Axle Development Engineer 15k-30k

To be a global champion TRATON must have a presence in one of the world’s biggest commercial vehicle markets, i.e. China. The go-to-market strategy is a premium product and a B+ product, developed in China for China. The products will be produced in Scania07s production plant, our 3rd hub production footprint. This ambition requires an R&D organization that can develop, maintain and further develop the aimed product portfolio.

The speed and the quality of our strategy execution will be the most important differentiator in the coming years ahead. For that reason, we are now looking for a Axle Senior Engineer for the axle and e-axle development system within the R&D organization.

· Responsible for axle integration in a vehicle-level perspective, ensuring compatibility with powertrain, chassis, and the whole vehicle performance.
· Drive technical innovation to improve axle performance metrics (Efficiency/durability/lightweight/NVH/cost).
· Participate and proactively adopt a mindset of building the future axle road map as a complete system and key components.
Create technical documentation (DFMEA, Drawings, Test Specifications, BOMs) and support prototype testing, certification, and production ramp-up.
