Dana is a global leader in the supply of highly engineered driveline, sealing, and thermal-management technologies that improve the efficiency and performance of vehicles with both conventional and alternative-energy powertrains. Serving two primary markets – passenger vehicle and commercial truck equipment – Dana provides the world's original-equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket with local product and service support through a network of nearly 100 engineering, manufacturing, and distribution facilities.

• Partner with the ePropulsion product segment champion to define platform targets, priorities, and a continuous-improvement roadmap aligned with product strategy and customer value.
• Develop scalable system architectures and lead cross-domain trade studies that balance performance, efficiency, durability, cost, packaging, manufacturability, safety, cybersecurity, and reuse.
• Apply structured system risk methods, such as FMEA, HARA, and TARA as applicable, to drive architecture, requirements, mitigation, and leadership decisions.
• Own platform-level requirements and interfaces across domains, ensuring alignment from architecture through system integration.

• Lead performance, durability, and cross-domain analysis for architectures that may include high-voltage motors, inverters, controllers, thermal systems, and single- or multi-speed gearboxes.
• Initiate and coordinate CAD, CAE, and system-modeling studies for concept assemblies and subassemblies; use evidence to resolve interface issues and select robust design directions.
• Define and lead system integration and verification activities in test-cell, vehicle, or other customer-representative environments. Ensure results are traceable to requirements, risks, reliability targets, and applicable regulations.
• Work with Advanced Engineering to identify high-value technologies and mature selected concepts into integrated proof-of-concept prototypes suitable for platform adoption.
• Own system-level risk and change management. Assess cross-domain impacts, maintain decision and baseline traceability, and elevate residual risk with clear evidence and recommendations.
• Lead internal platform design reviews and support customer-specific design reviews so launch programs apply platform requirements, interfaces, and reuse strategies consistently.

• Provide overall platform direction to a cross-functional technical team without direct reporting responsibility. Establish clarity, build trust, create shared accountability, and align specialists around system outcomes.
• Enable strong, independent business-unit application engineering teams to reuse the platform through clear integration documentation, design constraints, and support for customer-funded customization.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering or related discipline; master’s degree preferred
• 7+ years of powertrain or ePowertrain engineering experience in any of these areas: system engineering, design, simulation, testing, calibration, controls, embedded software, electrical hardware, or product integration.
• Advanced knowledge in systems integration, mechanical design, product validation.
• Proficient knowledge of relationship-based leadership, full system modeling, systems architecture, functional safety, FEA/CFD simulation.
• Basic knowledge of embedded product cybersecurity, embedded SW, electronic HW
