Power Assembly Integration

Job Purpose

• The Candidate is responsible for integration and validation of high horsepower engine power assemblies for locomotive, marine, and large industrial platforms for new and MRO engines.
• The role ensures that the engine power assembly (block, rotating assembly, valvetrain, lubrication, cooling, and auxiliaries) is robustly integrated into the customer system, meeting performance, durability, emissions, packaging, and serviceability requirements.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Own application and system integration of HHP engine power assemblies across platforms
• Ensure robust mechanical integration of block, cranktrain, cylinder head, lubrication, and cooling systems
• Translate customer duty cycles and operating conditions into application requirements
• Support NPD phases from concept, architecture definition, design freeze, to production launch
• Define and manage power assembly interfaces with drivetrain, mounting, cooling, and auxiliaries
• Deep Understand on MRO and serviceable life of the parts and assemblies
• Drive performance, durability, and reliability validation for applied engines
• Lead or support root cause analysis of power assembly and field issues
• Ensure compliance with emissions, durability, and safety requirements (locomotive/marine standards)
• Collaborate with design, validation, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers
• Drive DFMEA, risk mitigation, and early issue identification
• Capture and deploy lessons learned into new designs and variants
• Contribute to cost, weight, and serviceability optimization initiatives
• Mentor junior engineers and strengthen application engineering capability

Soft Skills

• Strong system‑level and application thinking
• Ability to translate customer needs into engineering requirements
• Clear and confident technical communication with customers and internal teams
• Structured problem‑solving and analytical mindset
• Ownership and accountability for end‑to‑end application success
• Ability to work effectively in cross‑functional, matrix organizations
• Decision‑making under time, cost, and performance constraints
• Stakeholder management and conflict resolution
• Mentoring and capability building of junior engineers
• Adaptability to demanding NPD and field environments

Qualification

B.E./B. Tech or M.E./M. Tech – Mechanical Engineering

Experience

10 – 15 years

Preference

• Experience with global HHP engine OEMs or Tier‑1 suppliers
• Exposure to locomotive, marine propulsion, or large industrial engines
• Experience with emissions transition programs (Tier 4 / IMO)
• Already employed in Indian Railways would be added advantage
