Senior Project Engineer - Advanced Engines

Hybrid position.

Perform engineering activities on the assessment and development of advanced Spark Ignition engine system technologies using analysis and experimental techniques.

The Advanced Engines group is responsible for the design and development of Advanced Internal Combustion Engines and related technologies that are approximately 5-7 years away from production implementation. The focus of the group is to identify and develop innovative technologies that meet future emissions and fuel economy regulations, while exceeding customer expectations for the target market segment at a competitive minimum cost of compliance. Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) are developed for ICE Propulsion Systems and Hybrid Electric applications. The successful candidate will be responsible for specifying and balancing requirements, execution and evaluation of designs, analysis, development, testing and validation of engineering projects where a substantial amount of creativity and initiative are involved as well as a high level of independent judgment. The broad scope of responsibilities may include any engine component or system. The role may include providing technical work direction to other engineers and/or support personnel. Actively engages in team issue resolution and supplier leveraging. Will work cohesively with a group of engineers, designers, and other support personnel responsible for executing smaller portions of larger projects. TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead and/or support Advanced Engines technology with focus on Spark Ignition engine projects to achieve emissions compliance, efficiency improvements and performance capabilities. Engine development applications involve conventional and/or hybrid propulsion system architectures. Responsible for Advanced Technical Work with focus on reduction of Spark Ignition engine out and tailpipe emissions, supporting critical engine/vehicle programs. Responsible for the assessment of Advanced Spark Ignition Engines technologies which may include combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, egr systems, aftertreatment systems, controls and algorithms, OBD assessment, using analysis and experimental testing with multi-cylinder engines in test bench. Responsible for proof-of-concept of technologies through analysis and experimental work with multi-cylinder spark ignition engines focused on emissions reduction and efficiency improvements. Provide technical guidance to analysis, design, calibrators, and controls engineers in a collaborative team environment. Develop test plans for a wide range of advanced spark ignition engine technology assessments. Responsible for timely procurement, build, and design verification of advanced spark ignition engine components and subsystems. Interaction with suppliers and development partners to assess and develop advanced spark ignition engine technologies. Analyze and communicate test results to colleagues and management. Travel as required to support the business.

Demonstrated experience in the areas of spark ignition base engine architecture, engine system development, engine emissions, engine system controls and/or calibration. Demonstrated 5+ years of work experience in the areas of spark ignition engine component or subsystem design, analysis, or testing and related technologies may include combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, egr systems, aftertreatment systems, controls, and algorithms, OBD assessment. Mechanical or Electrical Engineering degree. Energetic and Innovative. High level of analytical ability where problems are unusual and difficult. Solid understanding of engineering theory and principles of operation of spark ignition engine mechanical and/or electrical systems. Must be able to create and present information in a clear and concise manner to colleagues and management.
