PRIMARY FUNCTION
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Design Engineer specializing in the design of cabin suspension systems for commercial vehicles. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, materials science, and industry regulations, with proven experience in utilizing 3D CAD software for design and simulation.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Design, develop, and optimize cabin suspension systems, including mechanical, hydraulic/pneumatic, and electronic components, to ensure comfort, safety, and durability in heavy commercial vehicles.
Create detailed 3D CAD models and 2D technical drawings using state-of-the-art software (CATIA).
PDM management.
Definition of interfaces, concept studies and monitoring of design steps with internal and external partners.
Cross-functional competences and collaboration with validation departments (virtual and vehicle), process engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, value analysis, engineering service providers and key co-design suppliers.
Research and propose new technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes to improve the performance and reduce the cost of suspension systems.
Definition of basic requirements for new design projects (requirement management), product cards in consideration of function, efficiency, cost, weight and packaging for the next design steps (implementation of lessons learned on subsequent products).
Management of developments together with Co-Design companies and partners.
Definition and supervision of external work packages with engineering providers.
Documentation of acquired knowledge in design standards.
All documentation and written correspondence in English.
