We are seeking a System Integration Engineer to join a Vehicle System Integration engineering team. In this role, you will drive system requirements, functional architecture, integration, and verification activities for the Body domain to achieve end-to-end system capability. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential, as you will work with vehicle integration, feature integration, firmware, and vehicle component development teams to deliver the overall reliability and performance of cutting-edge vehicles.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Body Systems and controls for an autonomous robotaxi.
• Design system technical specifications and architecture.
• Develop system design and integration test plans to ensure optimal performance, safety, and efficiency for different systems (e.g., Lighting, Closures, Cluster), considering cost, mass, and latency.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams for system requirements and integration.
• Ensure subsystems fulfill requirements and interfaces.
• Participate in technical reviews for supplier evaluation and guarantee Verification and Validation (V&V) tests are captured.
• Create System Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs), diagnostics, and fault reactions for safe operation.
• Lead issue triage, including log and code reviews and hardware investigation.

Technical Skills:

• System-level understanding of diverse vehicle systems architectures for Closures, lighting, Passive Entry, and Instrument clusters.
• Familiarity with power management requirements specific to autonomous vehicles, network architecture, and power electronics in EV platforms.
• Foundation in sensor and actuator technologies for different body controls systems.
• Knowledge of developing automotive systems using model-based processes.
• Knowledge of developing electrical systems and subsystems requirements, with proficiency in tools like IBM DOORS, Siemens Polarion, or similar.
• Knowledge of automotive electrical architectures, including communication protocols (CAN/LIN/Ethernet) application and defining Physical & Functional interfaces.
• Knowledge of Automotive Diagnostics (UDS) routines and the Functional Safety Standard (ISO 26262).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ISO 26262.
• Experience in Model-Based System Design process.
• Experience in real-time embedded software architecture, e.g., AUTOSAR.
