Job description

The Lead ASWb Engineer is responsible for the development of a SW feature and/or functionally leads the involved SW Application Engineers. The SW development consists of migrating SW features from legacy controllers to the next generation vehicle controller, developing new features and evolving existing features, covering Body Computer domain. Ensuring and maintaining the highest quality and developing according to safety and quality standards are a fundamental part of the daily work. The SW Application Lead Engineer is part of a global SW driven engineering organization with a modern state of the art agile culture. Collaboration is key.

Responsibilities

• Owns the SW feature and decides about content, architecture, roadmaps etc. within the SW Application Platform
• Perform SW development using Model Based Design (and C code)
• Analysis of stakeholder needs and development of respective solutions with the SW Application Engineers and the corresponding scrum teams of different Agile Release Trains (ARTs)
• Deep Collaboration with SW Architects and Product Owners
• Leads a functional team of SW Application Engineers
• Creates and maintains technical roadmap, e.g. harmonization
• Supports the ARTs, e.g. PI Planning, technical decisions, supports the Product Owner
• Drives the general development of the SW feature within the SW Application Platform
• Ensures that all FSM and A-SPICE work products are created
• Thinking and acting across disciplines and finding high quality solutions
• Being a key coordinator within the feature team, moderating and approving the solution of technical issues across teams and international locations
• Interface and technological alignment with all stakeholders
• Analysis and optimization of the SW component architecture related to the feature
• Constantly build up the knowledge about state-of-the-art technologies and stakeholder needs
