Mechanical Engineer - Electric Vehicle

Expected activity, deliverables, accountability

Design & Planning:

• Translate product requirements into a high-level motorcycle concept and detailed specifications across different engineering streams.
• Define timeline, milestones, and deliverables for all streams (entire assembly, sub-assembly, parts, and components).
• Evaluate and analyze engineering calculations on simulation software, draft configuration settings, and assess the manufacturability of prototype design.
• Key deliverables include Detailed Engineering Design (DED).
• Generate styling options that are aligned with product requirements, target market segment, and brand identity

Prototyping:

• Converting DED to technical drawing, creating a playbook that includes fabrication work instructions and component-level quality checking.
• Create assembly and subassembly playbook
• Work with procurement team to source components and raw materials
• Monitor and quality checking: check if fabrication matches engineering specs.
• Execute component-level quality checking, implement root-cause analysis of No-GO component, generate deviation report, and update fabrication work instructions
• Assembling each component to sub-assemblies and sub-assemblies to the entire assembly
• Deliver motorcycle prototype and technical specifications of motorcycle prototype
• Prototype evaluation, engineering correction, and troubleshooting
• Review technical specs and quality checks based on DED and technical regulations related to motorcycle systems
• Designing, reviewing, and executing a series of engineering tests for reliability, manufacturability, and riding experience (dynamics, human-machine interaction, interface, etc.)
• Engineering correction and troubleshooting. Review prototype evaluation and generate a report of any corrective and preventive action necessary to discuss with the product lifecycle management team
• Design for production: collecting all related engineering data, playbook, and reports.
• Work with the manufacturing engineering team to generate updated DED, drawings, and instructions to be used for manufacturing purposes
