Description 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:
3–7 years of experience
in
driveline, axle, or vehicle architecture design
(automotive/EV preferred). Expertise in CATIA V5/3 DEXPERIENCE
(mandatory for 3 D modeling and assembly). Experience with
driveline simulation tools
(AVL Cruise, Car Sim) and
durability analysis. Strong
analytical and problem-solving skills
for complex engineering trade-offs. Fluent English
(technical writing and presentation skills). Willingness to relocate to the USA
(visa support available). Management skills : Ability to lead small teams, coordinate with stakeholders, and manage project timelines.
Nice-to-Have:
Experience with
EV skateboard architectures
