Job description

The role will be responsible for delivering the design, development and deployment of new electrical & electronic systems. Working as part of the systems engineering team, you will support the definition, interpretation and development of the customer and system level network requirements. This role will involve architecture network design across a range of products with rationalisation and commonality one of the main objectives, whilst pushing new technologies and feature content to enhance and satisfy the customer requirements. You will provide technical support to the delivery of the system network design. You will evaluate multiple system network designs to arrive at a harmonised solution that meets the required project attributes. Additionally you will be responsible for preparing the system level and module level requirements specifications in conjunction with developing functional designs to demonstrate how the customer requirements will be satisfied through the proposed design.

Responsibilities

• Translate the ‘voice of the customer’ (internal and external) into a list of clear concise requirements and deliverables.
• Selection of correct hardware/network platform(s) to deliver the technical solution, considering environmental and cost targets.
• Thrive in a fast agile environment, developing prototype solutions to validate proof of concept ideas.
• Creation of network architecture to satisfy delivery of the requirements.
• Co-ordination of 3 rd party support vendors with the creation of requirements and corresponding network architectures.
• Ensuring robust and reliable ECU communication protocols are followed in line with industry best practice (SAE J1939, Ethernet, BT, WIFI).
• Be able to read electronic schematic diagrams and their electrical wiring diagram counterpart.
• Ensure design for manufacture is considered, both relating to build of the programming and parameter configuration of selected solution.
• Have a keen interest in monitoring the health and status of the system, via on board diagnostic protocols or over the air communications.
• Work inline with industry standard development techniques ie V Model and software development processes.
• Consider the implications of writing / modelling software related to the delivery of functional safety solutions and security (cyber/digital resilience).
• Prepare test plans to enable successful and robust software validation and verification.
• Sound record keeping techniques, of all designs, revisions and related updates .
• Drive re-use of components and approaches.
• Support of cause and effect analysis – risk assessments, FMEA, 8D, Ishikawa/fishbone.

Essential Skills

• Knowledge of different CAN bus protocols ie CANOpen, J1939, ISO14229, ISO14230
• Working knowledge of Software development techniques (V Model and functional safety.
• Knowledge / experience of hardware in the loop (HIL) testing – functional test, fault insertion testing.
• Knowledge / experience of system integration testing at a vehicle level – does the solution power up, communicate, operate and shut down as intended?
• A good understanding of design verification processes (DVPSOR)

Desired Skills

• Willing to understand how things work, or how they can be improved.
• Strong desire to learn from working on differing system architectures and coding techniques.
• Qualified to HND/Degree level in an electronic/software based technology discipline or equivalent experience.
• Validation and verification co-ordination & Network design
• Understanding of and adherence to quality systems and processes.
• Understanding of FuSa and Cyber techniques (ISO13849 and ISO21434)

Experience

• Experience in the completion of different VnV techniques White/Grey/Black box testing
• Familiar with different requirements capturing tools
• Comfortable working with various electronic lab tools ie Spectrum analyser, Oscilloscope, Signal Generators, DC power supplies
• Comfortable supporting and completing cause and effect analysis – Risk Assessments, FMEA, 8D, Ishikawa/fishbone
• Confident in use of software modelling tools & software
• Sound base knowledge of electronic and software development
• Able to use different types of lab equipment to monitor system behaviour ie CAN, frequencies, PWM and basic operation
• Awareness of functional safety and security impact, on software development
• Experience in the use of black box testing techniques
• Experience of validation and verification activities
• Experience taking electronic systems from concept through to delivery.
• Extensive experience within Tier 1 or OE sectors (on highway or off highway) within system engineering or network development
• Experience of Project delivery
