Grow a Career. Build a Future!

Be part of this company at the forefront of agriculture and construction, that passionately innovates to drive customer efficiency and success. And we know innovation can’t happen without collaboration. So, everything we do at CNH Industrial is about reaching new heights as one team, always delivering for the good of our customers.

We’re seeking a skilled and experienced Vehicle Integrator/Vehicle Architect along with Cost management to join our Product Development team in agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters and tractors. This hybrid role is critical to our success, involving the definition and optimization of vehicle layouts while ensuring financial targets are met. The ideal candidate will have 6-9 years of proven experience in vehicle integration and architecture with a good understanding of the entire product lifecycle, from concept to production and costing.This position leads the development of holistic vehicle architectures and is responsible for the accurate and timely reporting of cost data to management. A key aspect of this role will be resolving complex field issues and supporting manufacturing and prototype teams through virtual models (Digital Twins). The role requires driving cost reduction initiatives as well. Given our global presence, flexibility in working hours and strong cross-functional collaboration is essential.

• Lead the development of holistic vehicle architectures, translating requirements into feasible and optimized vehicle layouts.

• Conduct comprehensive Digital Mock-Up (DMU) reviews to identify and resolve packaging conflicts, interferences, and assembly issues across the vehicle.

• Create and manage Creo Skeleton models and the variant management of the vehicle.

• Apply DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), DFS (Design for Serviceability) & DFC (Design for Cost) principles throughout the design process.

• Collaborate with engineering, service, and manufacturing teams to investigate and resolve build and field issues.

• Utilize advanced CAD software like Creo for vehicle layout, packaging, detailed design, and creating motion envelopes.

• Develop and maintain cost roll-up forecasts for GPD milestones using either descriptive or Engineering BOMs.

• Deliver on-time cost rollups and reports (KMS COP, weekly/monthly reports) to Engineering and Cost Managers.

• Provide accurate cost data reporting to the Management Team.

• Assist the Cost Manager in assigning cost targets for key models.

• Support cost reduction activities by developing a database of cost opportunities and following up on deliverables with the extended team.

• Coordinate with Engineering and Central Cost teams to support Technical Cost Estimates (Should-Cost Estimates).

• Provide top-down cost analysis per system key or functional block and identify root causes for cost changes.

• Create reports for different cost metrics within a short timeframe (1-2 days).

• Take responsibility for creating and maintaining the Bill of Materials (BOM) throughout the product lifecycle.

• Ensure BOM alignment with cost checking for Engineering Change Order (ECO) releases and throughout the design release process.

• Accommodate scope creep by providing updated cost rollups in a shorter duration.

• 6-9 years of progressive experience in vehicle architecture or vehicle integration and packaging engineering of mechanical subsystem to vehicle (preferred within the agricultural machinery or heavy equipment industry).

• Experience in Digital Mock-Up (DMU) tools like Viz Mockup (any other software) and processes for interference detection and packaging optimization.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD software like Creo (any other 3D software) with Solid modelling, Motion skeletons, Assembly, Drafting, Sheetmetal module expertise.

• Experience in creating and maintaining BOM throughout the product lifecycle (experience with Teamcenter added advantage).

• Experience in GD&T and tolerance stack up analysis.

• Experience in Excel skills like vlookup, pivot table, basic macros etc.

• Experience in plant built and field issues resolution.

• Understanding of agricultural vehicle systems (e.g., implements, hydraulics, chassis, cabins, powertrain) and their interfaces will be an added advantage.

• Experience in cost rollups, assigning cost targets, identify root causes for cost changes will be an added advantage.

• Familiarity with various manufacturing processes (welding, fabrication, casting, machining etc).

• Experience in working with cross-functional teams and working with geographically dispersed global teams.

• Possess a good understanding of relevant national and international regulatory norms and standards.

Bachelor’s in mechanical engineering, Automotive Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or a related field.
