Brief description of the position:

Responsible for defining hardware & mechanical system architecture for HV systems & assembly (ZSB). Define, scale, adapt existing and new platform solutions to new requirements, ensure integration of submodules (Pulsinverter, OBC, DC/DC, E-Machine, Gearbox,...) from rough concept to detailed 3D design. Acts as the central interface between design, simulation, and strategic platform partner.

 Key Tasks:

• Check and discuss System Requirement and define HW and mechanical system architecture
• Define, coordinate & perform design work for CAD model and drawing creation
• Align the overall concept tasks with Simulation System responsible
•  Validate and ensure input and alignment from competitor analysis
• Define and align the 3D Model for the overall Assembly (ZSB) containing the submodules (Pulsinverter, On Board Charger, DC/DC, E-Machine, Gearbox,...) from rough to detail (built to print). Scale and adjust existing VW Group ZSB solution to fit to requirement or define new solution 
• Define and align the needed space for the overall ZSB 3D model with vehicle, search for compromise and solutions
• Create specification (TPB) for cost, offer estimation and supplier sourcing to pre check possibile buisness case.
• Define and align the department's actual and future platform tasks and timeline within VW Group
• Concept evaluation & comparison  in weight equivalent, efficiency equivalent &product costs incl. alignment of rough cost engineering estimation
• Ensure external supplier management & new supplier screening and bring them to VW Whitelist
