Job Title: Competitor Analysis Engineer
Division/Department: Technical Development
Location: Tianjin
Your Responsibilities:
* Analysis and report:
Responsible for investigating and researching competitor and supplier
information regarding emerging technologies and market trends with a focus on
Technical Development (VWATJ TD) products. Using: Patent research, competitor
database research, exhibitions, trade shows, forums, supplier visits,
institutes, universities, ...).
Regular reporting of the systematic prepared researches
* Maintenance of knowledge database/sharing:
Responsible for the preparation of the final analysis report (with the support
of the experts/BTVs).
Responsible for data storage of competitor analysis results and
communication/exchange between internal and external project interfaces. Based
on all findings, conclusions are to be drawn on the impact on system
interconnect, component sizing, lifetime, efficiency, thermal performance,
etc.. In addition, all the findings will be used to classify the product in
specially prepared benchmark studies and to determine how the product compares
directly with the market (e.g. "best-in-class", average).
In the future, design recommendations and optimization proposals are to be
derived in order to reduce the component/assembly costs (e.g. in the context of
model maintenance).
Assists in the definition, procurement and creation of exhibits.
Responsible for organizing and presenting final report for "Part Table
Exhibition" or similar events.
* Project Planning/Control:
Responsible for the development of the resulting schedule including the
tracking of the individual work and task packages.
Responsible for the procurement or organization of the analysis parts,
components as well as work equipment (including all necessary steps, e.g. BM,
logistics, ...). Support of the (test bench) measurement of competitor
components and its subsequent comparison with the analysis data/simulation
models Responsible for the organization and control of the disassembly, which
are related to the analysis. Including disassembly, evaluation, photography as
well as documentation of the complete analysis (with support of the
experts/BTVs within the technical development department and our laboratory).
* Reconciliation and collection:
Responsible for the coordination with internal and external partners (e.g.
VCIC Beijing, VW Anhui, ...) about the desired scope of analysis. Additional
intensive coordination with internal computation departments to understand and
determine the overall multi-physical system topology (consisting of
battery/inverter/motor/transmission/cooling) by means of a
"systematic-inverse-approach". The structure and functioning of the (sub-)
components are to be understood and their interactions analyzed. All
characteristic parameters of all components are to be recorded and processed
(these are subsequently used for the digital modeling of the system behavior
"digital twin").
* Technical evaluation and reverse engineering:
In charge of inferring the design fundamentals from the analyzed competitive
parts. This includes statements about service life design, strength, fatigue
strength, temperature resistance, electrical design criteria, schematics,
technical design of electrical machines, gearboxes, etc..
* Supports the goal of the ISO 9000 certification
