Lead Systems Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Lead Systems Engineer to lead the system engineering function across our automotive electronics product portfolio, including Battery Management Systems, On-board/Off-board Chargers, Motor Controller Units, TCU,  DC-DC Converters, and Vehicle Control Units.

The candidate will own system-level engineering deliverables throughout the product development lifecycle, from customer requirement analysis and system architecture definition to implementation, integration, verification, validation, and production release.

The role requires strong expertise in automotive system architecture, requirements engineering, functional decomposition, interface management, system modeling, risk analysis, and V-model-based development. The candidate will work closely with customer system and vehicle architects, hardware and software engineering teams, functional safety, testing and validation, quality, and project management teams to ensure that product requirements are complete, traceable, technically feasible, and verifiable.

The candidate will also be responsible for establishing and improving system engineering processes, mentoring the system engineering team, and ensuring timely delivery of high-quality system engineering artifacts across projects.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with (customers') system and vehicle architects to understand and derive system requirements
• Define functional requirements, technical requirements, robustness and reliability requirements for the product
• Conduct systems- failure modes and effects analysis (SFMEA) and design-failure modes and effects analysis (DFMEA)
• Modeling system level and vehicle level use cases and maintaining version controlled summary of traceability
• Deriving system state and mode flow machine and behavior of the product and its effect on vehicle for each state and mode
• Preparing logical architecture and technical architecture with component owners ensuring internal alignment among each component owners
• Preparing signal interface specifications for each derived signals interacting between the logical and physical components
• Hands on with implementing V-cycle
• Good knowledge on safety standards ISO-26262 and cybersecurity standards
• Review and communicate the requirements with HW teams, SW teams, test teams, customers.
• Mentor, hire, and train the system engineers.

Must-Have Requirements

• Bachelors or Masters in electronic or similar engineering with 10+ years of experience.

• Good understanding of automotive architecture, electrical and electronic systems within automotive electric vehicles- EVs and HEVs
• Basic know how on battery management systems
• Hands on with any automotive function development
• Good understanding on interfaces like CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, Microcontroller architectures, DC-DC converters, electronic control units, relay drivers, solid state relays/ PDU, automotive ethernet, UDS diagnostics protocol, OBD, etc
• Team player and good at cross functional work abilities
• Capable of defining the process of handling the requirements with the help of project management and technical management
• Hands on with DOORs or any other requirement management tools
• Awareness on ISO26262 functional safety  and cyber security ISO21434 implementation.
