Remote Design Release Engineer, Chassis Powertrain Mounts

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Mid-Level Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis Powertrain Mounts to own the design, validation, integration, and engineering release of vehicle powertrain isolation systems. In this role, you will lead the development of engine, transmission, and e-drive mounting systems (elastomeric, hydraulic, and structural brackets) to optimize vehicle NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), durability, and dynamic performance.

This position operates under a remote modality within Mexico but requires active on-site presence at manufacturing facilities and technical centers in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) to support launch builds, physical testing, supplier alignment, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Engineering & Release: Lead the full lifecycle ownership (concept through production release) of powertrain mount assemblies, structural brackets, and isolation components in PLM/BOM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Enovia).

• System Design & Optimization: Define dynamic stiffness, damping targets, packaging clearances, and structural integrity for powertrain mounts, balancing NVH characteristics, durability, and mass/cost constraints.

• Supplier Management: Direct Tier-1 suppliers through component design reviews, tooling timelines, prototype deliveries, and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) milestones.

• Validation & DVP&R Execution: Author, track, and execute Design Verification Plans & Reports (DVP&R), evaluating physical rig testing, multi-axis shaker testing, and vehicle-level durability/NVH results.

• On-Site Plant & Launch Support: Provide hands-on engineering support at assembly plants in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe during pre-production builds and trial runs to address build issues, clearance concerns, and torque-tooling interfaces.

• Problem Solving & Quality Improvement: Lead cross-functional root cause investigations (8D, DFMEA, Fishbone) for plant build issues, supplier quality defects, or field warranty claims.
