Advanced Gas Engine Senior Project Engineer - Emissions Reduction

Position Overview

Hybrid: This role requires the Engineer to be onsite 3x a week. Time will be spent in both Pontiac, Michigan and Warren, Michigan depending on project needs.

The Advanced Engines group is responsible for the design and development of advanced internal combustion engines and related technologies that are approximately 5-7 years away from production implementation. The team focuses on identifying and developing innovative technologies to meet future emissions and fuel economy regulations while exceeding customer expectations at a competitive cost. The successful candidate will specify and balance requirements, execute and evaluate designs, perform analysis, development, testing, and validation of engineering projects with a high level of independent judgment. The role may include technical work direction, team issue resolution, and supplier collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and/or support Advanced Engines technology with a focus on spark ignition engine projects to achieve emissions compliance, efficiency improvements, and performance capabilities.
• Deliver advanced technical work focused on reducing emissions for critical engine programs.
• Assess advanced spark ignition engine technologies including combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, EGR systems, aftertreatment systems, controls and algorithms, and OBD using analysis and experimental testing on multi-cylinder engines.
• Conduct proof-of-concept studies through analysis and experimental work with multi-cylinder spark ignition engines, focusing on emissions reduction and efficiency improvements. This may involve conventional and/or hybrid propulsion system architectures.
• Provide technical guidance to analysis, design, calibration, and controls engineers in a collaborative team environment.
• Develop test plans for a wide range of advanced spark ignition engine technology assessments.
• Manage timely procurement, build, and design verification of advanced spark ignition engine components and subsystems.
• Collaborate with suppliers and development partners to assess and develop advanced spark ignition engine technologies.
• Analyze and communicate test results to colleagues and management.
• Travel as required to support business initiatives.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience in spark ignition engine emissions, controls, and/or calibration.
• Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
• At least 5 years of experience in spark ignition engine component or subsystem design, analysis, or testing, including work with combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, EGR systems, aftertreatment systems, controls, algorithms, and OBD assessment.
• High level of analytical ability for solving unusual and difficult problems.
• Solid understanding of engineering theory and principles of operation for spark ignition engine mechanical and/or electrical systems.
• Proven ability to create and present information clearly and concisely to colleagues and management.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Engineering.
• Proven ability to manage complex projects to meet budget, timeline, and technical deliverables in a cross-functional team environment.
• Experience in providing technical guidance and effective communication with teams spanning engine design, analysis, purchasing, suppliers, build, development, and controls.
• DFSS Green Belt or higher certification.
