Manager - Vehicle Integration

Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

• The DMU Lead is the single point owner for vehicle-level digital integration and package convergence. The position ensures that all vehicle systems, aggregates, and structures are integrated within the available package space while meeting performance, manufacturing, serviceability, safety, cost, and regulatory requirements.
• The role drives early identification and closure of package conflicts, architectural issues, and interface mismatches through Digital Mock-Up (DMU), thereby reducing prototype rework, engineering changes, program delays, and development cost.
• Vehicle concept & its DMU generation. Review aggregate designs and ensure functional integration of individual aggregates with each other as well as with vehicle. Resolve critical design, integration & packaging issues.
• Reducing product development time using concurrent engineering tools such as CFT, DMU review, PLM software, DFMEA, DFA, DFM, DFS review with all concern agencies like (Design, proto, manufacturing, testing, service, vendors, marketing etc) at initial product development stage itself
• Establish and maintain effective communications with Marketing, Manufacturing Engineering, Purchasing, Production, Quality Assurance and Field Service, to see that the product objectives & specifications are continually met.
• Prototyping coordination & Design proposals & its implementation to resolve issues encounter while prototyping.
• Indoor & Outdoor testing Co-coordinator for resolution of testing issues with the help of aggregate owner & testing & proto team.
