Position Description

Role Description

Within the CAB design department, Geometrical Assurance Engineering (GAE) as a part of the Geometrical Architecture group, is responsible for ensuring cabs and the constituting components/systems are designed to the dimensional needs to assure the aesthetical, functional, and mount-ability conditions. Your position as Geometrical Assurance Engineer, performing Geometrical Assurance Engineering activities with the goal to ensure the geometrical quality of the built products throughout the complete life cycle of the product.
To achieve your mission, you shall have close interactions with the quality requirement engineer, design team, CAB architecture team, verification leader, project manager, and suppliers.
You visit suppliers and Volvo assembly locations to validate the solutions.
This position comes under-reporting structure of the Group Manager – Geometrical Architecture & Platform group within the CAB design department.

Purpose

• The content of the role can be shortly described as:
• Establishing concepts and integrating geometry robustness in the product (robust Tolerancing at part, subassembly, and assembly level) and process
• Preparing verification and geometrical adjustments for industrialization and production
• Statistical follow-up for dimensional convergence during development, and stability during the production phase

2. Responsibility:
Geometrical Assurance-

• Implement the complete GAE process in all the impacted areas of projects (Interior, exterior, driving & BIW)
• Deliver the prerequisites and balanced geometry in order to meet the product’s aesthetical, functional, and Interface/Mountings demands considering technology developments, project, and manufacturing requirements
• Deliver the GAE inputs to concept development during pre-study
  During concept study – Evaluate alternative concepts for GAE robustness, suggest the changes in the concept, define measurement protocols for suppliers & develop a physical verification plan
• Perform the GAE-related master verification and physical-virtual correlation
• Ensure cross-functional agreements happen and GAE deliverables are met for the entire project scope at each gate
• Analyze the conflicts with respect to demand and recommend the solutions with a QDCF mind-set
