Senior System Engineer - Swaybar

About the role

AAM, a global Tier 1 automotive supplier designing driveline and metal forming technologies for electric, hybrid and internal combustion vehicles, is hiring a Senior System Engineer for its Swaybar program. Senior System Engineers work in a team to turn customers' visions into products using proven system engineering tools and processes, handling complex projects that need strategic direction, cross-disciplinary integration and testing.

Key responsibilities

• Support system engineering for performance requirements, architecture and interfaces of subsystems such as eMachine, EE hardware, gearbox, software, controls, actuation, clutch and others.
• Support system packaging, sizing analyses and design tools for selecting major subsystem components such as motors, gear ratios and sensing.
• Create test orders and specifications and coordinate with cross-functional teams to run tests.
• Coordinate with internal, external and global stakeholders to develop and validate subsystems.
• Produce engineering documentation such as DFMEA, DFM/DFA and GD&T dimension schemes.
• Use CAE tools and methods, supporting the CAE group with component FEA, data analysis and tolerance stacks.
• Support development testing (characterization, calibration, limit samples) and product calibration.
• Work with subsystems, components and services engineering to release designs and drawings.
• Lead engineering problem solving (Ishikawa diagrams, 8D, DOEs) and support cost estimation to meet BOM targets.
• Schedule and run system peer reviews and weekly engineering project status reviews, and help prepare project plans with the engineering project manager.
• Contribute to product roadmaps, continuous improvement, and lead change management, risk registry and engineering incident reports.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (or MS with 3-5 years of professional experience); advanced engineering degree preferred.
• 5+ years of product design and development experience, specifically in suspension systems, swaybar tuning and electromechanical actuator development (hardware and software).
• Extensive experience with swaybar disconnect systems, including integration, performance tuning and system optimization.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present clearly to internal and external stakeholders.

Required skills

• Proficiency in electromechanical actuator technology, especially coil actuators for suspension and swaybar disconnect applications.
• Knowledge of chassis components, suspension design principles and swaybar disconnect technology (preferred).
• Familiarity with recent advances in electromechanical actuators for automotive suspension (preferred).
