Job description

Vehicle Intelligence Engineer Role in Mobility/Vehicle Technology Group India will own the full lifecycle of technology scouting, concept design, 3D modelling, prototype integration, testing and stakeholder demonstration. You will translate global trends and start-up innovations into functional vehicle-intelligence concepts for logistics, yard, depot, mining, port and construction applications, collaborating across vehicle engineering, software, validation, manufacturing and external partners.

• Manage an end-to-end technology research or PoC project with defined scope, milestones, risks and measurable success criteria.
• Analyse global technology trends, start-ups, patents, publications and competitor solutions for relevance to DICV.
• Apply design thinking to capture customer/driver needs, frame problems and generate feasible concept alternatives.
• Develop system concepts, functional architectures, packaging proposals, 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and prototype parts.
• Integrate mechanical, electrical, electronic, sensing, control and software elements into functional demonstrators.
• Plan and conduct experiments, establish baselines, analyse data, troubleshoot failures and optimise concepts through iterative design-build-test-learn cycles.
• Coordinate with vehicle engineering, E/E, software, validation, manufacturing, procurement, IP, suppliers, start-ups and academic partners.
• Document findings, risks, limitations and recommendations; create reusable engineering knowledge and technology-transfer packages.
• Deliver a functional prototype or validated experimental setup against an agreed milestone plan and provide evidence-based recommendations for continuation, modification, transfer or termination.
