The VO Engineer – HVAC Engine is responsible for driving value optimization initiatives within HVAC & Engine systems under the Propulsion domain. This role focuses on cost optimization, technical benchmarking, system-level improvements, and cross-functional value initiatives , without direct responsibility for detailed parts design or CAD modeling.

The position ensures alignment between engineering, purchasing, suppliers, and program teams to deliver cost-effective and performance-optimized solutions.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead Value Optimization (VO) initiatives for HVAC & Engine systems within Propulsion.
- Identify and implement cost reduction opportunities (VA/VE, VAVE, benchmarking).
- Perform system-level technical analysis to support cost and performance improvements.
- Evaluate material, process, and supplier alternatives to enhance product value.
- Support cost breakdown analysis and technical feasibility assessments.
- Coordinate with Design Engineering, Purchasing, Manufacturing, and Suppliers.
- Support BOM reviews and technical change evaluations impacting cost.
- Drive lessons learned and best practices across HVAC Engine programs.
- Participate in cross-functional workshops (VAVE events, cost reviews, technical reviews).




- Support program teams to ensure value targets are achieved within timing and quality constraints.

Scope Clarification

This role does not include detailed parts design activities such as:

- CAD modeling (CATIA, NX, SolidWorks)
- CAE modeling (Matlab, Simulink)
- Direct ownership of part release

The role is focused on value optimization and system-level engineering support , not component design ownership.

Basic Qualifications

- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive, Mechatronics, or related field.
- 3–6 years of experience in Automotive Engineering (HVAC, Engine Systems, or Propulsion preferred).
- Experience in cost engineering, value engineering, or VAVE activities.
- Understanding of HVAC and engine system architecture.
- Experience working in cross-functional automotive environments.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Good communication skills in English (written and spoken).

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in Propulsion systems.
- Exposure to cost breakdown analysis and benchmarking.
- Knowledge of automotive manufacturing processes.
- DFSS Green Belt or equivalent certification (preferred but not mandatory).
- Experience supporting general automotive OEM programs.
