Job purpose

As a Mechanical Development Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and implementing the V-Cycle process for Mechanical Engineering (MEC) within eDrive systems, including electric motors, transmission systems, and integrated drive units. You will work closely with global teams to standardize and refine the mechanical development process within the Stage-Gate Model of the Engineering Development Framework (EDF). Your focus will be on ensuring that mechanical components are developed efficiently, from concept to final verification and validation, while meeting quality and regulatory standards.

Key responsibilities

• Tailoring the Product Development Process (PDP): Adapt and tailor the existing PDP to meet the specific needs of mechanical development for eDrive products, ensuring alignment with project-specific goals and performance criteria.
• V-Cycle Process Development: Develop and implement the V-Cycle process for Mechanical Engineering Components (MEC), ensuring that all mechanical development stages—from concept through verification and validation—are clearly defined, efficient, and in line with project objectives.
• Stage-Gate Model Integration: Ensure the mechanical development process aligns with the broader Stage-Gate Model, defining clear milestones, criteria, and deliverables at each stage to facilitate smooth progression.
• Work Product Template Customization: Customize, review, and release work product templates specific to eDrive systems, ensuring consistency and clarity throughout the mechanical development lifecycle.
• Role Definition and Clarification: Define and refine roles within the mechanical development process, ensuring clear responsibilities and accountability across the team, tailored to the needs of eDrive product development.
• Workflow Guideline Creation and Editing: Create, edit, and update detailed workflow guidelines that provide clear instructions for each step of the mechanical development process, with a focus on the specific requirements of eDrive products.
• Collaboration with Global Teams: Work closely with global engineering teams to refine workflows, templates, and processes for mechanical development, ensuring standardization and effective collaboration across regions and projects.
• Process Adjustment for eDrive Systems: Continuously refine and optimize the mechanical development process to meet the specific requirements of eDrive products, ensuring process relevance and efficiency.
• Implement and Roll Out the eDrive EDF: Support the implementation and roll-out of the tailored eDrive Engineering Development Framework (EDF), ensuring its successful adoption by teams working on mechanical development.
• Training and Knowledge Transfer: Take responsibility for training and coaching team members on the tailored mechanical development process, including the V-Cycle, Stage-Gate Model, and eDrive EDF, to ensure all teams are fully prepared to follow the new process.
• Process Review and Alignment: Regularly review the tailored PDP and V-Cycle to ensure alignment with organizational goals, regulatory requirements, and integration with other engineering disciplines.
• Gate Review Support: Support Stage-Gate reviews by ensuring all tailored process guidelines are followed and that mechanical deliverables meet predefined criteria before advancing through the development stages.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 7 years of related engineering work experience in an industrial environment.
• Strong understanding of V-Cycle process development and experience applying it to mechanical engineering components in product development environments.
• Proven ability to work with and implement Stage-Gate models within mechanical engineering projects, ensuring clear milestones and deliverables.

Preferred requirements

• Master’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience and/or training in APQP.
• Experience and/or training in DFM/DFA.
• Self-directed/self-motivated.
