Own axle validation programs covering durability, performance, bench, and structural testing. Analyze test data, correlate RLDA and CAE results, investigate failures, perform root-cause analysis, and recommend engineering improvements. Coordinate suppliers, laboratories, test agencies, and global engineering teams while applying reliability methods and statistical tools to improve validation processes and axle product quality.

Leads design and development of cabin suspension and mounting systems for commercial or passenger vehicles. Creates component and assembly concepts, requirements, drawings, and documentation; coordinates suppliers and cross-functional teams; manages development projects, testing, validation, release decisions, and design issue resolution. Uses UG NX, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFMEA, DVP, manufacturing-process knowledge, and cost-reduction methods while ensuring regulatory, quality, cost, and timeline targets.

Develops and implements cybersecurity for automotive telematics, vehicle systems, OTA updates, and connected-cloud infrastructure. Responsibilities include TARA, attack-path analysis, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, secure communications, CSMS and SUMS implementation, embedded security, and compliance documentation for AIS 189 and 190. The role also supports technology strategy, product roadmaps, innovation workshops, proof-of-concepts, business cases, stakeholder management, and cybersecurity capability development.

Lead the development, integration, testing, and validation of engine mechanical systems, including transmission and clutch components. Manage development workflows, technical reviews, validation plans, failure analysis, and cross-functional issue resolution. Perform engineering calculations and FEA for structural integrity, fatigue, thermal, and vibration performance. Resolve field and production issues, improve durability and quality, and drive cost and performance optimization across engine products.

Designs robust, lightweight, manufacturable frame attachments and structural safety components for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, engineering drawings, packaging, structural and fatigue assessments, regulatory compliance, weight and cost optimization, platform standardization, supplier and manufacturing collaboration, prototype validation, homologation support, field-failure investigation, and corrective action implementation.

Develop and validate HMI software, automotive network management, ASAM, CGW, and OTA/FOTA functionality for commercial vehicles. Responsibilities include software integration, debugging, architecture, verification, functional safety compliance under ISO 26262, cybersecurity activities, diagnostics, and issue resolution. The role collaborates with global engineering teams and suppliers while supporting product quality, reliability, and performance targets.

Define and optimize project management processes, methods, and tools within Product Engineering. Analyze process-performance data, identify inefficiencies, implement continuous improvements, and collaborate with stakeholders on process changes. Use digital and AI tools to improve efficiency, conduct audits, and ensure process adoption. The role requires project management expertise, automotive or commercial vehicle experience, analytical problem-solving, stakeholder communication, and a commitment to operational excellence.

Owns technical application profiles, use cases, requirements, roadmaps, and target values for commercial vehicle applications. Translates customer and market needs into engineering requirements, assesses technical feasibility across vehicle modules, aligns cross-functional development teams, and supports future product concepts. Collaborates with Product Management, Sales, customers, and international engineering stakeholders while monitoring market trends and competitive solutions.

Leads commercial vehicle durability and reliability validation programs, including on-road and proving-ground testing. Coordinates vehicle preparation, instrumentation, test execution, data analysis, failure investigation, root-cause support, reporting, and stakeholder alignment. Manages test vehicles, parts, documentation, timelines, and validation standards while collaborating with design, quality, suppliers, and global engineering teams. Supports benchmarking and new product rollouts and travels to testing sites and customer locations.

Develop and implement a Total Quality Management (TQM) strategy in R&D, focusing on process improvement, culture initiatives, training, and cross-functional collaboration.
