Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, NPI

BorgWarner • Wilsonville, OR

84d • $115,200 - $158,400

About The Position

Join BorgWarner Portland (Cascadia Motion brand) as a Lead Mechanical Design Engineer, driving clean-sheet mechanical design programs from concept through production. As a proven professional, you will own the full mechanical design - from top-level system architecture to detailed component and complex tooled part design. You will be directly responsible for creating and managing large, detailed CAD models, with a focus on building robust geometry efficiently and quickly to support rapid iteration and design maturity. The BorgWarner Portland team is a small, highly agile group specializing in the design and manufacture of hardware for electric vehicle propulsion & industrial power systems - including electric motors, power electronics (inverters), and transmissions. In contrast to the complex structures often found in large engineering organizations, we operate with lean, right-sized processes tailored to our customers’ needs - empowering engineers to make decisions quickly and keep projects moving efficiently. With design cycles typically around a year, our fast-moving environment fosters innovation, adaptability, and strong team engagement. BorgWarner Portland has an extensive and international customer base, ranging from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to emerging technologies and startups.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.
• Strong engineering foundation with the ability to work with limited information to quickly solve problems and meet project timelines.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD with 10+ years on the job experience.
• Proficiency in 2D Drafting with 10+ years on the job experience.
• General understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
• General understanding of design and release of sheet metal, machined, injection mold and cast metal parts.

Nice To Haves

• Expert-level SolidWorks user with 10+ years’ experience and the ability to rapidly create complex parts.
• Ability to develop blank sheet GD&T schemes for complex parts per ASME Y14.5.
• 10+ years’ experience in the design and release of sheet metal, machined, injection mold and cast metal parts.
• Experience in the mechanical design related to power electronics, specifically motor drives and electric motors.
• Experience in the mechanical design of gearing including the design and specification of gears and splines.
• Ability to construct assembly level FEA simulations to analyze stress and strain in assembly components. Ansys Structural and SolidWorks Simulation preferred.
• Ability to construct assembly level CFD simulations to analyze pressure drop, thermal characteristics and electronics cooling. Ansys Fluent and SolidWorks Flow Simulation preferred.

Responsibilities

• Own the mechanical design and release of new products from kick-off to production launch.
• Effectively organize and plan to meet project milestones, while demonstrating exceptional effort when swift action is required.
• Communicate clear recovery strategies to ensure a successful path forward when challenges arise.
• Blank-sheet mechanical design of electric vehicle propulsion systems (electric motors, power electronics (inverters) and transmissions).
• Create expert level 3D CAD models using SolidWorks.
• Create 2D drafting sheets in SolidWorks applying GD&T to ensure design intent.
• Conduct peer-level and executive-level design reviews.
• Create and control bills of materials during the design phase to ensure the successful launch of your project.

Benefits

• Day 1 Medical Coverage with potential of no monthly premium.
• Dental, Vision, Life, AD&D, and Disability Coverage.
• Tuition Reimbursement Program after 18 months.
• Retirement Savings Plan (401k) with a matching program.
• Company paid holidays and vacation starting Day 1.
• Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) annualized target bonus opportunity.
