Specialist Housing Design

Overview

Gearbox design engineer role focused on housing design and development for automotive transmission and e-drive applications, supporting projects from concept through prototype and series production.

What you'll do

• Develop conceptual and detailed designs of gearbox housings, covers, brackets, plastic deflectors, NVH covers, inverter boxes, fasteners and other components across gearbox variants using CATIA 3D modelling (surface modelling, solid modelling and product structure).
• Create technical drawings for components and assemblies, ensuring compliance with Design for Manufacturing (DfM) principles.
• Work on prototype and serial development design of gearbox, hybrid and e-drive components, with focus on housings and the parts listed above.
• Create technical presentations and tolerance calculations.
• Interpret and evaluate casting simulation and CAE analyses.
• Support testing of prototype builds and evaluate test results with the test engineer (e.g. lubrication tests).
• Apply FMEA and problem-solving techniques (8D).
• Support VA/VE related activities.
• Work within Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes (ENOVIA & SAP) and change management and drawing release processes.
• Maintain safe work practices, comply with Magna H&S requirements, and participate in training and hazard reporting.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's in mechanical, automotive, control engineering or mechatronics.
• 3 to 8 years of relevant experience in gearbox housing design and development.
• Expertise in CATIA 3D modelling (surface modelling, solid modelling and product structure).
• Experience in CATIA V5 and ENOVIA.
• Expert knowledge of GD&T (ISO / ASME).
• Experience in prototype and serial development design of gearbox, hybrid and e-drive components.
• Good understanding of gearbox systems, their architecture, functions, and integration within automotive powertrains.
• Knowledge of FMEA and problem-solving techniques (8D).
• Knowledge of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process (ENOVIA & SAP).
• Knowledge of VA/VE related activities.
• Knowledge of change management and drawing release processes.
• Knowledge of casting manufacturing processes.
• Ability to interpret and evaluate casting simulation and CAE analyses.
• Basic knowledge of hydraulics and electrification of gearboxes in automobiles.
• Experienced use of MS Office applications.
• Excellent English language skills, both verbal and written.
• High degree of flexibility and initiative with team orientation.
• Ability to work in a team, willingness to learn, quality awareness and independent working style.
• Proactive, solution-oriented and structured way of working, with resilience.
