About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead the technical definition, integration, and validation of low-voltage electric power subsystems and vehicle interfaces
  • Own requirements and technical integration strategy for assigned Electric Power subsystems or interface groups
  • Translate customer and vehicle-level needs into component-level implementation and verification
  • Lead definition and maintenance of subsystem, behavioral, interface, diagnostic, and acceptance requirements
  • Decompose system and vehicle requirements into complete, feasible, verifiable, and traceable subsystem requirements
  • Maintain requirements and interface content in DOORS/DNG or successor tools, controlling and communicating changes
  • Develop or contribute to Model-Based Systems Engineering artifacts, including SysML diagrams
  • Lead cross-functional requirement and behavior discussions, triad reviews, and Given/When/Then scenario development
  • Partner with Design Release Engineers and suppliers on component designs, packaging, electrical interfaces, communication behavior, diagnostics, and performance
  • Collaborate with controls, software, diagnostics, calibration, and systems teams to resolve integration gaps
  • Define and maintain subsystem validation intent, test scenarios, acceptance criteria, test coverage, and support for validation rollout planning
  • Coordinate bench, vehicle, simulation, and virtual-validation activities to investigate anomalies and close issues
  • Support subsystem and solution FMEAs and related safety, manufacturing, service, and software failure-mode linkage
  • Support safety, regulatory, OBD, cybersecurity, and other compliance requirements
  • Lead root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and translation of resolutions into updated requirements or interfaces
  • Participate in design reviews, technical reviews, milestone assessments, issue reviews, Agile ceremonies, iteration planning, and program increment activities
  • Manage technical work in Jira and other backlog or issue-tracking tools, maintaining status, decisions, risks, and dependencies
  • Drive alignment across vehicle programs and stakeholders when components or interfaces are reused, variantized, or changed
  • Identify technical risks, establish recovery actions, and communicate recommendations to engineering and program leadership
  • Mentor and coach engineers in requirements quality, systems thinking, interface management, validation intent, and issue resolution
  • Own mechanical and packaging execution of shields for generators, inverters, converters, battery vent tubes, jump-start nuts, and related 12V hardware from concept through production

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, systems engineering, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant experience
  • At least five plus years of experience in automotive engineering, systems engineering, component development, electrical architecture, or a closely related technical field
  • Experience developing, reviewing, or managing requirements for automotive systems, subsystems, components, or interfaces
  • Knowledge of automotive communication and diagnostic technologies, such as CAN, LIN, GMLAN, serial data, U-services, RIDs, DIDs, or OBD
  • Experience with DFMEA, subsystem or solution FMEA, supplier DFMEA, DRBFM, design reviews, and validation
  • Experience with low-voltage vehicle electrical systems, including 12V and/or 48V architectures, power distribution, battery systems, sensing, conversion, generation, or related interfaces
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical issues from problem definition through root cause, corrective action, validation, and closure
  • Experience working across hardware, software, controls, validation, manufacturing, service, and supplier organizations
  • Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to engineers, suppliers, program teams, and leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound engineering judgment, manage competing priorities, and influence outcomes without direct authority
  • Preferred: experience with lead-acid batteries, intelligent battery sensors, DC/AC inverters, generators, or vehicle power-management systems
  • Preferred: experience with requirements-management and traceability tools such as DOORS/DNG, Jira, or comparable platforms
  • Preferred: experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering, SysML, Rhapsody, behavioral requirements, or Given/When/Then methods
  • Preferred: experience with virtual validation, simulation, co-simulation, electrical analysis, or data-driven troubleshooting
  • Preferred: familiarity with functional safety, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, manufacturing, service, and design-for-quality considerations
  • Preferred: experience leading suppliers and coordinating technical deliverables across multiple vehicle programs
