Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role

As a Design Release Engineer (DRE) for Active Thermal Hardware, you will lead the design, development, validation, and release of thermal management components and subsystems. This includes heat exchangers, cooling fans, shrouds, compressors, sensors, and associated hardware. You will collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams and suppliers to ensure robust, cost effective, and timely delivery of components that meet vehicle performance and integration requirements.  Specific subsystem performance responsibilities include impacts to coolant and refrigerant loop performance.

This role requires a high level of technical expertise, independent judgment, and leadership in managing complex engineering projects. You will be expected to drive innovation, resolve technical challenges, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across programs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead product development activities for thermal components and subsystems.
  • Develop and release components to meet requirements, Statement of Requirements (SOR), Component Technical Specifications (CTS), and Subsystem Technical Specifications (SSTS).
  • Conduct design studies, alternative analyses, and recommend design direction based on cost, total enterprise cost, performance, mass, timing, ability to manufacture, quality and part assembly process.
  • Define Interface Control Document (ICD) requirements and negotiate with interfacing components (mechanical, electrical, software, calibration).
  • Manage supplier relationships and ensure timely execution of deliverables.
  • Coordinate cross functional activities with Purchasing, Supplier Quality, Vehicle Validation, Calibration, Manufacturing, Technical Specialists, and Design teams.

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in component or subsystem design and release.
  • Strong understanding of thermal systems, HVAC, and fluid handling components.
  • Proficiency in CAD (UGNX preferred), Teamcenter, and engineering analysis tools.
  • Experience with validation planning and execution.
  • Strong communication and project management skills.
  • Ability to travel (up to 20%) and legally operate a motor vehicle.

Preferred Certifications

  • DFSS Green Belt Certification (Black Belt preferred)
  • GD&T Certification (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)
  • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) training
  • FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) training or certification
  • DRBFM (Design Review Based on Failure Mode) training
  • CAD/CAE Tool Proficiency Certification (UGNX preferred)

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Prior GM experience with thermal or HVAC components.
  • Familiarity with GM tools and processes (ECM, PRTS, ECR, SOR, TWO, GVDP, GD&T).
  • Experience with Development, Validation, Warranty Analysis, DRBFM, DFMEA, PFMEA, and GM Quality Chain.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes and vehicle integration.
