Vehicle DFMEA Engineer — Two-Wheeler Development Lead and manage DFMEA activities for complete two-wheeler vehicle development programs, including conventional and electric vehicles. Develop and maintain DFMEA from Vehicle → System → Subsystem → Assembly → Component level. Key Responsibilities • Define functions, requirements, failure modes, effects, causes, and prevention/detection controls. • Identify vehicle-level and interface-related risks across chassis, suspension, brakes, powertrain, battery, motor, electrical systems, wiring harness, body, and rider interfaces. • Conduct DFMEA reviews with Design, Vehicle Integration, CAE, Testing, Manufacturing, Quality, Suppliers, Service, and Program teams. • Drive risk-reduction actions, track closure, and escalate critical open items. • Link DFMEA outputs with DVP&R, design reviews, test plans, PFMEA, Control Plans, and engineering change processes. • Update DFMEA based on design changes, test results, prototype issues, manufacturing feedback, warranty concerns, and field failures. • Support lessons learned, DFMEA standardization, and continuous improvement across vehicle programs. Required Skills • Strong knowledge of AIAG–VDA DFMEA methodology, including structure analysis, function analysis, failure analysis, Action Priority, and risk mitigation. • Experience in two-wheeler vehicle development, vehicle integration, design engineering, testing, quality, or reliability engineering. • Understanding of two-wheeler systems: frame, chassis, suspension, steering, brakes, tyres, powertrain, electrical architecture, body systems, and vehicle packaging. • For EV programs: knowledge of battery pack, BMS, motor, controller, charger, wiring harness, high-voltage safety, and thermal management. • Familiarity with APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans, DVP&R, 8D, 5 Why, root-cause analysis, and engineering change management. • Working knowledge of PLM/PDM, BOM, CAD release, and FMEA tools such as APIS IQ-FMEA, ReliaSoft XFMEA, or equivalent. • Strong cross-functional communication, workshop facilitation, action tracking, and technical documentation skills. Preferred Profile Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automobile, Electrical, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering, with 4–8 years of automotive/two-wheeler product-development experience. Experience in electric two-wheeler development and AIAG–VDA FMEA training is preferred.
