Sonic Summary

info
  • The Vehicle Architecture & Packaging role requires a lead in spatial layout and packaging of excavators and wheel loaders, managing the master vehicle 3D model.
  • Candidates must have a minimum of 8 years of experience in the Construction Equipment industry, specifically with excavators, wheel loaders, or backhoes.
  • The position demands advanced proficiency in high-end 3D CAD software, with a strong emphasis on weight distribution and center of gravity management for vehicle stability.
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, or a related field is required, along with strong cross-functional leadership skills.
  • The salary for this position is competitive and commensurate with experience, reflecting the advanced technical knowledge and leadership required.
Vehicle Architecture & Packaging: Lead the overall spatial layout and packagingof the machine; manage the master vehicle 3D model and layout structure forexcavators and wheel loaders.
 Subsystem Synchronization: Coordinate with the Hydraulics, Powertrain(Battery/Motor), and Structural teams to ensure interference-free integration andoptimal routing of high-voltage cables and hydraulic hoses.
 Weight & CG Management: Maintain strict control over vehicle weight distributionand Center of Gravity (CG) to ensure machine stability, high payload performance,and structural integrity.
 Serviceability & Ergonomics: Design the vehicle layout with a strong focus onoperator visibility, cabin ergonomics, and easy access for maintenance (e.g., batteryswapping/charging, hydraulic filters).
 Design Validation & Clearance: Conduct digital DMU reviews, tolerance stack-upanalysis, and clearance checks; lead the physical prototype assembly to catch andresolve integration issues early.
 NPI Delivery: Drive the integration cycle from the initial concept sketch to full-scaleproduction readiness, ensuring strict adherence to project timelines and safetystandards.

Requirements

 Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, AutomobileEngineering, or a related technical field.
 Industry Experience: Minimum 8 years of core experience in the ConstructionEquipment (CE) space (Excavators, Wheel Loaders, or Backhoes is a must).
 Expert CAD Packaging: Advanced proficiency in high-end 3D CAD software (CreoParametric/Teamcenter preferred) for complex assemblies, sheet metal, androuting modules.
 Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of heavy machinery structural frames,counterweight balancing, vehicle dynamics, and thermal management layouts.
 EV Familiarity: Understanding of high-voltage safety clearances and clearancerequirements around battery enclosures is highly desirable.
 Soft Skills: Strong cross-functional leadership, exceptional spatial visualization, anda problem-solving mindset to resolve engineering conflicts between teams.
