<p>In this position...</p> <p>The Heat Treatment Manufacturing Engineer is responsible to plan, purchase, install, launch and maintain Heat Treatment Processes across various sections, including FWD and RWD transmissions, components, axles, and Electrified Powertrain, in North America. The role involves technical validation of material requirements on engineering drawings and the development of new technologies such as heat treatment, shot peening and automation (pack in / pack out). Additionally, the Heat Treatment professional ensures the standardization of engineered solutions for metallurgical equipment-prioritizing ergonomics, safety, and productivity-while providing critical support during manufacturing plant launch phases.</p> <p>This position provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to Powertrain Manufacturing Engineering (PTME) in delivering Powertrain Programs. The primary focus is to specify, purchase and qualify machines/tools/processes related to the heat treatment of gears for various programs in transmission, axle and electric drive units. The implementation of these processing technologies (machinery and related equipment) into manufacturing systems in powertrain plants will help drive global manufacturing competitiveness.</p> <p>What you'll do...</p> <ul> <li> <p>Lead/Support process engineer for specifying and procuring equipment and tooling for metallurgical processing (carburizing, induction hardening, shot peening, and laser welding).</p> </li><li> <p>Qualify machines/tools/processes and implement the machinery and equipment into mfg. systems in powertrain plants.</p> </li><li> <p>Work within cross-functional teams to achieve program targets for cost, quality and delivery.
