About The Position

The Senior Systems Engineer executes control-function partitioning and interface designs to meet electrical systems and subsystems’ performance and functional requirements. The role works across vehicle electrical controls domains, including propulsion (internal combustion engines and electrical machines), high-voltage battery systems, active safety, autonomous driving, body electronics, infotainment, telematics, and chassis controls. The engineer creates system design readiness documents that translate requirements into system components and determine how they should be deployed to ECUs to achieve electrical system functionality. The role includes system design readiness modeling, functional subsystem and diagnostic requirements analysis, defining serial-data impact across CAN, LIN, and Ethernet networks, and high-level infrastructure partitioning for ECU software application security and safety interfaces. The engineer documents designs using IBM Rational Rhapsody and UML, defines network signals, and deploys structured components in applicable electronics-module models. The role participates in weekly Requirements Architecture Development (RAD) and Global Sub System Leadership Team (GSSLT) meetings, tracks change requests and stakeholder approvals, supports stakeholders under configuration management rules, and reviews models to ensure the fidelity of system designs agreed upon by stakeholders. The position follows a hybrid work policy of three days in the office and two days remote; the employee must be able to report to a local office.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field of study.
Five years of experience as a Software Engineer, Test Engineer, Programmer/Developer, or in a related role.
Five years of experience with propulsion systems, ADAS, chassis, electrification, or other electrical automotive control systems.
Two years of experience with system engineering and software modeling concepts.
Two years of experience with electrical schematics diagrams.
Two years of experience with SAFe and Agile product development.
Two years of experience with software deployment environments.
Two years of experience with embedded real-time operating systems.
Two years of experience with AUTOSAR software constructs and their implementation.
One year of experience with service-oriented communication protocols such as SOME/IP.
One year of experience with software and hardware design and their failure modes.
Must be able to report to a local office under the hybrid work policy.

Responsibilities

Execute control-function partitioning and interface designs to meet electrical systems and subsystems’ performance and functional requirements.
Create system design readiness documents that translate requirements into system components and determine their deployment to ECUs.
Perform system design readiness modeling within functional subsystem domain analysis and diagnostic requirements.
Define the serial-data impact of signals transmitted and received on CAN, LIN, and Ethernet networks.
Perform high-level partitioning of infrastructure standard utility models for ECU software application security and safety interfaces.
Document system designs using UML in IBM Rational Rhapsody.
Define network signals and deploy structured components in applicable electronics-module models.
Participate in weekly Requirements Architecture Development (RAD) and Global Sub System Leadership Team (GSSLT) meetings to track change-request status and obtain stakeholder approvals.
Support stakeholder groups in accordance with configuration management rules, including RTC change requests.
Review modeling to ensure fidelity to the system design submitted and agreed upon by stakeholders.
