Job description

BorgWarner Technical Center India Private Limited, a subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc., is looking for experienced and enthusiastic professionals in the areas of System Architecture. The System Architect is a key role within the systems engineering team, responsible for owning and defining the end to end system architecture of automotive powertrain controller programs. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge System Development of BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems products, working on controller hardware and software solutions that are shaping the future of automotive propulsion. You will collaborate with global teams, lead systems development initiatives, and play a crucial role in delivering innovative solutions for next‑generation powertrains.

Key Responsibility:

• Interpret and decompose OEM/customer system requirements into system and subsystem architecture, defining system‑level functional architecture with allocation to hardware, basic software, application software, and external systems.
• Define and maintain system interfaces (vehicle, ECU, network, diagnostics, calibration), while curating architectural assumptions, constraints, and rationale.
• Lead architecture trade‑off studies (performance, cost, safety, scalability, reuse) and act as the technical decision authority for system architecture topics within the project.

What we are looking for:

• We seek professionals with a strong foundation in electrical engineering and automotive systems development.
• The ideal candidate while meeting the Education & Experience Qualification listed above, should also have experience working within an ASPICE‑based process environment or similar.
• Proficiency with MS Project and a task management tool such as Atlassian JIRA, IBM Rational RTC, or Polarion is essential.
• You must possess knowledge of V-Model Development Methodology and Systems Engineering principles.
• Preferred qualifications include experience delivering a project with functional safety (ISO 26262) requirements, propulsion, power electronics, software, or electric motor system experience.
• Knowledge of Cybersecurity (ISO 21434) and strong knowledge of systems engineering principles and guidelines (e.g., INCOSE) will distinguish exceptional candidates.
