Job Description

DESCRIPTIONKey Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of braking system components, such as relay valves, quick release valves, ABS valves, and air modulator valves used in ABS/EBS systems.
• Participate in DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report), and test reviews to support the product development process and ensure high product quality.
• Perform mechanical calculations, including GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), stack-up tolerances, material selection, and manufacturing methods (e.g., plastic injection molding, aluminum die casting).
• Create 3D models and 2D drawings for braking system components using Creo/Creo Simulate.
• Conduct testing at the component level for validation and verification of designs, ensuring compliance with functional requirements and performance expectations.
• Utilize simulation tools to model, simulate, and analyze braking system performance to make informed design decisions.
• Collaborate with stakeholders, including technical managers, project leaders, product engineers, and suppliers, to ensure designs meet customer and regulatory requirements.
• Lead smaller projects or components with greater ambiguity, ensuring accountability and driving project execution to meet timelines and quality standards.
• Assist less-experienced engineers, coordinate work with technicians, and transfer knowledge to support team development and project success.

RESPONSIBILITIESQualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related STEM field (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, etc.) is required.
• A Master's degree may be required for select roles.
• Relevant experience in braking systems, electro-mechanical design, and system validation is essential.
• This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.

Competencies:

• Product Development Execution, Monitoring, and Control : Ability to plan, schedule, and execute product development activities while ensuring product capability meets or exceeds expectations.
• Product Failure Mode Avoidance : Identify potential failure modes and implement strategies to improve product reliability.
• Product Function Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis : Use simulation tools to predict and validate product performance across system, sub-system, and component levels.
• Product Interface Management and Integration : Ensure seamless integration of system elements by specifying requirements and controlling interactions across system boundaries.
• Product Problem Solving : Apply problem-solving techniques to determine root causes, implement solutions, and prevent recurrence of issues.
• Product Verification and Validation Management : Develop validation plans, manage product risk, and evaluate test results to verify product capability.
• Technical Documentation : Create and communicate clear technical documentation to stakeholders, enabling improved productivity and knowledge transfer.
• Mechanical Design : Apply an in-depth understanding of mechanical systems to design innovative and reliable solutions for braking systems.

QUALIFICATIONSSkills:

• Strong experience in Creo and Creo Simulate for 3D modeling and component design.
• Proficiency with Vector CAN diagnostic tools (e.g., Vector CANoe, CANape, CANalyzer) for system testing and validation is a plus.
• Knowledge of braking system components , particularly related to ABS/EBS systems, and pneumatic valve design.
• Expertise in GD&T , material selection, and manufacturing methods, including injection molding and die casting.
• Ability to apply Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) processes.
• Strong understanding of system-level integration and performance validation for braking systems.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across teams and influence technical decisions.

Experience:

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in product development, particularly with braking systems or related components.
• Proven experience in designing braking valves such as relay valves, quick release valves, ABS valves, and air modulator valves used in ABS/EBS systems.
• Experience using simulation tools like Creo Simulate for mechanical design and performance analysis.
• Experience with testing and validation of braking system components at the component level.
• Experience in electro-mechanical design is a plus.
• Familiarity with steering system design and its integration with braking systems is an advantage.
