5+ years of experience in driveline, axle, or vehicle architecture design (automotive/EV preferred).
Expertise in CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE for 3D modeling and assembly.
Experience with driveline simulation tools (AVL Cruise, CarSim) and durability analysis.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for complex engineering trade-offs.
Fluent English (technical writing and presentation skills).
Management skills: ability to lead small teams, coordinate with stakeholders, and manage project timelines.
Experience with EV skateboard architectures or modular driveline systems.
Knowledge of NVH considerations in driveline design.
Familiarity with FMEA.

Responsibilities

Lead feasibility studies for RWD vs. FWD configurations, including axle durability, shaft angles, and packaging constraints.
Develop detailed designs for rear axles, half-shafts, and driveline components.
Collaborate with chassis, thermal, and battery teams to ensure seamless integration.
Create decision-support materials (trade-off matrices, risk assessments) for leadership reviews.
Document assumptions, interfaces, and dependencies to guide engineering decisions.
Support prototyping and testing of RWD concepts.
