What you will do:

• Lead the end-to-end capture and definition of requirements for advancing leading class vehicle charging features, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to shape cutting-edge EV experiences.
• Shape charging system architectures using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), driving functional decomposition, signal definition, and cross-domain integration across vehicle systems.
• Translate high-level feature concepts into robust, implementable subsystem and component-level requirements that enable precise vehicle functionality
• Partner with Functional Safety Engineers to develop safety concepts, taking ownership of Technical Safety Concepts using proven methodologies such as FMEA and FTA
• Drive alignment with verification & validation teams to define comprehensive test strategies and ensure successful execution against requirements
• Collaborate closely with HV domain and software engineering teams to define, refine, and manage performance requirements for high-voltage system controls
• Contribute to the development and execution of product-level validation plans, ensuring features meet performance, safety, and customer expectations
• Investigate and resolve real-world vehicle charging issues through data-driven analysis, continuously enhancing system performance and user experience
• Coordinate systems engineering lifecycle activities with program management to successfully deliver milestones and product releases on schedule
• Champion continuous improvement of systems engineering practices, driving innovation and excellence across the organization

What you bring:
