Position: Product Engineer – Commercial Vehicle Systems

About the Role
Join an innovative engineering team within a leading supplier in the commercial vehicle segment. You’ll play a critical role in the full life cycle of product development—from concept through industrialization to customer integration. You will work cross-functionally with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure high-performance, ergonomic, and cost-effective solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the technical definition of new seating systems and related components for commercial vehicles, aligning customer requirements with internal design capability.

• Evaluate process feasibility, manufacturing constraints, and cost targets to propose optimized product concepts.

• Manage technical convergence plans to meet quality, cost, and timing goals throughout development.

• Collaborate with external suppliers, particularly for purchased parts, to ensure integration into our systems.

• Coordinate with tool and fixture partners, guiding tool design, process validation, and prototype builds.

• Develop and maintain design documentation, including CAD models, engineering bill of materials (BOM), and change history.

• Create and execute test and validation plans (DVP), interpret test data, and respond to deviations.

• Facilitate design reviews, risk analyses (e.g., DFMEA), and cross-disciplinary meetings.

• Support industrialization by building control plans and working with prototype specialists.

• Interface with customer engineering teams, securing their agreement on design milestones and signoffs.

• Monitor and implement corrective actions, improvements, and cost-reduction opportunities post-launch.

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by participating in value analysis (VA/VE) workshops.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• Several years of experience in product development, preferably in commercial vehicle seating, interior systems, or similar.

• Strong CAD skills (e.g., 3D modeling), and experience with GD&T (geometric dimensioning & tolerancing).

• Proficiency in quality-assurance and launch processes: APQP, PFMEA, MSA, PPAP, SPC.

• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as plastic injection molding, stamping, or metal forming.

• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and project-management skills.

• Ability to communicate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders, including tier suppliers and customers.

• Self-motivated, collaborative, and capable of driving decisions in a fast-paced development environment.

What You’ll Gain

• Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge commercial vehicle seat systems used in trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles.

• Exposure to cross-functional development processes and close collaboration with suppliers and customers.

• A career path in a global company devoted to innovation, ergonomics, and sustainable mobility.

• Comprehensive benefits, professional development support, and a culture that values ownership and teamwork.
