Senior Geometrical Assurance Engineer

What you will do

At Cab Over Truck Engineering you will contribute to the transformation of our company, the transport industry and society at large. 

As a Senior Geometrical Assurance Engineer (GAE) within our VGA Team / Vehicle Geometric Architecture, you will play a key role in shaping robust vehicle architectures and contributing to the transformation of the transport industry and society at large, working together with highly skilled colleagues, in a global environment and working in new technology vehicles.

• As a Senior Geometrical Assurance Engineer (GAE) within our VGA Team / Vehicle Geometric Architecture, you will play a key role in shaping robust vehicle architectures and contributing to the transformation of the transport industry and society at large.
• You will be responsible for the geometrical integration of systems and components, with a strong focus on Geometry Assurance, ensuring robust, repeatable, and manufacturable solutions throughout the full vehicle development lifecycle.
• You will lead cross-commodity geometrical assurance activities, delivering architecture and integration solutions aligned with defined introductions, component/system roadmaps, and long-term strategic plans. This includes securing balanced solutions across geometry, weight, dimensions, and interfaces, within the QDCF framework, considering platform strategies, technology development, and project-specific requirements across multiple vehicle programs over time.
• You will own the geometric assurance of the complete vehicle, acting as a technical reference for stack-up chains, pre-tolerancing, and variation risk management at multi-system interfaces.
• In addition, you will lead the geometric assurance of the complete vehicle, ensuring design robustness, manufacturability, and assembly repeatability from concept phase through SOP. You will act as a technical reference in stack-up chains, pre-tolerancing, and variation risk management at multi-system interfaces, securing perceived quality, functional clearances, and assembly consistency.

Your main missions and responsibilities will be:

• Ensure Fit, Form and Function of systems and components across the vehicle architecture;
• Enhance design robustness and support cost avoidance by minimizing late design changes and increasing confidence through virtual builds, reducing dependency on physical builds;
• Create, simulate, and validate tolerance and datum target strategies (using methods and tools such as RD&T) to meet Product Design and Quality Impression requirements for Fit & Finish;
• Define and execute measurement plans throughout the serial life of the product, enabling statistical evaluations (e.g. 8 Sigma calculations);
• Perform root cause analysis of build and assembly issues, including stack-up and chain analysis;
• Work with Statistical Process Control (SPC), ensuring supplier process conformity and capability linked to Dimensional Control Plan (DCP) activities;
• Define geometrically critical components, associated datum targets, and secure validation and alignment with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Suppliers;
• Execute pre-tolerancing activities, with focus on mountability and interface robustness (including Gap & Flush where applicable);
• Develop and maintain RD&T models (Robust Design & Tolerancing), defining chaining strategies necessary to achieve geometrical convergence;
• Define and deploy Dimensional Control Plans (DCP), including Measuring Point (MP) drawings, pre-validation of control jigs, and 3D control points on FOT (First Out of Tool) together with SQE;
• Lead geometrical convergence meetings involving Manufacturing, Engineering, Suppliers, SQE, and Geometrical Architecture;
• Support project engineers across all project phases, providing robust technical solutions at varying levels of complexity;
• Actively contribute to the development and deployment of GA methods, standards, and tools across projects and organization.

Note: This role is primarily focused on chassis systems and mountability/interfaces, not on CAB Gap & Flush development.

Who are you?

Do you dream big? We do too, and we are excited to grow together. In this role, you will bring:
