• Maintain documentation within the development toolchain, including system descriptions, requirements, solutions, and test cases.
• Manage integration and validation plans for the DCDC system.
• Define test cases and sequences according to the verification plan.
• Monitor test execution and report deviations.
• Prepare technical reports and documentation for milestone and quality gate reviews.
• Apply system development processes and methods, understanding both generic and product‑specific approaches.
• Stay updated with technological trends and development methodologies.
• Troubleshoot specific technical issues related to DCDC systems.

Your Profile

• Minimum Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Automotive Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or related field.
• In‑depth knowledge of power electronics, in particular DC/DC converters as a key vehicle component and system, including their functions and integration within the vehicle architecture.
• Basic understanding of several other vehicle systems.
• Solid understanding of in‑vehicle communication networks (e.g., CAN).
• Experience with requirements engineering tools.
• Previous experience in OEM or Tier 1 projects.
• Familiarity with requirements management tools (DOORS, Polarion or similar).
• Knowledge of simulation and modeling environments (Simulink, SysML).
• Familiarity with modern development processes and methods.
• Ability to manage the lifecycle of systems engineering items and work‑products.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Fluent in English and Spanish (written and spoken).
