Tech Stack
About the role
- Lead the digital transformation within Powertrain Manufacturing Engineering (PTME).
- Break down traditional engineering silos by facilitating iterative, virtual assembly simulations that ensure every manufacturing station is validated and optimized before physical implementation.
- Lead the collaborative effort to ensure our workstations pass their Digital Job 1.
- Facilitate weekly cross-functional virtual working level meetings.
- Lead the digital assessment and 3D modeling of manual and semi-automated workstations from concept through final validation.
- Champion the digital milestone reviews and Virtual Build Events.
- Build and maintain Digital Twins in Siemens Teamcenter.
- Perform complex 3D simulations involving dynamic humans, machines, and robots to identify bottlenecks.
- Act as the primary interface between diverse engineering workstreams to ensure manufacturing strategies are holistic and functional.
- Drive the adoption of new technologies such as Virtual Reality and advanced simulation software.
- Support the development of global digital engineering methods and standards.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science (BS) in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing preferred).
- Proficiency in Siemens Teamcenter, Vis Mockup, and Process Simulate (Tecnomatix).
- Experience in a Manufacturing or Launch environment.
- The "Collaborative Mindset": Proven ability to lead meetings, manage conflict between competing engineering priorities, and drive groups toward a shared solution.
- Technical Mastery: Practical experience with 3D modeling (CATIA or similar), Ergonomic analysis tools, and Discrete Event Simulation (DES).
- Problem Solving: Ability to identify complex assembly issues in a virtual environment and develop creative, cost-effective engineering solutions.
- Resilience: Ability to remain effective and proactive in times of ambiguity and rapid technological change.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex digital data to non-technical stakeholders.
- Travel: Ability to travel to plant locations as required (mainly North America) to support physical validation.
