The Differentials Senior DRE acts as a driveline/Axles Differentials expert of all types i.e. Open , Mechanical (Clutches/Helical) Limited Slips (mLSD) , Electromagnetic/ Hydraulic Limited Slips (eLSD) and Locking Diffs. A s uccessful candidate will  collaborate with dynamic engineers to support the design , development, Validation and Manufacturing of both externally purchased and in-house manufactured Differentials and internal components such as Diff case, gears, Shafts, Clutch pack, motors, sensors , actuation mechanisms. This role demands a n in-depth expertise in Technology, Design / analysis, transfer functions, validation test designs, manufacturing processes for Differentials , gear technology, Axles architectures and Differential interfaces, sub- component interactions, lubrication flow strategies, efficiency, and NVH characteristics . Key responsibilities include leading programs and supporting engineers across multiple programs to ensure the delivery of a balanced, integrated, and validated system that meets stringent functional, performance, and durability requirements. The Differential Expert will leverage thei r expertise to optimize the designs and contribute innovative solutions for improved performance and reliability.

Job Responsibilities include (but not limited to):

Lead the design and development of Open/mLSD/eLSD/e-Locker Differentials systems, subsystems and components

Technical Support : Provide expert technical support to resolve issues and answer inquiries related to gear reducer systems.

Supplier Design Approvals : Drive approvals for supplier design selection through appropriate assessments and adherence to engineering best practices.

Collaboration : Work closely with key stakeholder teams such as NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), durability, vehicle dynamics, packaging, and manufacturing to ensure seamless integration and performance.

Best Practices and Documentation : Create, implement, and manage engineering best practices, including the development and maintenance of core DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DVP (Design Verification Plan) documents related to Differentials.

Continuous Improvement : Proactively seek opportunities to improve Differential designs, processes, and products through innovative solutions and best practices.

Technical Specification : Assist engineers in generating detailed system and sub-system technical specifications ( SSTS/ TTS ) to ensure functional objectives are met. Manage th e se documents to ensure alignment of requirements with the supplier base.

Mentoring: Mentor other Differential   DRE’s on make vs b uy trade-offs responsibilities and their role in the PSDP process . Clearly define and communicate the roles and responsibilities of DR E in the ownership of PSK’s , ensuring thorough understanding and accountability.

Total Warranty Cost Reduction : Identify areas of improvement to reduce total warranty costs and propose technical solutions.

Industry Competitiveness : Ensure the gear reducer's competitiveness in terms of mass, efficiency, torque, power, NVH, and cost.

Intellectual Property Development : Propose the development of intellectual property (e.g., patents, NDAs, EBPs) because of product innovation.
