Job description

As an Advanced Emissions Systems Engineer, you will lead the concept definition, design, and integration of cutting-edge emissions systems for gasoline-powered Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), Hybrid (HEV), and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) applications. Your primary focus will be developing hardware and software strategies to achieve the stringent regulatory standards, including SULEV20, SULEV15, and SULEV10. You will serve as a technical lead, balancing cross-functional trade-offs between mechanical, electrical, and chemical domains to deliver an optimized, durable propulsion system.

Responsibilities:

System Design & Integration: Lead the definition and design of new emissions concepts, integrating hardware, controls, and packaging across the engine, transmission, generator, and aftertreatment systems.

Cross-Functional Leadership: Coordinate subsystems and lead technical trade-off discussions across different engineering domains to achieve an optimized system-level solution.

Project Management: Drive project milestones and workstream coordination using the Global Technical Development System (GTDS) to ensure timely delivery of project goals.

Quality & Systems Engineering: Develop and maintain core systems engineering and quality documentation, including Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams, and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).

Requirements Management: Define attribute targets and cascade system/subsystem requirements, functions, and use cases to ensure compliance throughout the vehicle's full useful life.

Requirements:

· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related Systems Engineering field.

· 5+ years of experience in propulsion or emissions system design and integration.

· 3+ years of experience with Systems Engineering principles and quality tools (e.g., DFMEA, Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams).

· 1+ years of project management experience

Preferences:

· Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering.

· Strong project management skills with the ability to coordinate complex technical workstreams.

· Direct experience with emissions regulations, compliance and testing.

· In-depth understanding of HEV/PHEV powertrain architectures and their specific impact on emissions (e.g., cold-start management, thermal transients).

· Experience leading cross-functional technical trade-offs in a high-volume production environment.

· Cross-domain familiarity with engine controls, mechanical packaging, and catalyst chemistry.

· Demonstrated experience with 1D modeling tools and methodology. (e.g., GT-Suite, MATLAB/Simulink)
