OVERVIEW: Lead the detailed design, analysis and optimization of transmission system. Create and release drive units in terms of performance, cost, and manufacturability for transmission components.

Functional Job

Develop concepts for geartrain related components to minimize part count, cost, and complexity in the drive unit
Design and analysis of geartrain components including rotating shafts, gears, differentials, torque split devices, spline, spring, botl,...
Design, coordinate, and execute system level and component level tests for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
Tolerance calculation for components and subsystem.
Risk assessment, root cause analysis and problem resolution for failures of geartrain components in validation tests
Provide technical guidance to cross functional teams (manufacturing, production, quality, supply chain and service) through entire development and life cycle of drive unit products
Work with Suppliers to drive process improvements and product excellence for high volume contract manufacturing
Work with other design and Test Engineering to develop and bring innovative technologies to mass production
2D and 3D modeling utilizing CAD software
Build DVP, DFMEA for important components
Control of BOM, CAD model and Engineering drawings
Sourcing, working with supplier to make the prototype & mass production parts
Build measurement guide for transmisison component.
Support to solve issue form production line
Build transmission assembly guide and asembly samples for development phase.

System Management

Ensure seamless integration of transmisison system with emotor and housings and broader EV powertrain architectures.
Establish and maintain simulation workflows using advanced tools like KissSoft, ANSYS to predict gear and bearing performance under various operating conditions.

Financial Management

Work closely with the procurement team to select cost-effective materials and components that meet performance standards without compromising quality.
Optimize motor design for scalability, ensuring low-cost and efficient mass production aligned with company goals.
