We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Mid-Level Valvetrain Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design, analysis, and validation of valvetrain systems within internal combustion engines. The role involves component-level development (e.g., camshafts, valves, lifters) and system-level performance analysis, collaborating across disciplines to meet durability, emissions, and performance targets.
Design and develop valvetrain components (rocker arms, valve springs, tappets, etc.) for various engine architectures.
Conduct analytical calculations for lift, force, deflection, and stress within valvetrain mechanisms.
Create and maintain 3D CAD models and 2D technical drawings using software such as CATIA, Creo, or SolidWorks.
Support FEA simulations and kinematic analyses to optimize performance and durability.
Participate in design validation and testing efforts, including test planning, prototype build reviews, and root cause analysis.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, testing, quality, and suppliers to ensure design feasibility and cost effectiveness.
Document engineering changes, conduct DFMEA, and contribute to technical reviews.
