What you will do:

The successful candidate will be responsible for system-level architecture, requirements management, and integration of battery management systems within vehicle platforms. Ensures technical coherence from OEM specification through component-level implementation.

How you will do it:
• Serve as the technical system lead during customer pursuits and early program phases, acting as the primary interface between customer technical teams and internal engineering functions
• Lead technical engagement for RFIs/RFQs, including Interpretation and negotiation of customer specifications (OEM-specific, regulatory, and internal Clarios standards), identification of gaps, risks, and non-standard requirements and development of compliant and competitive technical responses, translate customer needs into high-level system requirements and value propositions, ensuring alignment with Clarios product portfolio (AGM, EFB, Li-ion, Na-ion, 12V/24V/48V architectures).
• Drive early requirements analysis and feasibility assessments, incorporating functional safety (ISO 26262) considerations and ASPICE-aligned development expectations.
• Lead cross-functional workgroups (Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, BMS, Manufacturing, Supply Chain) to develop system concepts, evaluate feasibility, cost, and performance trade-offs and ensure alignment with pursuit timelines and customer milestones.
• Define preliminary system architectures and concepts based on platform reuse and scalability, cell selection (PbA, Li-ion, Na-ion) and sizing strategies, integration with vehicle domains (power net, ADAS, zonal architectures) and establish system-level performance targets and constraints (e.g., power, energy, lifecycle, cold crank, thermal limits) tailored to customer use cases.
• Guide requirements cascading strategy for quoting purposes, ensuring subsystem-level assumptions are technically sound and traceable to customer requirements
• Evaluate and influence design trade-offs early (performance vs. cost vs. manufacturability vs. risk) to support competitive positioning.
• Lead system-level risk identification and mitigation planning, including preliminary DFMEA inputs, technical risk registers, assumption tracking for quote accuracy.
• Support definition of validation and verification strategies at concept level, high-level DVP&R alignment, identification of critical test requirements and timing risks.
• Own technical documentation required for pursuits, including system concepts and architecture descriptions, assumptions lists, technical risk assessments, customer presentation materials
• Provide technical leadership in pursuit reviews (gate reviews, bid/no-bid decisions), clearly articulating: Risks and mitigation strategies, differentiation vs. competitors.

What we look for:

Required:
• Systems engineering (INCOSE or equivalent)

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE)
• ISO 26262 functional safety
• Requirements management tools (Jama, DOORS, Polarion)
• V-model development lifecycle
• Vehicle electrical architecture

Preferred:
• BS/MS EE or Systems Engineering
• 5+ years automotive systems
• ISO 26262 certification
