• Hybrid/BEV architectures and components (inverters, DC-DC, OBC, motor controls).
• AC charging architecture and energy flow in ePT.
• DC charging architecture across regions and BEV/PHEV protocols.
• V2X features and standards (V2L/V2H/V2G).
• Battery management system architecture and functions.
• Charging/discharging standards (ISO/DIN/SAE).
• Advanced automotive tech (Cruise, ACC, ADAS, Stop/Start, ABS/ESP).
• HMI flows and user interaction understanding.
• Plug and charge concept and certificates.

Responsibilities

• Perform e-Powertrain function analysis and decomposition for energy storage systems.
• Elicit requirements: regulatory, environmental and electrical specs.
• Create propulsion system high-level functional requirements in IBM DOORS Next Gen.
• Document propulsion system operating modes in DNG.
• Analyze powertrain thermal system and performance across temperatures.
• Participate in Agile: define RASI, deliverables, timing, risks.
• Develop diagnostics requirements for End Of Line and In-Plant subsystems.
