At the Ulm site, we are looking for a department manager for the 4D System Engineering division at the next possible time. The department is responsible for the technical specification and the system design of the TRx-4D radar product family and thus forms an essential part of the left side of the V-model in Engineering Development. Head of 4D System Engineering (w/m/d) The 4D System Engineering combines different technical disciplines that jointly lead to the technical development of our complex radar products. These include System Engineers, System Architects, Algorithm Engineers and Requirements Managers, which in close cooperation design the technical requirements, system architecture, algorithms and system conception of our products. The department defines and specifies the technical characteristics of the TRx-4D radar family and ensures that consistent, technically feasible system concepts are created from customer requirements and product targets. The Engineering system forms the central interface between product management, customer requirements and downstream development disciplines. Through the close interconnection of these disciplines, the department ensures that the TRx-4D product family is based on a consistent technical architecture, clearly defined requirements and a resilient system concept, thereby creating the basis for successful and efficient product development. .
