In this position...
The Technical Expert- Static and Dynamic Sealing will ensure that the sealing function within transmission, axle, and drive unit products is delivered and function risks are mitigated using FMEA tools.
This role will publish and maintain design requirements for sealing-relevant components (gaskets, radial lip seals, liquid sealant, o-rings, flanges) and be instrumental in solving sealing-based failure modes discovered in physical testing or via warranty analysis.
Technical Expert- Static and Dynamic Sealing.
What you'll do...
- Able to lead technical discussions and deep dives to balanced conclusions.
- Understands upfront design, verification plan and methods, and industrialization process.
- Authors requirements, rules, methods in a manner that institutionalizes key learnings.- Author and maintain design engineering specifications for sealing-relevant components (gaskets, radial lip seals, liquid seals, o-rings, flanges, among others).
- Co-Lead technical peer reviews with component supervisors.- Coach, mentor, and train D&R engineers across all the global regions.
- Own the sealing-relevant warranty spend including driving best practices across supply base.
- Responsible (Owner) for the creation and maintenance of the Core Engineering Documents (FMA Documents, SDS/ Requirements and Test Procedures, etc.)
- Integral to Signoff of System/Subsystem/Component with specific signoff responsibility before Chief Signoff. What you'll do...
- Go-To for Problem Solving
- Launch, Recall, Quality / Field Issues, DV/PV issues.
- Conduct global supplier onsite reviews at component plants and recommend best practices for manufacturing process and quality control.
- Provide technical support to the Architecture, Core, and Applications teams for the development of sealing strategies.
- Develop and own interfaces with interfacing component/systems on boundary diagram including joint specs, device transmittals, and development of manufacturing processes relevant to delivering sealing function to powertrain/ driveline system.
- Conduct benchmarking to optimize component design for future programs.
- Provide Technical leadership to broader Underbody Systems engineering teams.
- Leverage CAE modelling capability to optimize quality, maximize efficiency, minimize cost, and maintain/justify design rules according to first principles.
- Create and Conduct training sessions.
- Leads Technical Design Reviews (TDRs) for System/Subsystem/Component.
