Valvetrain & Timing Drive Design Release Engineer

We are seeking a motivated, self-starting Valve train & Timing Drive Design Release Engineer to lead the development of critical valve train and timing drive components for gasoline engines, including advanced cylinder deactivation hardware and controls.

In this role, you will manage the full lifecycle of component development-from design and testing to manufacturing interface and failure analysis. Operating in a fast-paced environment, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams across the organization (including Purchasing, Supplier Quality, Engine Plants, Design, and Parts & Service) and partner with external suppliers to solve complex problems, reduce costs, and drive product improvements.

Essential Functions

* Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Serve as a core engineering team member, managing multiple priorities while balancing inputs from a variety of internal and external stakeholders.

* Technical Problem Solving:
Resolve complex technical issues utilizing rigorous engineering analysis for components such as camshafts, camshaft phasers, rocker arms, valves, valve seats/guides, valve springs, timing chains, guides, and tensioners.

* Validation & Testing:
Plan, coordinate, and monitor test execution using core engineering tools, including DFMEAs and DVP&Rs.

* Data Analysis:
Analyze test and measurement data to synthesize data-based conclusions, author summaries, and present actionable recommendations to the broader team.

* Cross-Functional Liaison:
Interact daily with Purchasing, Supplier Quality, Engine Plants, Design Groups, and Parts & Service.

Note:

Some travel to engine plants and suppliers is required.
