Senior Model Based Developer (gn) Functional Engineer

The Functional Engineer - MBD owns assigned automotive software functions end to end within an ASPICE-oriented model-based development environment. The role translates requirements into robust application functions, models, verification evidence and release-ready work products.

The role requires proactive ownership, strong stakeholder collaboration and the ability to drive topics from requirements clarification through model development, integration support, validation feedback and defect closure., * Own assigned functions and work packages end to end, from requirement analysis to implementation, verification support, integration readiness and defect resolution.

• Analyze customer, system and software requirements and derive functional concepts, low-level requirements, model design inputs and acceptance criteria.
• Develop and maintain MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow models for automotive application software functions.
• Create design and implementation artifacts aligned with SWE.1 to SWE.6, including traceability between requirements, models, tests and defects.
• Support architecture alignment, interface clarification, AUTOSAR integration topics and SWC-level design decisions.
• Prepare and support model-level verification, including static checks, model reviews, MiL and SiL testing and coverage evidence where applicable.
• Link development, integration, verification and validation feedback to ensure findings are technically resolved and traceable.
• Collaborate with validation engineers, technical leads, project management and stakeholders during daily alignment, defect reviews, design reviews and release planning.

• Degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, automotive engineering or a comparable technical discipline.
• Strong experience in model-based software development for embedded automotive functions using MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow.
• Practical understanding of ASPICE SWE.1 to SWE.6 and traceable engineering artifacts.
• Hands-on experience with MiL and SiL verification; HiL exposure is important to understand validation feedback and integration constraints.
• Good understanding of software development, integration, verification and validation across the automotive V-cycle.
• Experience with automotive function development, feature updates, defect fixing and integration support in complex E/E or embedded software environments.
• Familiarity with AUTOSAR concepts, software interfaces, code generation, static analysis and model/code quality guidelines such as MAAB or MISRA.
• Independent working style, ownership mindset, structured analysis, strong communication skills and fluent English; German is beneficial.

Preferred Experience and Tools

• Experience in commercial vehicle, chassis, body, powertrain, BMS, ADAS or comparable E/E domains.
