Job Description

Position Name: Expert Geometrical Architect - Vehicle Geometrical Architecture, Vehicle Strategy & Integration Purpose This position is in the Vehicle Geometrical Architecture (VGA) Team under Vehicle Strategy & Integration Department in GTT-VE BLR. Geometrical Architect (Position: Geometrical Architect) takes the lead in cross commodity geometrical activities to fulfil the project QDCF requirements. Geometrical Architect brings complete vehicle knowledge, Domain knowledge in Rigid & Flexible routing media design and validation and we deliver optimized and communalized architecture by balancing customer needs while protecting brand distinction. Geometrical Architect is leader for all packaging in each focus area including media routing in a project for vehicle packaging, taking care of the interfaces between all vehicle modules. This job is closely connected to strategies, technology, manufacturing development and product /project planning and has more engagement over time than just project time. Geometrical Architect (GA) takes the lead in cross commodity geometrical activities to fulfil the project QDCF requirements. GA brings complete vehicle knowledge and we deliver optimized and communalized architecture by balancing customer needs while protecting brand distinction. GA is leader for vehicle packaging, taking care of the interfaces between modules. \'. GA has an area responsibility for a given project. \'. GA leads the cross functional work through the packaging meeting. \'. GA involves the people that can/should contribute. \'. GA delivers the secured geometries within the time frame Responsibilities Deliver quality secured geometry towards the projects. To solve packaging / geometry issues between different commodities. This includes tolerances, weight, main dimensions, and bodybuilder suitability Set up the cross functional packaging organization and Packaging Issue Log (PIL) Propose solutions for complete offer scenario / packaging. Analyse and propose common solutions that can support all brands to minimize part numbers and maximize common parts. Give input regarding geometrical matters to stakeholders (Global Manufacturing (GM), Aftermarket (AM) and commodities (ex. Cab, Chassis, Electrical, Powertrain), from a complete vehicle perspective. Build geometry verification plan (virtual builds, physical builds B/C, DMU structure) Show progress (by PIL) and status for all geometry related activities Identify A-interface impacts and balance project geometrical requirements with platform requirements according to A-interface process, in collaboration with the area leader. Drive Digital Mock-up (DMU structure) deliveries according to DMU logic. Drive simulation requirements and XR Visualization requirements in line with Volvo Group targets of reducing prototypes and first rime right Geometrical Architect works primarily in the competences of Geometry Packaging for all Complete vehicle aggregates including Media routing Geometry Architect also complements Epic targets with competences on Empirical Geometrical assurance, Multi-Body Simulations, Kinematics Dynamic evaluation for vehicle level aggregates Geometrical Architect works closely with EPIC owners to assure Dimension Management, Load capacity targets, Fire & Safety and Vehicle level Homologation requirements Authorities The Geometrical Architect (GA), has the authority to take all necessary decisions to fulfil the responsibilities: Take necessary geometrical decisions in a project or a packaging study. Decisions should be within project pre req. frame/scope. This is to achieve agreed project requirements balanced with platform requirements. Arbitrate the issues that are brought up between commodities, and escalate the issue if needed, write a Protus. Determine together with all geometrical verification method that should apply to a given project, request packaging vehicles and/or physical mock-up considering area complexities, time, and cost. . Give input regarding geometrical matters to stakeholders (Global Manufacturing (GM), Aftermarket (AM) and commodities (ex. Cab, Chassis, Electrical, Powertrain), from a complete vehicle perspective. Build Flexible geometry verification plan (virtual builds, physical builds B/C, DMU structure) Show progress (by PIL) and status for all geometry related activities Identify A-interface impacts and balance project geometrical requirements with platform requirements according to A-interface process, in collaboration with the area leader. Has the responsibility to lead the Routing MAA process implementation in the project Has the responsibility to create and keep up to date the Routing MAA List Has responsibility to ensure 100% diversity verification and ensure accuracy of Geometrical Digital twin Competence Personal characteristics An open attitude in meeting new people and can build your network to get the job done. Have an interest to learn and develop yourself together with the people around you Goal oriented and communication skills is needed to get the job done since co-operation is a success factor. Lead cross functional work with mainly engineers and representatives from manufacturing and aftermarket, but also other stakeholders are involved. Can do-attitude and being resilient - Not afraid of trying. Rebounding from setbacks and adversity when facing difficult situations.
