Advanced Engineering, eMotor Engineer

Mission of the Position

The Advanced Engineering eMotor Engineer will work in the advanced engineering e-motor group within pre-development. They evaluate new and innovative fields of technology and applies them to new applications in coordination with the Future Products and Serial Production Groups. The engineer will work closely with the global advanced engineering team, while staying connected and close to the North American product engineering organization. 

We are seeking intermediate to senior level candidates – level determined based on candidate experience and expertise in the required areas outlined below.

As an Intermediate level engineer, the engineer will work independently with limited supervision to evaluate, select, and apply standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria using knowledge and judgement to make adaptations and modifications. 

As a Senior Engineer, the engineer will independently perform a wide variety of complex/advanced engineering work to include planning, designing, and carrying out work assignments, often serving as a technical authority of the department with little to no supervision.  The engineer will mentor and guide less experienced team members.
