Job Description: We are seeking an experienced
Powertrain Systems Engineer to lead system-level analysis, requirement engineering, and functional decomposition for next-generation propulsion systems. The role involves working across mechanical, electrical, and software domains to define, analyze, and validate powertrain system behavior across the V-model development lifecycle. The candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams and support agile development of advanced propulsion technologies including conventional and hybrid systems.
Key responsibilities: - Perform powertrain system function analysis and functional decomposition for vehicle propulsion systems
- Lead requirements elicitation, definition, and traceability from system level down to software level across the V-model lifecycle
- Develop and maintain high-level propulsion system functional requirements using IBM DOORS / IBM DOORS Next Generation (DNG)
- Define and document system attributes, interfaces, and requirements traceability in DNG
- Identify, analyze, and document propulsion system operating modes and system behaviors
- Understand and model energy conversion, storage, and delivery mechanisms in propulsion systems
- Ensure compliance with automotive standards, including OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) requirements
- Participate in Agile development processes, including backlog planning, sprint reviews, and risk identification
- Develop simulation and virtual models for propulsion features/functions using MATLAB/Simulink
- Create system architecture models using SysML tools such as IBM Rhapsody
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software, calibration, validation, and hardware engineering teams
- Support system validation, integration, and change management across the product lifecycle
