Responsibilities

• Define requirements and design, analyze, develop, and control complex steering subsystems.
• Design, engineer, and develop steering components and system math solutions that meet performance, cost, mass, investment, quality, and timing requirements.
• Collaborate with chassis engineers, technical specialists, engineering team leaders, and cross-functional teams to develop overall vehicle solutions.
• Use Unigraphics (NX) 3D CAD and TeamCenter to design steering components.
• Create readiness assessments before significant program gates, summarizing program status and key issues.
• Support development of system of requirements (SOR), component technical specifications (CTS), and subsystem technical specifications (SSTS).
• Support or lead technical reviews and conduct studies and alternatives to recommend program direction based on cost, mass, and timing.
• Perform steering articulation studies and design/package steering components to meet clearance requirements throughout suspension and steering travel.
• Perform GD&T stack-up studies and apply GD&T techniques to ensure components fit, form, and function when manufactured and assembled.
• Assess manufacturing feasibility and design components to minimize manufacturing complexity.
• Assess serviceability and design components for easy tool access.
• Support or lead product development teams for components and subsystems, including timing, parts lists, and design for manufacturability.
• Validate designs using analytical tools, including finite element analysis, modal analysis, and virtual builds.
• Collaborate with downstream design engineers to support sourcing and validation of components and systems for production.
• Release components and subsystems to meet system requirements.
• Participate in Vehicle Compartment Integration Team meetings to resolve packaging issues and use NX Motion for steering-component packaging studies.
• Coordinate with engineers responsible for interfacing systems and components to ensure vehicle-level fit, form, and function.
• Collaborate with warranty engineers to improve architecture quality.
• Benchmark competitor OEM steering systems and components; recommend program direction and develop ideas to reduce cost and mass.
• Stay current with new technology, translate lessons learned into best practices, and communicate information to internal and external customer organizations.
• Legally operate a motor vehicle on a daily basis.
