What awaits you/ Job Profile

• BEV Platform Leadership: Lead vehicle architecture, packaging and integration for dedicated or highly optimized battery-electric M1 passenger-car platforms, from concept through Start of Production (SOP).
• End-to-End Delivery: Own the complete BEV vehicle layout and integration maturity, covering high-voltage battery, e-drive units, charging system, thermal system, chassis, body, E/E architecture and occupant package.
• Battery and Underbody Integration: Define and converge battery envelope, mounting, protection zones, serviceability, ground clearance, wheelbase, underbody aerodynamics and structural interfaces.
• Cross-Functional Convergence: Act as the technical bridge across Battery, E-Powertrain, Body-in-White, Chassis, Thermal, E/E, Charging, Styling, Safety, Ergonomics, Manufacturing and Homologation teams.
• Digital Vehicle Integration: Govern complete-vehicle DMU, clash and clearance analysis, tolerance concepts, interface control, virtual build maturity and geometric release readiness.
• BEV Attribute Integration: Drive balanced achievement of range, energy efficiency, charging performance, thermal robustness, mass, cost, crash safety, NVH, dynamics, package and customer usability targets.
• Milestone and Risk Governance: Establish architecture deliverables, decision gates, integration issue resolution and risk burn-down, supporting an agile concept-to-customer development target.
• Technical Leadership: Mentor vehicle integration engineers and promote model-based, simulation-led and data-driven engineering practices.

What should you bring along

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical, Automotive, Electrical, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience: Minimum 12 years in automotive product development, preferably including leadership responsibility for BEV passenger-car architecture or complete-vehicle integration.
• Program Track Record: Demonstrated delivery of at least two complete vehicle programs from concept to SOP, with at least one battery-electric passenger-car program strongly preferred.
• BEV Domain Understanding: Strong knowledge of dedicated EV and multi-energy platforms, battery packaging, e-drive installation, charging architecture, thermal integration and high-voltage safety interfaces.
• M1 Passenger-Car Expertise: Practical understanding of European and global passenger-car customer, regulatory, crash, packaging and market requirements. Experience with a European or German OEM engineering environment is advantageous.
• Digital Engineering: Advanced working capability in CATIA V5/V6 or 3DEXPERIENCE and Teamcenter or equivalent PLM, including contextual design and large-assembly management.
• Leadership: Strong technical judgement, communication, negotiation and conflict-resolution skills, with the ability to align multiple engineering domains to a single vehicle architecture.

Must have technical skill

• BEV Vehicle Architecture and Packaging: Expert capability in vehicle dimensions, hard points, wheelbase and track, occupant package, front and rear e-drive installation, battery envelope, charging hardware and underbody interfaces.
• High-Voltage Battery Integration: Strong knowledge of pack mounting, structural load paths, crash protection, sealing, venting, thermal interfaces, electrical isolation, serviceability, tolerances and manufacturing installation.
