Senior Product Development EngineerPosition Purpose: Provide Engineering support for the re-engineering of Common Rail Fuel Injectors and Pumps for Diesel Engines
Job Responsibilities:- Lead reverse-engineering of legacy and competitor injectors: dimensional analysis, material evaluation, CAD modeling, and tolerance studies.
- Develop and optimize remanufacturing processes for diesel injectors, including teardown, inspection, reconditioning, assembly, and calibration.
- Develop and coordinate validation testing for new product launches
- Inspect samples of core for new products being evaluated to determine reusability and rework options for business case
- Provide engineering support and drive cost reduction of existing products
- Investigate the scope and risks associated with potential new products to assist in development of a business case
- Evaluate core and develop inspection documents for sorting out core for use in the remanufacturing of High-Pressure Fuel Pumps and/or Diesel Fuel Injectors
- Develop specifications where needed for the assembly and test of product
- Develop and track the DVP&R as part of the validation of remanufactured product
- Work with manufacturing engineering to develop rework methods and processes to maximize reuse of core components.
- New business initiative investigations
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians; provide technical support to production and field service teams.
- Define performance specifications and ensure remanufactured injectors meet or exceed OEM standards and emissions requirements.
Minimum Requirements:- Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical, Automotive, or related Engineering field.
- 5-8+ years of experience with diesel fuel injection systems (common-rail, HEUI, or similar).
- Proven expertise in injector testing, calibration, and root-cause analysis.
- Strong knowledge of CAD, GD&T, and analysis tools (FEA, CFD a plus).
- Experience with ISO/IATF quality systems and process control methods.
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
- Knowledge of APQP/Launch processes
