7. Concept Development: Innovate by developing alternative concepts and providing support or performing trade study analyses.
8. Component and Subsystem Integration: Design, select, and integrate mobility components and subsystems for seamless functionality.
9. Attribute Allocations: Track and manage weight, cost, thermal, power, and other attribute allocations.
10. Technical Documentation: Develop and maintain Technical Data Packages (TDPs) and release drawings according to the Engineering Release Plan (ERP).
11. Proposal Preparation: Prepare essential documents, including Statement of Work (SOW), Critical Item Development Specification (CIDS), Interface Control Document (ICD), and Source Selection Plan (SSP) for Request for Proposals (RFPs).
12. Supplier Management: Manage supplier design development progress, technical action item lists, and communication, including virtual and on-site interface with suppliers.
13. Technical Oversight: Provide technical oversight and direction to suppliers during design development and validation, ensuring compliance with performance, test, and design requirements.
14. Technical Reporting: Prepare comprehensive technical reports and proposals, presenting at formal Design Reviews.
15. Laboratory Engineering Evaluations: Conduct engineering evaluations in a laboratory environment.
16. Issue Resolution: Investigate, respond to, and implement corrective action for production, supplier, or field issues.
17. Prototype Support: Support prototype builds, create test plans, execute tests, and generate test reports to validate designs, mitigate risks, and troubleshoot problems.
18. Collaboration: Collaborate with other engineering disciplines, exchanging technical information, and providing direction to designers and prototype shop personnel.

Requirements:

1. Educational Background: Bachelor's Degree in a relevant Engineering Discipline; Master's degree viewed favorably.
2. Professional Experience: 5 years of Powertrain engineering experience, with a significant focus on 3 years of relevant Hybrid Electric or Electric Powertrain experience (PHEV, HEV, or EV).
3. Skills and Abilities:

• Perform preliminary design and analysis.
• Work effectively in an Integrated Product Team environment, communicating across functional organizations.
• Troubleshoot vehicle subsystems and perform failure analysis.
• Write technical reports and modification instructions.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications.

Additional Information / Desired Experience:

1. Security Clearance: This position may require eligibility to obtain a US security clearance (Non-US Citizens may not be eligible).
2. Ground Combat Vehicles: Previous experience working on ground combat vehicles is desired.
3. Physical Requirements: Ability to climb on/off, work in, and around military vehicles is desired. Must be able to pass ASR test (Anthropometric Size Requirement for confined space).
4. Flexibility: Must be able to work occasional evening and/or weekend overtime as required.
5. Standards and Test Requirements: Familiarity with military standards and test requirements is desired.
6. Travel: Occasional travel to test sites may be required.
