In ALTEN we are looking for an RWD Concept Engineer to drive the feasibility and design of rear-wheel drive systems for electric vehicles. You will evaluate FWD vs. RWD trade-offs, design rear axles, and ensure integration with suspension, chassis, and battery systems. This role is critical for defining the vehicle’s traction architecture and requires a strong analytical mindset and cross-functional collaboration.
🔧 Key Responsibilities:
•
Lead feasibility studies for RWD vs. FWD configurations, including axle durability, shaft angles, and packaging constraints.
•
Develop detailed designs for rear axles, half-shafts, and driveline components.
•
Collaborate with chassis, thermal, and battery teams to ensure seamless integration.
•
Create decision-support materials (trade-off matrices, risk assessments) for leadership reviews.
•
Document assumptions, interfaces, and dependencies to guide engineering decisions.
•
Support prototyping and testing of RWD concepts.
Requirements
✅ Required Skills & Qualifications:
•
5+ years of experience in driveline, axle, or vehicle architecture design (automotive/EV preferred).
•
Expertise in CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE (mandatory for 3D modeling and assembly).
•
Experience with driveline simulation tools (AVL Cruise, CarSim) and durability analysis.
•
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for complex engineering trade-offs.
•
Fluent English (technical writing and presentation skills).
•
Management skills: Ability to lead small teams, coordinate with stakeholders, and manage project timelines.
🌟 Nice-to-Have:
•
Experience with EV skateboard architectures or modular driveline systems.
•
Knowledge of NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) considerations in driveline design.
•
Familiarity with FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis).
Benefits
•
Sueldo base
•
Seguro de Gastos Médicos Mayores (incluye plan dental y visión)
