CRFM Technical Specialist – Condenser, Radiator, and Fan Module The CRFM Technical Specialist is the technical owner and subject matter expert for the condenser, radiator, and fan module as an integrated subsystem across vehicle programs. This 8th-level individual contributor role is responsible for defining and driving subsystem strategy, requirements, performance, integration, validation, launch readiness, and field resolution, while ensuring alignment to vehicle-level thermal, packaging, cost, quality, manufacturing, and customer requirements. Unlike a component-focused Technical Specialist role, this position has end-to-end responsibility for subsystem performance and integration and is expected to technically lead the sub-component Technical Specialists to deliver the subsystem as a whole. The role requires broad technical judgment, independent decision-making, and the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams, suppliers, and leadership without direct authority. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in heat exchangers, airflow systems, thermal system integration, vehicle packaging, materials, durability, supplier execution, and high-volume automotive manufacturing. This role works closely with ETLs, Vehicle Performance Owners, DREs, systems engineers, suppliers, and cross-functional partners to ensure the CRFM subsystem meets customer and vehicle program requirements with strong technical rigor and best-in-industry total enterprise cost. This role is expected to operate as a recognized expert with broad latitude to solve complex, cross-functional problems, establish and improve subsystem standards and methods, and drive implementation of innovative solutions across programs. The CRFM Technical Specialist sets technical direction, owns subsystem-level objectives and key performance indicators, and delivers measurable functional impact through both direct technical contribution and indirect leadership.

Serve as the technical owner and SME for the CRFM subsystem, including condenser, radiator, fan, and all key subsystem interfaces across vehicle programs. Define and drive subsystem strategy, architecture, requirements, and technology direction in alignment with vehicle-level thermal, airflow, packaging, quality, manufacturing, and customer needs. Set and own subsystem-level technical objectives, metrics, and key performance indicators for performance, mass, cost, quality, durability, and launch readiness. Technically lead the sub-component Technical Specialists and related DREs to ensure coordinated execution, robust engineering decisions, and optimized subsystem-level outcomes across the full development cycle. Work with Vehicle Performance Owners and systems teams to decompose vehicle-level requirements into subsystem- and component-level targets and ensure traceability through design, validation, and production execution. Lead subsystem integration across condenser, radiator, and fan functions, ensuring performance, durability, packaging, airflow, assembly, serviceability, and manufacturing requirements are properly balanced. Drive virtual analysis with internal teams and suppliers to ensure subsystem performance, durability, and integration, including coordination of supporting CAE and simulation activities as required. Own and influence subsystem cost, mass, performance, quality, and
