Responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced vehicle architecture consultant to lead a fixed-duration engineering pre-study for future heavy-duty truck applications. The assignment will assess how an existing advanced vehicle architecture can be optimized, reused, and scaled across additional conventional and cab-over truck platforms.

You will turn engineering findings into a practical strategic recommendation that reduces technical uncertainty, development complexity, cost, and time to market. The work will build on a proven vehicle-development baseline while defining the most suitable future vehicle specifications and integration approach.

What You Will Do:

• Assess the application of an existing vehicle architecture to alternative conventional truck configurations.
• Identify reuse, carry-over, delta-part, and system-impact opportunities for a proposed base vehicle specification.
• Evaluate the effects of vehicle-configuration changes on packaging, wheelbase, fuel efficiency, payload, maneuverability, and relevant vehicle features.
• Define and compare longer-term base-vehicle configurations, then recommend a scalable architecture and implementation path.
• Assess the feasibility of applying the architecture to cab-over truck platforms, including platform suitability, auxiliary systems, structural implications, and feature impacts.
• Develop sensor-integration concepts and field-of-view assessments using established sensor locations where applicable.
• Produce traceable analyses, assumptions, risks, recommendations, and engineering-alignment material for leadership decision-making.
• Collaborate with cross-functional platform, systems, and vehicle-engineering stakeholders while working independently within defined interfaces.
  
  

What You Will Deliver:

• A conventional-platform impact assessment covering affected parts, systems, reuse assumptions, and vehicle-performance implications.
• A recommended future base-vehicle configuration and architecture strategy.
• A cab-over platform feasibility assessment covering carry-over opportunities, packaging, sensor installation, structural changes, and open engineering questions.
• Sensor field-of-view analysis and installation concepts.
• A final strategic report with a recommended path forward, key dependencies, risks, cost and complexity considerations, and time-to-market opportunities.
  
  

What You Bring:

• Significant experience in heavy-duty vehicle architecture, systems engineering, or whole-vehicle integration.
• Strong understanding of both conventional and cab-over truck platforms.
• Experience with architecture reuse, carry-over planning, feature-impact analysis, and delta-part assessment.
• Practical knowledge of vehicle packaging, sensor placement, field-of-view analysis, and structural integration.
• Ability to translate technical analysis into clear recommendations on cost, complexity, risk, and delivery timing.
• Excellent stakeholder-management and communication skills, with the ability to create clear, evidence-based decision material.
• A relevant engineering degree or equivalent professional experience.
  
  

Assignment Details:

• This is a fixed-duration consulting assignment expected to run for approximately four months. The successful consultant will work with a cross-functional engineering network and provide an independent assessment before a potential future development program.
