Tier 1 Automotive | Greenville, South Carolina (On-Site)
$95,000–$105,000 Base + Bonus | Relocation Available
This is not a maintenance engineering role.
This is a hands-on, high-impact design position where your GDI injector expertise directly drives new product launches for OEM and performance applications.
You’ll join a stable, well-capitalized Tier 1 automotive manufacturer that values engineering ownership, technical depth, and long-term product success—without the constant churn seen at larger suppliers.
If you enjoy seeing your designs go from concept to production, owning validation, and being trusted as a technical authority, this role was built for you.
End-to-end GDI fuel injector design & development (concept → launch)
Design Validation (DV) strategy, execution, and reporting
PPAP readiness and collaboration with Quality & Manufacturing
Spray & flow testing correlation (Baton, Loccioni, OEM methods)
Precision CAD design, GD&T, and engineering releases
Root cause analysis and corrective action for performance issues
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and smooth production integration
Engineering change management and technical data ownership
This is a true senior contributor role with visibility and influence—not a back-office design seat.
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (or related)
5+ years of direct GDI fuel injector design experience
Strong background in DV, PPAP, APQP, DFMEA / PFMEA
Proficiency in CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks
Experience with tight-tolerance, precision-machined components
Comfortable working cross-functionally and owning technical outcomes
Engineers from:
Fuel systems or engine component Tier 1 suppliers
Powertrain, injector, or combustion-focused environments
High-performance or motorsport engineering teams
If you’ve touched injector internals, spray dynamics, flow behavior, or combustion interfaces, you’re highly relevant.
Lower cost of living than Detroit, Chicago, or coastal hubs
Strong engineering talent community
Easy access to Charlotte & Atlanta
Excellent quality of life for relocation candidates
Relocation support is available for qualified engineers.
U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident required
(No sponsorship available)
