Functiebeschrijving

For the driveline development department, we are looking for an engineer driven axle.

You will design parts of the driven rear axle; in the coming years, a major update needs to be made to our rear axle portfolio. The increasing GCWs (Gross Combination Weights), torques, and power mean that our current rear axles no longer fully meet the requirements.

Your responsibilities:

• As an engineer, you take responsibility for designing parts of the axles, differential housings, axle shafts, bearings, etc.;
• You analyze associated risks and are responsible for establishing the Design Validation Plan for these parts;
• In daily contact with the rest of the axle team, you coordinate which specification requirements are set for the parts you design;
• You strive for an optimal compromise between performance, energy consumption, prevention of field complaints, and the lowest possible cost;
• You organize the release of newly developed parts for testing and production;
• You coordinate with the factories on how your design can be best manufactured and assembled;
• Finally, you look to the future and investigate possible innovations within your field, often in collaboration with suppliers, and propose these as future project content.
