Powertrain Analysis Co-op (Spring 2025)

A good student experience is never hands-off. We believe in creating an environment where students really can learn by doing during their time with us and where they are given their own areas of responsibilities from the start. That’s why you are treated as part of the team from day one and are encouraged to bring your own ideas to the table. 

Interested in the mechanical and electrical functions of vehicle powertrain systems?

In this role, you will learn the ins-and-outs of our daily work by supporting the hands-on analysis, troubleshooting and problem solving of vehicle powertrain systems and components, such as combustion engines, transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, high voltage batteries and PHEV charging systems. You will be integrated into the Powertrain Validation team and directly mentored by an experienced engineer.

You are expected to collaborate and network with other Co-ops/Interns to support plant wide initiatives and Engineering. To be successful in this position, you must be able to balance daily operational tasks while working on several projects, willing to learn and develop new ideas, have a keen understanding of time management, meet deadlines as requested, willing and able to work in a fast-paced interdisciplinary team environment, and conduct yourself professionally.

·Support in troubleshooting and problem solving of powertrain mechanical and electrical components and systems, software, and function.

·Support in planning and preparation of vehicles or components for customer-based function testing for new vehicle launches and life cycle updates.

·Support of powertrain specific testing plans and activities on vehicles, systems, and components.

·Documentation of results from testing activities, summary of results and support in the management of topics.

·Vehicle and project data analysis, creation of processes or tools and basic programming.

·Optimization of test planning specific to vehicle configuration and vehicle booking with the Engineers to optimize the test and validation timing.

·Use data analytics and PowerBI to analyze powertrain specific topics regarding customer function. Reports will be used for targeted customer validation and for status of validation testing.
