And we know innovation can’t happen without collaboration. So, everything we do at CNH Industrial is about reaching new heights as one team, always delivering for the good of our customers.
Job Purpose
This role is responsible for the development, integration, and industrialisation of on‑board precision agriculture technologies that enhance the value of the company’s core agricultural equipment portfolio.
The position will work closely with Chinese integration and technology partners to develop a cost‑effective, scalable precision technologies portfolio for China, with clear potential for global consumption and reuse.
A key objective of the role is to establish a tiered precision technology strategy, starting from an ultra‑low‑cost automatic guidance “first‑buy” solution, and expanding upward into more advanced precision and automation capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
1. Precision Technology Portfolio Development
Define and develop a scalable on‑board precision technology portfolio, including:
Entry‑level automatic guidance solutions
Expandable precision upgrades (hardware and software)
Advanced features including, but not limited to, automation and autonomy
Ensure all technologies align with a clear customer upgrade pathway, allowing incremental adoption over time.
Position precision technologies as a value‑adding complement to whole goods, not a standalone offering.
2. On‑Board System Architecture & Integration
Lead the system‑level design and integration of on‑board precision technologies, covering:
Guidance and positioning systems
Vehicle and implement interfaces
Operator interfaces and controls
Sensor integration
Ensure compatibility across product platforms and model ranges.
Balance performance, cost, robustness, and serviceability in all design decisions.
3. Supplier & Integration Partner Engagement (China‑Focused)
Act as the primary technical interface with Chinese integration partners and suppliers.
Evaluate partner solutions for:
Technical capability
Scalability
Cost structure
Suitability for global deployment
Drive alignment between partner development and product roadmap requirements.
Ensure solutions meet quality, reliability, and safety expectations for both China and global markets.
4. Product Validation & Field Adaptation
Support system‑level testing and validation across:
Development
Pilot production
Field trials
Ensure precision technologies perform reliably across diverse agricultural scenarios (crop types, landforms, operator skill levels).
Feed field learnings back into product improvement and portfolio evolution.
5. Cross‑Functional Product Development Support
Work closely with:
Vehicle platform and hardware teams
On‑board software and controls teams
Manufacturing and quality teams
Aftermarket and service organisations
Ensure precision technologies are:
Manufacturable
Serviceable
Upgradeable over the product lifecycle
Support internal teams with technical guidance, documentation, and integration standards.
6. Documentation, Standards & Reuse
Develop clear technical documentation including:
System architectures
Interface definitions
Integration guidelines
Upgrade and expansion paths
Capture and standardise integration approaches to support reuse across:
Product families
Regions
Future programs
Enable global teams to leverage China‑developed solutions efficiently.
