Job description

Position Description:

In this high-impact role, you will be part of the lead architect team for the foundational electrical architectures of our future global platforms. This isn't just about circuits and connectors it's about blueprinting complex, intelligent electrical architectures that must remain resilient under every conceivable condition. You will solve "first-of-their-kind" technical challenges, bridging the gap between advanced hardware design and high-level systems logic. If you are passionate about defining electrical architectures of vehicles 2030s and beyond, this is your opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the industry.

Skills Required:
Technical Requirements Expert-level understanding of Systems Engineering principles (e.g., requirement decomposition, V-model, interface management, FMA, verification). Theoretical and practical knowledge of electrical networks and architectures. Understanding the application of ISO 26262 functional safety standards in a systems or hardware context. Capability to effectively utilize AI tools and methods for architectural optimization or system analysis.

Experience Required:
A Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical field. 2+ years of experience in the design, modeling, or architecture of complex electrical systems. Expert-level understanding of Systems Engineering principles (e.g., requirement decomposition, V-model, interface management, FMA, verification). Theoretical and practical knowledge of electrical networks and architectures. Understanding the application of ISO 26262 functional safety standards in a systems or hardware context. Capability to effectively utilize AI tools and methods for architectural optimization or system analysis.
Define and evolve next-generation electrical architecture concepts from advanced driver-assistance systems to fully electrified platforms. You'll translate emerging technology trends and customer needs into scalable, forward-looking architecture strategies that keep OEM at the cutting edge. Lead Systems Engineering Excellence: Utilize a rigorous systems engineering methodology to translate abstract vehicle-level goals into concrete hardware architecture requirements. You will own the requirement cascade from the vehicle level down to individual power supply components and subsystems. Drive Requirement Management and Enforcement
