• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including:
• • Engineering specifications
  • Design records
  • Test plans
  • Validation and verification reports
  • Engineering change documentation
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), product enhancements, productivity initiatives, service programs, and reliability projects.
• Develop and maintain component and subsystem design standards.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, root-cause investigations, and corrective-action activities.
• Work closely with manufacturing and service teams to troubleshoot and resolve production and field issues.
• Analyze system and component performance data and recommend design improvements to enhance reliability and reduce lifecycle costs.
• Support testing, validation, verification, and qualification of truck components and assemblies.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and leverage technical documentation for training, knowledge transfer, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards, customer specifications, and internal engineering requirements.
• Take ownership of assigned engineering tasks and support project schedules, milestones, and overall program objectives.

Required Qualifications

• Strong technical engineering experience in automotive and/or rail applications.
• Ability to independently take ownership of engineering assignments and drive tasks from definition through completion.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of engineering design, requirements, documentation, testing, and validation processes.
• Ability to analyze technical issues, identify root causes, and develop practical engineering solutions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with locomotive, rail vehicle, heavy equipment, or automotive truck/chassis systems.
• Experience with subsystem architecture and component specifications.
• Experience supporting NPI, product development, reliability, or product improvement programs.
• Experience with engineering change processes, design reviews, and technical documentation.
• Familiarity with safety, regulatory, and industry standards applicable to rail or automotive products.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a hands-on, technically proficient engineer who can work independently, communicate effectively across multiple engineering functions, and turn a defined requirement into a completed engineering deliverable. Experience in rail or automotive systems is highly valuable.
