The Role:
Were looking for a strategic and technically accomplished Product Owner to lead the development of Electric Drive Unit (EDU) functional domains and systems engineering activities across gearbox control, inverter/EDU integration, and system/software-level capabilities. This leadership role involves driving model-based system design, Functional Safety (FuSa) deliverables, and team coordination across end-to-end powertrain control functions.
Area of Responsibility
Product Ownership & System Leadership
- Own the system-level function roadmap for EDU and inverter integration, including gearbox control, software features, diagnostics, and performance targets
- Lead a dedicated Systems Engineering squad, setting goals, priorities, and sprint outcomes aligned with vehicle program milestones
- Act as the interface between hardware, software, safety, and validation teams, translating product needs into system requirements and architectural decisions
Model-Based Systems Engineering
- Develop functional and logical architectures using SysML, MSOSA, and simulation-based validation workflows
- Maintain system and software-level traceability using structured MBSE platforms (e.g., Rhapsody, Enterprise Architect)
- Define and decompose requirements using TRM methodology and manage system baselines in tools like X-ray, DOORS, Polarion
Functional Safety (FuSa)
- Lead ISO 26262 safety lifecycle activities for combined EDU/inverter systems, including HARA, ASIL allocation, and TSC development
- Ensure appropriate safety mechanisms are captured in the architecture and validated in partnership with FuSa and validation engineers
- Contribute to safety case development and compliance documentation for certification milestones
Feature Definition & Verification
- Specify system and software functions for gearbox control, torque blending, regen strategies, and drive mode management
- Align functional and diagnostic strategies across inverter and EDU control domains
- Support DVP planning, system integration testing, and V&V tracking for feature-level acceptance criteria
Knowledge / Experience
Essential
- Experience in powertrain systems engineering, including combined EDU and inverter functional ownership
- Demonstrated leadership in model-based systems engineering, using SysML/MSOSA methodologies
- Strong experience in Functional Safety (ISO 26262) for system-level applications
- Hands-on use of tools like TRM/X-ray, DOORS, Polarion, or other ALM platforms
Preferred Skills
- Experience with transmission control software, torque arbitration, and driveability tuning
- Familiarity with inverter/motor control fundamentals (e.g., FOC, current regulation)
- Understanding of vehicle architectures, CAN/LIN protocols, and diagnostic strategies
- Agile mindset with experience in sprint planning, backlog ownership, and stakeholder engagement.
