Powertrain Integration Engineer

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

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.


Key Responsibilities:

  • 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.


Key Focus Areas:

  • Powertrain System Packaging
    (Engine/motor, transmission, mounts, and driveline routing in constrained environments)

  • Cross-Functional Interface Coordination
    (Cooling systems, exhaust, battery packs, fuel systems, and wiring harnesses)

  • Prototype Build & Validation Support
    (Assist build teams, resolve fitment issues, implement feedback)

  • Thermal and NVH Integration
    (Support insulation, isolation strategies, and airflow design for heat rejection)

  • Design for Manufacturability and Serviceability
    (Verify ease of assembly, maintenance access, and tool clearance)

  • CAE and Simulation Collaboration
    (Work with simulation teams to validate structural and thermal performance)


Qualifications:

  • 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).


Preferred Skills:

  • 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.
