. The role shapes Hot End, Cold End, and Aftertreatment solutions, leads cross-functional alignment, and applies rigorous analysis to meet emissions, NVH, thermal performance, durability, and long-term reliability standards. The position provides technical leadership for exhaust system development during the advanced and concept phases, from defining system strategy and layouts to aligning technical deliverables with vehicle program milestones.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related degree field.
- Minimum of 8 years of automotive engineering experience focused on exhaust systems.
- Proven experience developing hot- and cold-end exhaust systems.
- Experience with automotive exhaust development processes, including DFMEA and DV/PV testing.
- Familiarity with exhaust system analysis tools such as CFD, GT-Power, and FEA.
- Experience with CAD tools such as NX, CATIA, or equivalent.
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree in Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Lead exhaust system development during the advanced and concept phases.
- Define system strategy, architecture, and layout for new vehicles.
- Translate early vehicle emissions, NVH, durability, and thermal targets into system-level requirements.
- Develop Hot End, Cold End, and Aftertreatment System layouts and geometry to meet vehicle objectives.
- Collaborate with vehicle, packaging, integration, NVH, and aerothermal teams to negotiate system packaging and resolve tradeoffs.
- Provide cross-functional technical leadership and act as the primary interface for early-phase exhaust system development.
- Lead early performance simulations, including backpressure, NVH, durability/fatigue, and thermal analysis.
- Manage system requirements and documentation, including functional requirements, specifications, technical reports, DFMEAs, and design guidelines.
- Scout, assess, and recommend new exhaust and aftertreatment technologies.
- Ensure technical deliverables align with vehicle program timing and milestones.
