Founded in 1876, our experience is rooted in the foundation of the automotive industry, and we’ve been a trusted partner serving some of the most well-known brands for more than 60 years. In 2019, we acquired PurePower Technologies, a leader in engineering and remanufacturing diesel injectors, turbochargers, valves, and other components for OEMs and aftermarket customers. Our focus today is in designing, engineering, and enabling solutions for our customers with our diverse global team. Headquartered in Jacksonville, NC, USA, we have design, development, and precision manufacturing facilities in the United States, China, India and a worldwide network of aftermarket service dealers and distributors. Position Purpose: Provide Engineering support for the re-engineering of Common Rail Fuel Injectors and Pumps for Diesel Engines Job Responsibilities: Lead reverse-engineering of legacy and competitor injectors: dimensional analysis, material evaluation, CAD modeling, and tolerance studies. Develop and optimize remanufacturing processes for diesel injectors, including teardown, inspection, reconditioning, assembly, and calibration. Develop and coordinate the validation testing for new product launches Inspect a sample of core for new products being evaluated to determine reusability and rework options for the business case Provide engineering support and drive cost reduction of existing products Investigate the scope and risks associated with a potential new product to assist in the development of a business case Evaluate core and develop inspection documents for sorting out core for use in the remanufacturing of High-Pressure Fuel Pumps and/or Diesel Fuel Injectors Develop specifications where needed for the assembly and test of the product Develop and track the DVP&R as part of the validation of the remanufactured product Work with manufacturing engineering to develop rework methods and processes to maximize reuse of core components. New business initiatives investigations Mentor junior engineers and technicians; provide technical support to production and field service teams. Define performance specifications and ensure remanufactured injectors meet or exceed OEM standards and emissions requirements. Minimum Requirements: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical, Automotive, or related Engineering field. 5–8+ years of experience with diesel fuel injection systems (common-rail, HEUI, or similar).
