Senior Systems - Digital Key & Vehcile Access

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead system definition for digital key, vehicle access, immobilizer, and starting features. This role focuses on end-to-end system architecture, requirements, and validation for secure, phone-centric vehicle access systems across embedded, wireless, and cloud-connected environments. This is a systems and architecture role with a strong emphasis on wireless technologies and embedded automotive systems. It is not a firmware or application software position.

Responsibilities - Define system architectures, requirements, and interfaces for digital key and vehicle access features - Develop use cases, scenarios, state machines, and sequence diagrams - Own system behaviors across normal, degraded, and failure conditions - Define and manage requirements in a requirements management system - Support feature development across Bluetooth, UWB, NFC, CAN, and Automotive Ethernet - Debug system-level issues across embedded and wireless domains - Define validation strategies, test specifications, and requirements coverage - Support simulations and software-in-the-loop verification - Collaborate closely with software, hardware, cloud, integration, test, HMI, and cybersecurity teams - Contribute to architecture trade studies and semiconductor integration using automotive-grade components

Day-to-Day Work - Define system use cases and feature scenarios Refine system architecture details and interfaces - Debug connectivity and performance issues - Adjust wireless and vehicle network parameters - Review test results and support issue resolution - Collaborate with cybersecurity teams on secure access concepts - Write system documentation, simulations, and test specifications - Approximately twenty percent of the role involves coding, primarily in Python.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE - Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field - Five or more years of experience in automotive systems or embedded systems engineering - Strong experience with wireless technologies including Bluetooth, UWB, and NFC - Experience with vehicle networks including CAN and Automotive Ethernet - Experience writing system requirements and defining interfaces - Strong understanding of system behaviors, state machines, and embedded architectures - Solid electrical engineering fundamentals with hands-on debugging experience NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE - Experience with digital key or phone-as-a-key systems - Familiarity with Car Connectivity Consortium digital key specifications - Experience with passive entry, passive start, remote access, or immobilizer systems - Exposure to cloud-connected vehicle features and automated test workflows - Experience with automotive-grade semiconductor platforms - Python required, C helpful for embedded understanding
