We are seeking a motivated Junior Valvetrain Mechanical Engineer to support the development and testing of valvetrain components used in internal combustion engines and hybrid powertrains. This entry-level role provides hands-on experience with valve train systems, component design, engine dynamics, and manufacturing interfaces. You’ll work alongside senior engineers to ensure high-performance, durable, and cost-effective valvetrain solutions.
Assist in the design, modeling, and drafting of valvetrain components including camshafts, rocker arms, lifters, valve springs, and followers.
Support 3D CAD modeling and 2D drawing generation using tools such as CATIA, Creo, or SolidWorks.
Conduct basic engineering calculations (e.g., spring loads, lift profiles, clearances).
Collaborate with testing teams on prototype builds, component testing, and data analysis.
Help in preparing technical documentation, reports, and Bill of Materials (BOMs).
Participate in design reviews, component inspections, and manufacturing feasibility discussions.
Follow engineering best practices in tolerance stack-ups, GD&T, and documentation standards.
