Powertrain product design: engines and gearboxes
  

These jobs are involved in the creation of new engines and gearboxes which fulfill performance and cost objectives while meeting technical standards for the environment. Half of DIM employees - close to 2,000 staff, of whom approximately 40% are engineers - work in this domain. 
 
The following job profiles are sought:
 

• powertrain design: engineers and technicians with general training in mechanical design as well as specializations in combustion, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, acoustics and tribology,
• design of electronic control systems: engineers and technicians specialized in electronics, automatic control, power assistance, computer science and measurement.  
    
   
  

Design and implementation of production facilities
 

Designing the production facilities for new engines and gearboxes in plants by modifying production lines. Production facilities must meet quality and cost optimization objectives. Over 900 staff work in this area, most on-site in production plants (France, Spain, Portugal). The profiles sought: powertrain production engineers and technicians specialized in robotics, control and logistics. 

Construction and production of prototypes

  
Approximately 400 people work on the creation of engine and gearbox prototypes which fulfill designers' technical specifications. 

Test implementation
  

600 people perform testing on prototypes and contribute to the final adjustments. To perform tests, the DIM essentially requires candidates to be technicians (Bac+2, Bac+3 or equivalent) with training in engines, gearboxes and physical measurement. 
 
In addition, the Powertrain engineering department reserves a certain number of positions for experienced engineers, either generalists, specialists or with experience in project management. 
 
The Powertrain engineering department also places emphasis on quality. This cross-functional activity aims to develop optimal work procedures for QCD (quality, cost and delivery times). Profiles sought are those of engineers and technicians specializing in quality analysis, assurance and statistics.
