The Drivetrain System of a vehicle is a sophisticated, integrated assembly of components designed to efficiently transfer power from the engine/battery to the wheels, enabling propulsion, precise torque delivery, and optimal vehicle performance. The Drivetrain System of the vehicle also includes the design to allow for the control of lateral movement, controlled deceleration, and body control during operation. These systems are crucial for vehicle dynamics, fuel efficiency, and, most importantly, safety, providing the necessary motive force and control.
We are seeking an experienced and skilled systems engineer for the Drivetrain System. You will work with other systems engineers, functional SMEs, and Technical Specialists by leveraging advanced technologies to improve quality and efficiency for all programs. You will work with the team in executing full system engineering, systems MBFMA, and systems delivery.
