Senior Development Engineer
We are supporting a global, diverse technology leader and the World's largest and most successful engine company. Our client leads the field in the design and manufacture of high-performance engines. Their continuous development programme, dedicated to furthering engine design allows them to offer one of the most advanced and comprehensive ranges of purpose-built diesel engines available today. Staying ahead in a rapidly changing world is vital and to achieve this they need ambitious, talented individuals who have the potential to create, challenge, and deliver global objectives.
The Air systems, In-cylinder and Valvetrain - CPPD team, is one of four component centred multi-functional groups dedicated to delivery of quality, on-time and cost-effective designs. The responsibility for the components runs from initial concept right through production to eventual deletion. Team members include Engineering, Purchasing, Logistics and Manufacturing all with the common goal of excellence.
Components and Systems:
Turbochargers and associated pipe work
Exhaust Gas Recirculation
Valvetrain components
Bore Honing
Piston and ring pack
Exhaust Manifolds
Intake system
Air Filtration
Oil specification and condition
In addition to the above components the team is integrated with performance and emissions, research and Tier 4 concept teams in the pursuit of the optimum solutions for the next round of emissions legislation.
The Role:
Work will focus on NPI (New Programme Introduction) activities. The role will focus on the mechanical development of diesel engine air system components from prototype through to production level, across multiple Company engine families. This will be achieved through the close liaison with design colleagues, CAE, Performance & Emissions and NVH departments and through the planning and working-level management of experimental rig tests and dynamometer engine tests.
Technical communication skills of a high standard are required, as you will regularly have to correspond with internal process partners and customers. You will have full responsibility for component/system functional specification documents, system and component DFMEAs, technical regulation documents, validation plans and design release and will manage suppliers technically to ensure the delivery of those components/systems to time, cost and quality
Requirements:
Engineering Degree and demonstrated competency
Direct experience of engine and component development and test
Good understanding of mechanics and thermodynamics CAE tools (FEA and CFD) and how they are applied
Experience of 6-sigma, APQP, PPAP and 8D problem solving preferable
Knowledge of engine components and systems, specifically exhaust gas recirculation, turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, and air control devices will be of significant benefit
