Organisation in Coventry, UK
Coventry Engineering Centre has sole responsibility for design, validation and productionisation of FIE components for customers across Europe (CAT, Cummins, Volvo Truck, Volvo PENTA, MAN, Kohler, GM).
The organisation splits into 4 key groups:
- Application customer support functions, with small teams spread across Europe.
- System team which help support performance of the system (i.e. rail pressure and injector calibration).
- Component Engineers who ensure the components design and customers use of the components is suitable to achieve the customer’s requirements (performance, life, etc).
- Test team who are manage engineering responsible activities in our Test Facilities.
The teams work in close collaboration, in order to complete validation / investigate and solve customer issues.
In this role you will experience product design, simulation and testing. It will be necessary to iterate designs as the customer develops their engine, input into change point analysis to determine necessary validation, investigate returned components, make judgement on customer validation and take responsibility to create material to show why we have confidence to release parts to production.
DENSO has invested heavily in diesel and has 3 test rigs (to simulate engine and measure detailed component shot performance), as well as a component inspection laboratory (to measure wear and deterioration of returned components).
DENSO sees a strong future still in diesel for Off Highway and heavy-Duty applications.
Main Purpose of the Job
Hardware support, including design of customer application and supporting returned parts investigation for EU/Global Diesel customers.
Main Tasks of the Job
Responsibility for the design, testing and analysis of parts of the Diesel FiE system. Responsibility includes discussion with the customer (e.g. understanding of customer validation results, presentation of results), component testing of injector pump and rail, analysis/judgement, discussion with component design team and reporting to customer.
DENSO is looking for a highly motivated and talented graduate engineer, with good theoretical knowledge and a strong desire to contribute to real world projects.
Specific Responsibilities
Personnel:Will be primarily working within the Component Design team, with the opportunity for placements in our other teams.
Resources:Will need to manage own output/testing to the right quality.
Planning:Needs to be able to prioritise activities and be flexible in approach making sure that all activity is aligned to the higher-level purpose.
Decisions:Needs to be able to deliver required output, determined through alignment with team leader, with the minimum of input (good ownership). Needs to be proactive in reporting, exhibiting good communication to demonstrate alignment.
