Job Description

We are seeking a Functional Safety Platform Systems Engineer to support the development of next-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) systems. In this role, you will translate system concepts, designs, and architectures into clear, traceable requirements within JAMA Connect, while supporting verification, validation, and functional safety activities across EV platforms.

This is an excellent opportunity for a junior-to-mid-level engineer with a foundational understanding of systems engineering, requirements management, and testing who is looking to grow in a fast-paced automotive environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, review, and maintain functional and non-functional system requirements in JAMA
• Connect, ensuring traceability to system designs and architecture.
• Collaborate with systems, architecture, design, and functional safety teams to review, refine, and approve requirements.
• Create and manage test cases and procedures derived from approved requirements, maintaining full requirement-to-test traceability.
• Support formal review and approval processes for requirements and test artifacts.
• Review verification and validation (V&V) results to ensure alignment with approved test cases and acceptance criteria.
• Investigate test discrepancies and collaborate with engineering teams to resolve issues.
• Participate in hands-on testing activities, including bench, HIL, and vehicle-level validation of EV subsystems such as battery management, powertrain, charging, thermal management, and vehicle controls.
• Support Functional Safety development by contributing to ISO 26262 compliance activities and EGAS Level 3 safety concepts, including multi-level monitoring architectures.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation and support design reviews, test readiness reviews, and program milestones.
• Continuously develop expertise in EV systems engineering, functional safety, and automotive development processes.
