* 5+ years of experience in design and development of adapter plates, hydraulic systems, and casting components for engine and transmission systems, with specific experience in the automotive PHEV domain.
* Strong proficiency in CAD software (e.g., CATIA, Siemens NX, or SolidWorks) for 3D modeling and design of both mechanical and hydraulic systems.
* Solid understanding of hydraulic system design, casting processes, material properties, and thermal management for automotive components.
* Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), CFD, and other simulation tools for design validation.
* Familiarity with automotive design standards, GD&T, and quality control processes.
* Excellent project management skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
Preferred Skills:
* Knowledge of electric vehicle architecture, PHEV powertrain design, and hydraulic integration in hybrid systems.
* Experience with advanced materials and lightweighting strategies for automotive components.
* Familiarity with DFMEA, DVP&R, root cause analysis, and fluid dynamics analysis methods for hydraulic systems
