Global Design Responsible - Fuel Systems

Stellantis•Auburn Hills, MI

14d

About The Position

The Design Responsible for Fuel and Urea Delivery Modules, Fuel Filters, Liquid Pressure Sensors, SCR, and PWM Fuel Delivery System Integration leads a team of engineers, including Development Leads and Specialists, in the design, development, synthesis, and release of Fuel and Urea Delivery Systems for North American programs, while maintaining global core responsibilities for related components. The role works with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, Advanced Vehicle Engineering, PCAL, and EE to resolve engineering and packaging issues and address feasibility and timing. In collaboration with Packaging and Advance Concepts (PAC), the Design Responsible ensures vehicle packaging and architecture support robust designs that comply with design requirements and best practices. The role meets design-release milestones and program timing, delivers related Key Process Indicators, and interfaces with purchasing on ED&D and production sourcing decisions. It also supports program launches and problem-solving, including in-plant build support, SQ production demonstration trials, plant yard holds, quality improvement initiatives, and technical cost-reduction ideas. The Design Responsible ensures designs are manufacturable and serviceable through direct interaction with Tier 1 suppliers and directed Tier 2 sources. The role revises designs to support different manufacturing technologies while meeting cost targets and quality requirements. It develops and maintains harmonized core documentation and standards, including PF standards, DFMEA, DVP&R, Functional Objectives, lab/test procedures, and design best practices. It is also responsible for program DFMEA and DVP&R documents and Design Acceptance Criteria; ensuring lessons learned are applied through feed-forward and read-across practices; establishing and maintaining standardization plans for key components; leveraging DFSS tools and methods in the decouples realm; and using reactive tools to address development and field warranty issues.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university.
Minimum 10 years of design and release experience in fuel and urea systems, specifically FDMs, UDMs, and SCR systems.
Excellent understanding of fuel and urea system requirements, including packaging and component- and vehicle-level functional objectives and requirements.
Previous involvement in three major launches.
Prior or current experience leading a group of engineers directly or indirectly.
Basic understanding of STLA warranty information systems.
Understanding of vehicle packaging, body, exhaust, driveline, energy management, NVH, and Aerothermal.
Reactive Green Belt certification.
