Job Description
The Electronic Throttle Control & Actuator Design & Release Engineer will be responsible for the Core Engine throttle and actuator components on one or more major engine families, including components such as electronic throttle controllers, Delta Pressure Valves, Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valves, and other electro-mechanical related components. This is a key position within our Core Engine Engineering team and the activities include developing components, managing and directing changes, facilitating continuous improvement in system performance and fuel economy, and carrying out engineering root cause analyses and corrective actions when necessary. The Lead Senior Throttle / Actuator Engineer will work closely with designers and CAE groups to optimize designs and will use the DFMEA to identify and rate risks and build a robust DVP&R to ensure testing is completed to reach reliability goals. The candidate will initiate source packages, hold APQP meetings during the development phase, order prototype parts, carry out and monitor DV and PV testing, and participate in post-test reviews including failure analysis. The engineer is involved in all aspects of product launch including component, system, engine, and vehicle testing, manufacturing reviews, development of service procedures, production launch, change management, and continuous improvement.
The Design and Release Engineer is responsible for the endtoend design, validation, industrialization, and production release of automotive Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) systems and throttle actuators. This role provides technical leadership across crossfunctional teams and supplier partners and ensures delivery of robust, costeffective, and safetycompliant solutions that meet performance, quality, and regulatory requirements. The role requires deep expertise in mechatronic systems, functional safety, and vehicle launch execution within a highly regulated automotive environment.
