Powertrain Cranktrain Systems Engineer

As a highly Prestigious Automotive Manufacture based in the Midlands - We are looking to recruit an Engineer into our Powertrain department as a Cranktrain System Engineer.
To define a component or system concept from technical information and the product development letter, then translate it into a design, which is taken through development into production.

Key Responsibilities and Tasks:
Deliver new or modified Engine System(s) into production whilst achieving:
Quality: Use Engineering quality systems (FMEAs, Robustness Studies etc) to identify and contain potential quality concerns.
Cost: Support EPMT in definition of programme cost targets and work with suppliers to deliver system that achieves these targets.
Weight: Support EPMT in definition of programme weight targets and manage CAD engineers to design system that achieves targets.
Function: Generate robust System Design Specification to define system functional targets and deliver components to meet targets. Support Test and Development team with DVP planning and execution, whilst ensuring supplier tests are completed on time.
Package: Manage CAD engineers to achieve static and dynamic clearance targets. Negotiate component change in other areas of our Product Development if required to achieve clearances.
Assembly: Work with manufacturing engineering to ensure that components can be assembled into vehicle repeatedly and within required cycle time.
Use tracking systems (with support from the Powertrain Programme team) to monitor progress in completing Unit Gateway objectives.
Define and manage a commodity plan for each programme including design and manufacturing lead times as well as alignment to engine and vehicle programme timing.
Complete Change Tracking Documents & Engineering Release Notices to allow engineering changes to be approved by the organisation.
Resolve engineering Concerns via the timing guidelines.
Present programme status to Powertrain Unit Gateways, support Powertrain design reviews, Package Meetings & Powertrain PMT meetings.
