## About the Role

Master Degree in Software Engineering, Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or foreign educational equivalent. Two years of experience in the position offered, or in a similar position, such as Software Engineer. Experience must include leading end-to-end requirements engineering, including stakeholder elicitation, analysis, decomposition, bi-directional traceability, verification criteria development, and requirements reuse/process definition using Project Lifecycle Management Tool Set; and supporting systems and software development lifecycle activities, applying standards and processes (including ASPICE SYS1/SYS2/SWE1), contributing to functional safety tasks, administering change control, maintaining baselines, and troubleshooting issues using a systems-level perspective in lab and vehicle environments.

## Description

Work with customers at program initiation to analyze the customer requirements and to enter them into application life cycle (ALM) tool. Develop the system requirements based upon and traced to the customer requirements for mechanical, electrical and software disciplines. Utilize the system architecture provided by the core team to verify that the system requirements are satisfied by the system architecture. Understand and document customer requirements using ALM tools. Manager and negotiate customer requirements, change requests, and unwritten expectations. Document system architecture in an unambiguous, clear, and understandable way that electrical, mechanical and software engineers know exactly what they must do to meet customer expectations. Create and maintain project documentation: System requirements specification; System architecture definition tailored to the specific project; System test plan; Other documents, as needed. Lead cross functional requirements reviews. Develop with the
support of the customer the system level DFMEA for the product. Support the development of system level work products like HARA. Support the development of Functional Safety Concept and Technical Safety Concept. Support the development of the Hardware Software Interface Specification (HSIS). Coordinate with manufacturing and software teams to develop interface requirements including EOL and module programming requirements. Support creation of: Detailed discipline specific design description; Mechanical/Electrical and hardware/software interface specifications; 8D reports; Timing Plans Other documents, as needed. Perform systems testing of products on bench and in vehicles making sure the product functions and performs as the customer expects per requirements. Actively pursue cost saving ideas. Be aware of innovative solutions and propose patent applications. Lead the planning, scheduling, monitoring and reporting of all systems engineering related activities for various projects. Complies
