Back to jobsDrive the technology roadmap for gearbox bearings, including both journal bearings and rolling-element bearings
Identify and mature emerging bearing technologies, such as advanced materials, surface treatments and coatings, lubrication concepts, condition monitoring, and sensing solutions for future platforms
Ensure strong technical alignment between bearing technologies and adjacent disciplines, including gearbox design, lubrication and tribology, structural and FEM analysis, Gearbox OEMs and bearing suppliers, and test and validation teams
Lead bearing-related concept development and design activities for new gearbox projects and product upgrades. Provide expert guidance on bearing selection, load assumptions, lubrication strategies, and system integration within the gearbox design
Support DVPR/DVRE planning and execution, including validation tests and monitoring concepts
Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for bearing-related failures, test deviations, and supplier quality issues. Translate analytical findings into design improvements, updated guidelines, and preventive measures
Collaborate with external research partners (e.g. universities, institutes, and industry working groups) to advance and industrialize bearing technologies. Represent the Powertrain organization in bearing-related technical discussions with certification bodies, suppliers, and external stakeholders
