  • Compile, sustain, and manage extensive documentation like context diagram, state diagram, system integration, Sub-System Technical Specification (SSTS), and Behavioral Test Specifications (BTS) for the defined subsystems.
  • Follow Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) principles focusing on requirements development with behavioral impacts to customer in mind.
  • Direct and evolve subsystem design with uniform solutions across diverse vehicle architectures (including SDV 2.0) to reduce complexity.
  • Lead Triad Meetings and discussions with key stakeholders to develop behavioral requirements and "Given / When / Then" scenarios.
  • Undertake a comprehensive subsystem analysis including Noise factors, Interface mapping, and actuator and sensor performance requirements.
  • Lead initiatives in crafting and finalizing Subsystem DFMEAs, ensuring coherent linkage to component and system DFMEAs, and manage FMEA processes across applicable subsystems.
  • Support the development of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) requirements and define API capabilities for the Battery State Estimation component.
  • Support Testable Functionality Roll-Out Plan (TFRP) definition.
  • Support development of Regulatory (global), Safety, and Calibration requirements as applicable.
  • Leverage simulation environments and plant models to support testing and requirements development.
  • Collaborate with Controls and Software Engineers to review controls design and/or software implementation, ensuring compliance with requirements.
  • Engage in root cause analysis for all applicable sub-system related issues, translating solutions into new or revised requirements for high voltage battery systems.
  • Participate as a key stakeholder in agile software development by actively contributing to regular Scrum ceremonies and driving software-related requirements.
  • Support peripheral meetings with Product Team Members, FSAs, other SSLEs, and Systems Engineers.
  • Support advanced technical initiatives that drive future features and vehicle enhancements, while contributing to additional responsibilities as needed.

  • 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Proficient in electric and hybrid vehicle operating strategy execution, with strong expertise in high-voltage battery management systems.
  • Experience with calibration, software, and controls development.
  • Experience leveraging simulation environments and plant modeling for testing or requirements generation (MATLAB/Simulink, ETAS, etc.).
  • Experience with requirements management tools (Doors NG, etc.).
  • Experience with change management tools (Jira, etc.).
  • Experience with OBD regulatory requirements and safety-critical systems, including compliance with ISO 26262 standards.
