Empowered by purpose, DTNA employees drive a Technology Revolution through innovative products and a customer-centric culture. Our dedication to our customers and society does not end once our products hit the road. That’s because we believe that business success and social responsibility go hand in hand. We immerse ourselves in our customer’s experience, and support the environmental responsibilities of our sites to ensure our products are the reliable, sustainable and desired tools of the future.

What You’ll Do:

Are you INspired to pioneer emerging technologies within commercial transportation? If yes, then you may be a great fit for our INspire: the Trucks & Buses Experience Program – Expert Track. You will spark the Technology Revolution with the power of your own ideas during this 36-month rotational program. Rather than join a traditional line function, you will deploy throughout the organization and tackle the hottest technology challenges across multiple high-impact, high-visibility projects. This program will place you at the forefront of technology development at DTNA, and will accelerate your career with us. At the conclusion of the program, you will be placed into a full-time position within your home department, undoubtedly with a significant global network and the skills to succeed within the organization.

During your initial program rotation, you will be a key player on our electric mobility (eMobility) team and develop the next generation of safe, sustainable, and efficient vehicles. This team exudes creativity, energy, innovation, and passion. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to be on the forefront of eMobility, you are meant for this team. You will push the industry standards of electric vehicles to the next level. This is your chance to join us as we define the next chapter of the trucking industry. We can’t wait to hear from you!

General Job Duties:

- Technical expert performing deep analysis of the high voltage power system of electric trucks, looking at EMC/ EMI of components, systems, and entire vehicles, with the intent to determine best practices to minimize electromagnetic issues on the truck. Data collection systems are already in use in MBT, DTNA, and Fuso vehicles to understand the performance of high voltage systems, one of them being noise levels induced by all the HV components and AC ripple effects caused by inverter motor controllers. This person will be the lead in analyzing this extensive data, identifying issues and future improvements.

- Define requirements and criteria for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electric vehicles. Develop future strategies and technology to improve EMC/ EMI on the vehicle.

- Develop tools and techniques to analyze high voltage power systems using advanced simulation and data correlation. Use this to understand voltage spikes, fuse and cable sizing, electromagnetic considerations, high voltage safety aspects, efficiency, etc.

- Become an expert on technical development and strategy for the high voltage architecture of the vehicle. This person will collaborate with all HV components on the vehicle to ensure top performance and reliability of the high voltage systems.

- Develop new high voltage power distribution, HV control, and HV management strategies that are industry leading in terms of performance, cost, and modularity. Introduce creative ideas that are patentable and innovative in the automotive market.

- Develop a network to enable global collaboration, working to commonize high voltage architectures across different business units MBT, Fuso, and DTNA. Ensure DTNA requirements and performance is met by a global HV system.

- Lead and define vehicle-level requirements and performance of the HV system on the vehicle overall, including test requirements and vehicle specifications.

- Become a high voltage expert in the industry, representing DTNA and Daimler Trucks in industry meetings, associations, and conferences.

- Work with multiple vendors of HV components, as well as numerous contractors, interns, external resources, and lower level engineers.

- Provide engineering support to vehicle production team to resolve manufacturing process issues related to HV systems. Be a key expert on high voltage checks, commissioning, and other end of build aspects.

- Stay current on electric vehicle technology developments. Generate new ideas and methods for optimizing vehicle design, systems, and processes.

- Support companywide development and launch of electric mobility at Daimler Trucks.
