Posted: 12th July, 2025

Position: XHEV_FL_Subject Matter Expert Torque Path and Systems

Domain: xHEV- MHEV, PHEV, BEV

Job Type: Permanent / Contract

Location: West Midlands, UK/ Remote

Job Summary:

This role is responsible for designing and developing Propulsion systems and capabilities in the system engineering function layer at the logical and physical solution domain for the systems that interact with Torque Path and energy
management. You will be responsible for building and owning the generic system artifacts for new and existing Powertrain propulsion concepts, capabilities and features in the (xHEV Diesel/Gasoline) space ensuring they are legally compliant, meets customer attributes expectations and are competitive in the market.
Some of these artifacts are (but not limited to) customer requirements mapping, feature/capability definition, Use case analysis, Logical architecture diagram, Functional Failure Analysis, generic functional requirements cascade, test case mapping, target generation and issue resolution for Powerpacks.
You will be subject matter expert for the physical base solution within the Core system – Torque in Diesel MHEV and
Gasoline MHEV and PHEV applications, with particular focus in Torque generation/path/transfer and energy
management for use cases like but not limited to performance and driveability, thermal, durability, efficiency, NVH and
pollutant emissions.
your area will critically interact with other different core systems for which Special requirements for this role are a good knowledge and experience in ICE PTs and transmissions couple with mid/high voltage electrification systems (MHEV/PHEV), torque, electrical and thermal energy management, AND aftertreatment system and Gas-path, pollutant emissions and requirements in different markets, with understanding on strategy development, calibration and controls and customer interfacing through HMI.

Key Responsibilities:

Robust requirements and targets delivered on-cycle to programmes for the Torque Core system.
System artifacts (MBSE models, use case analysis, decision tree, LAD, FFA/DFMEA/DRBFM, DVP, requirements, standards) developed off-cycle and updated on-cycle as required.
New functions delivered by statement of capability (SOC) and Feature statement of intent (FSOI) process.
Robust design of Test cases and when the application is innovative, ability to design experiments (DoE)
methods and technical studies to confirm targets
Lead the analysis of complex data from CAE and physical test properties.
System compatibility Issues identified, reported and efficiently resolved
Ensure functions adherence to the use of specified engineering methods, computer tools and aids applied
Support indirect team members understanding of the feature or capability with your expert knowledge.
Participate and Chair when necessary technical reviews/forums and resolve complex cross functional issues.
Develop methods & run technical studies into future technologies.
