System DFMEA & DVP Specialist - Transmission/Driveline/Reducer

The System DFMEA & DVP Specialist for Transmission, Driveline & Gear Reducer is responsible for all facets of Failure Mode & Effects Analysis and Design Validation Plans for the Transmissions, Drivelines and Reducers at the System Level. They will work closely with other Propulsion System and Vehicle engineering groups which interacting with these systems, including - but not limited to -Product Release Center, Controls, Calibration, Thermal Management, Engine & E-Motor engineering organizations. The Specialist is responsible for development and maintenance of core system level DFMEA & DVP documentation. They will participate in the development of application DFMEAs, DVPs and DRBFs and will ultimately approve them for thoroughness and completion. The Specialist will participate in day-to-day problem-solving activities and feedback lessons learned to the core documents as a continuous improvement methodology.
