Overview:
You're passionate about a zero-emissions future and want to build something special. You want to own your space, but work with talented, like-minded people on important projects. The pace doesn't scare you; it excites you. Quality and integrity matter to you.

We feel
_exactly_ the same way.

Drive Forward. Introduce yourself to us and let's start a conversation.


We're currently on the lookout for someone to Lead and Direct our Propulsion Engineering Development Program as we bring our disruptive technology to market.


In this key role you will lead the team working in a fast-paced environment to design, build, simulate, and validate the future of highly automated driving from end to end.

You'll work on an aggressive timeline to define feature requirements, safety requirements, use-cases, and the performance expectations needed to meet functionality, safety, and reliability objectives.

Then you'll lead the team to build the technology and make it a reality.


Responsibilities:


You will:

  • Lead Application for main Propulsion Systems for EU programs (Batteries, eAxles, Fuel Cells, Hydrogen systems), coordination activities with global product development teams;
  • Provide technical expertise and coordination on powertrain requirements definition, design implementation and system validation (DVP)
  • Lead powertrain systems DVP activities and provide technical coordination between subsystems
  • Coordinate with commissioning teams to execute powertrain systems commissioning according to subsystems guidelines.
  • Work with validation teams to execute powertrain testing (bench, dyno and field validation)
  • Provide feedback to controls and simulation teams to develop and integrate new or advanced technologies for improving vehicle and system efficiencies, to attain targeted vehicle fuel economy and to understand and document impacts/tradeoffs to vehicle performance, drivability and powertrain durability (fuel cell, HV battery, Hydrogen systems and eDriveline)

Qualifications:

Additionally, the role requires:

  • 12+ Years of experience with Heavy duty trucks powertrain development
  • A strong knowledge of the firstprinciple physics behind vehicle dynamic performance for heavy duty trucks for FCEV propulsion systems (fuel Cell, battery and motor & inverter)
  • Firsthand knowledge & practical experience in MATLAB/Simulink and GT Suite/Autolion
  • Track record of having developed vehicle and powertrain controls logic for BEV/FCEV heavy duty trucks including transmissions, motors, BMS, thermal management and power/energy management
  • Solid understanding of system/component design/development processes
  • Experience with deployment of BEV/FCEV heavy duty trucks with end customers (fleets)
  • Proven experience transitioning a vehicle platform from prototype to production readiness
  • Ability to plan and manage complex projects crossing over many departmental lines
  • Effective communication skills, written and oral, to all levels of the organization
  • Ability to influence and thrive within a rapidly changing / growing matrix organization
  • Ability to travel regionally and internationally ~ 25%
