# Powertrain Engineer
|
|
|
|
Powertrain engineer work on the design of propulsion mechanisms across the automotive sector. This includes technical implementation of powertrain components, such as mechanical engineering, the electronics and software used in modern vehicles, as well as coordination and optimisation of multiple energy sources in the powertrain context.
|
|
|
|
## Core workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Confer with engineers, customers, or others to discuss existing or potential engineering projects or products.
|
|
2. Design, implement, maintain, or improve electrical instruments, equipment, facilities, components, products, or systems for commercial, industrial, or domestic purposes.
|
|
3. Operate computer-assisted engineering or design software or equipment to perform engineering tasks.
|
|
4. Direct or coordinate manufacturing, construction, installation, maintenance, support, documentation, or testing activities to ensure compliance with specifications, codes, or customer requirements.
|
|
5. Perform detailed calculations to compute and establish manufacturing, construction, or installation standards or specifications.
|
|
6. Plan or implement research methodology or procedures to apply principles of electrical theory to engineering projects.
|
|
7. Prepare specifications for purchases of materials or equipment.
|
|
8. Supervise or train project team members, as necessary.
