* Work with suppliers to define optimum braking requirements to meet PAL targets and comply with internal and external standards.
* Generate and maintain all related BOMs in PLM/3Dx, ensuring accuracy of mechanical content.
* Produce and release component drawings to ISO standards.
* Generate component envelope files for the packaging team.
* Technical Ownership: Support component DFMEA activities to identify and mitigate potential failure modes.
* Own and manage component DVP (Design Verification Plan) requirements, ensuring timely completion of validation activities.
* Act as the primary technical and delivery interface to Tier 1 suppliers for foundation brake components.
* Manage supplier timing, quality, and cost performance.
* Support suppliers in meeting release deadlines and resolving technical issues.
* Parts & Configuration Management: Ensure all part numbers, revisions, and configurations are correctly maintained.
* Support change management processes and documentation.
* Build Support: Provide engineering support during prototype and production builds.
* Resolve fit, function, and quality issues in collaboration with manufacturing and quality teams.
* Ensure timely delivery of parts for builds and testing.
* Identify opportunities to reduce complexity, cost, and weight without compromising performance or safety.
* Support other aggregates in the business to achieve programme release milestones.


Knowledge / Experience

* Extensive experience delivering brake components from concept to production within an OEM or Tier 1 organisation.

* Strong knowledge of braking component attributes, complete braking systems, service implications, manufacturing and assembly requirements.
* Practical experience of rig validation test methods for brake components and systems.
* Understanding of how braking component design influences overall vehicle dynamic behaviour.
* Proficiency in CATIA with some CAE capability desirable (structural, packaging, FEA).
* Good all‑round engineering knowledge, including material selection, tolerancing, FEA analysis, component manufacturing processes, and quality control.
* Experience in supplier management and commodity delivery.
* Experience in parts management and PLM systems (3Dx preferred).
* Hands‑on build support experience for prototype and production phases.
* Demonstrated competence in DFMEA, DVP creation and management, and structured problem‑solving methodologies (8D, RCA).
* Familiarity with DFA (Design for Assembly) and DFM (Design for Manufacture) principles.
* Experience with other chassis systems/components at concept level.
* Familiarity with APQP and PPAP processes.
* Exposure to brake NVH, performance, or durability testing.
* Knowledge of pad wear sensors and their integration into braking systems.
* Experience in identifying opportunities to reduce complexity, cost, and weight without compromising safety or performance.


Benefits
