Job Code

(filled by Reward Team)

Rotating Machines in JLRC is responsible for the Engines, EDU, transmission and driveline delivery, launch and post Job1 quality support in China market.

The eMachine Lead Engineer role is within both the JLR China Rotating Machines Team and JLR UK Electric Machine delivery team, as part of the overall BEV Traction Engineering Group. Reporting to the Rotating Machines Group leader, the Lead Engineer would be responsible for the delivery of electric machine component(s) to meet quality, cost, weight, timing and functional targets. As eMachine Lead Engineer you will provide programme management leadership for the electric machine component(s) in order to ensure successful delivery of eMachine component from concept through to production. This will involve coordinating the design, development and testing activities. Further responsibility will be to operate in an Agile environment.

• Own the Design and Release of one or more eMachine components across various eMachine programmes.
• Ensure robust timing plans are in place that achieves Program milestones and targets (Quality, Cost, Functionality, Weight, and Timing).
• Develop a Product Design Specification and Statement of Requirements to support supplier sourcing and work with the matched pair through the component Global Sourcing Process (GSP)
• Develop and release component updates to Engineering Specifications.
• Ensure DFMEA, Design Rules, Requirement Management and Design Verification (RMDV), Statement of Work process/documents are diligently and transparently implemented in the design condition at the appropriate design maturity gateways.
• Lead issue resolution (AIMS/JIRA Obstacles/impediments) and Component Change Management (WERS), processes to ensure that all changes are implemented robustly and support programme objectives.
• Drive the resolution of cross functional technical / manufacturing issues using a Global 8D process
• Lead suppliers through design phase, procurement of prototypes, production tooling and ensure components perform to requirements.
• Ownership of Product Engineering eAPQP deliverable activities, status reporting and Smart sheet (Component Delivery Timing Plan) management.
• Support various prototype builds, source parts for prototype build and development of eMachine manufacturing processes.
• Key point of contact for the eMachine Component, working as part of the simultaneous engineering team to create a high value / feasible manufacturable design, using Agile principles.
• Take part in managing unit test plans, including detailed planning of test and development stages through to sign off and support Engineering test teams with rectification of issues.
• Ensure all appropriate JLR standards are met through-out design maturation and assist in developing specific or new standards.
• Focus on embedding Agile principles, methods and practices.
• Facilitating showcases to maintain in-Squad alignment and across Group or Domain as appropriate.
