Daimler Truck North America operates a manufacturing-heavy organization running SAP across multiple tiers (ECC, S/4HANA, EWM, Analytics Cloud) alongside legacy Dynamics NAV, with engineering tooling around Creo, AUTOSAR, and simulation (MATLAB). Current hiring skews heavily toward manufacturing (31 roles) and mid-level operators, while pain points cluster around dock-to-stock speed, supplier conformance, and throughput consistency—suggesting internal pressure to tighten production flow and supply-chain visibility rather than major product pivots.

Daimler Truck North America is the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America, producing commercial vehicles under the Freightliner, Western Star, Thomas Built Buses, and Freightliner Custom Chassis brands. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, the company also manufactures diesel engines and components through affiliates and operates financial services and truck-stop partnerships. With over 10,000 employees across the United States, Peru, and Canada, Daimler Truck North America runs integrated manufacturing, sales, and service operations—balancing product complexity (chassis and body option variants), supplier management, and pre-delivery inspection workflows.
The company operates SAP ECC, S/4HANA, EWM, and Analytics Cloud alongside Dynamics NAV, with production control through Allen-Bradley PLC, Rockwell FactoryTalk, and vSphere virtualization; engineering uses Creo, AUTOSAR, and MATLAB.
Active projects include continuous improvement and lean management system rollout, supply chain visibility, complexity optimization for chassis/body options, recall/campaign execution, and supplier performance improvements.
