The Mid-Level Powertrain Integration Engineer is responsible for leading system-level integration of powertrain components into the vehicle platform. This role ensures cohesive interaction between the engine/motor, transmission, driveline, cooling, and mounting systems, while addressing requirements related to performance, packaging, manufacturability, durability, and serviceability. The engineer plays a central role in design reviews, cross-functional coordination, and issue resolution throughout the product development cycle.
Lead powertrain packaging and integration efforts from concept through production.
Develop and maintain powertrain system layout, clearances, and interface documentation.
Ensure physical and functional compatibility of powertrain components with vehicle systems (chassis, body, electrical, thermal, etc.).
Support and resolve integration issues during prototype builds and validation testing.
Collaborate with design, CAE, manufacturing, and validation teams to refine system interfaces.
Ensure compliance with NVH, thermal, serviceability, and safety requirements.
Conduct and participate in DFMEA, DVP&R, and design reviews.
Manage design changes and track system-level integration status.
Powertrain System Packaging
(Engine/motor, transmission, mounts, and driveline routing in constrained environments)
Cross-Functional Interface Coordination

CAE and Simulation Collaboration
(Work with simulation teams to validate structural and thermal performance)
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, or Mechatronics Engineering (Master’s preferred).
3–7 years of experience in automotive powertrain or vehicle systems integration.
Proficient in 3D CAD tools (CATIA, NX, or similar).
Solid understanding of ICE, hybrid, and/or electric powertrain components and systems.
Experience with prototype builds, issue tracking, and root cause analysis.
Familiarity with design validation tools (DFMEA, DVP&R, BOMs).
Experience in EV or hybrid powertrain integration.
Knowledge of vehicle development lifecycle and gateway reviews.
Understanding of regulatory standards for emissions, safety, and noise.
Hands-on experience in testing, benchmarking, or supplier coordination.
