Mechanical Engineer - Transmission Housing

Functieomschrijving We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our fast-growing development team responsible for hybrid powertrains. In this role, you will play a crucial part in the design and development of transmission housings, ensuring they meet functional and manufacturing requirements. Key Responsibilities: Act as the Component Owner for the housings of electric propulsion systems. Establish housing designs that meet both functional requirements and HPDC (High-Pressure Die Casting) technology specifications. Develop components while ensuring proper interfaces with other subsystems and vehicle components. Coordinate the creation of 3D CAD models and 2D drawings, including relevant specifications such as porosity and cleanliness. Manage scheduling and follow-up on cross-functional engineering activities and tasks. Coordinate analytical and physical design verifications/tests, assess results, and prepare project reports. Lead a cross-functional team of design, purchasing, and process development for the component. Establish and maintain component requirements, aligning them with system requirements and supplier capabilities. Functie-eisen BSc, MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Profound knowledge of HPDC design and manufacturing, with an understanding of the opportunities and restrictions associated with casting technology. Experience in designing highly stressed mechanical components for automotive propulsion systems. Familiarity with project management principles and experience in planning and managing component responsibilities. Good knowledge of CAE and die-cast/mold-flow simulation, as well as PLM and CAD systems (e.g., Windchill, CREO). Experience or affinity with automotive engineering and related processes. Preferred Skills and Experience: Strong expertise in the analysis and design of transmission housing and its components. Extensive experience in the design and verification of HPDC components and corresponding manufacturing techniques. Proficiency in both analytical and numerical (FEA) simulation techniques.
