Engine & ATS Design

Associate Divisional Manager – Engine & ATS design Engineer. Leading the end-to-end integration of all non captive Engine & ATS systems and aggregates in DICV truck platforms. This includes ensuring seamless interaction between suppliers, Daimler internal stakeholders like Entire vehicle, Chassis, electrical, engine peripheral system teams to meet meet functional, regulatory, and customer requirements. The role demands cross-functional coordination, technical leadership, and strategic planning to deliver high-quality, cost-effective, and timely vehicle programs

Design & development of Engine & ATS systems

• Leading the development & Integration of non-captive Engine & ATS to meet the emission, Customer and market requirements
• Alignment & finalization of technical target specifications
• Engine & ATS system design concept freeze based on first principle calculations
• Apply design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) principles to ensure robust, cost-effective, and production-ready designs.
• Strong understanding of engineering materials and associated manufacturing processes (e.g., casting, forging, machining).
• Design optimisation of engine parts to reduce costs, improve fuel efficiency, improve NVH, improve performance

Documentation & Collaboration:

• Manage and control design data within a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system (e.g., Teamcenter).
• Prepare and present design reviews, technical specifications, and validation reports to cross-functional teams (e.g., Manufacturing, Quality, Testing, Supply Chain).
• Work closely with testing and validation engineers to interpret test results and implement necessary design iterations.

Program Management

• Collaborate with the Vehicle Systems Cross-Functional Team (CFT) to meet Vehicle DMU (Design Mock-up) requirements, including application and packaging constraints, with a focus on achieving Powertrain-specific targets.
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, validation, and supplier teams to ensure timely delivery of integrated vehicle solutions.
• Manage vehicle build planning from prototype to production.
• Track and implement Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs).

Problem Solving:

• Diagnose and resolve complex design-related issues and failures in existing or new products.
• Stay current with new engine technologies, materials science, and advanced manufacturing techniques.

Team & Stakeholder Coordination

• Lead cross-functional teams including design, simulation, testing, and manufacturing.
• Define the priorities for the team in alignment with all stake holders
• Monitor progress, identify potential delays, and ensure adherence to project timelines, quality & cost
• Critically review & provide technical support to the team
• Interface with suppliers and vendors for integration-related deliverables.
• Present integration status and risks to senior leadership.
