12V System Design Engineer

The  L V  Electrical Balance Engineer is responsible for  modelling ,  simulating and governing the  12V  energy management and components sizing . The role ensures the vehicle’s capability to supply the required 12V energy across all life phases and use cases, in compliance with  performance , reliability, and architecture requirements.  

The position aims to ensure that products meet performance, quality, innovation, and reliability targets throughout the entire development lifecycle.  

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES  

Generator Sizing and Electrical Balance  

• Lead the end-to-end generator sizing process for 12V electrical systems, including alternator and DC/DC converter assessment, in alignment with vehicle program requirements and applicable engineering standards.  

• Engage cross-functional stakeholders to collect, validate, and converge all required input data.  

• Consolidate vehicle configurations, component reference names, nominal consumption values, component behavior profiles, and generator output curves to support accurate electrical balance simulations.  

• Run electric balance simulations, analyze load budget results and identify risks related to generator capability, load consumption, and vehicle mission profiles.  

• Define, simulate, and validate load activation or load reduction scenarios to reduce total electrical consumption when required by generator sizing results.  

• Manage official release of generator sizing reports, ensuring traceability of assumptions, decisions, approvals, and project communication.  

Battery Sizing  

• Lead the 12V battery sizing process, including static and dynamic Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) calculations, for Logistic Mode and Customer Mode vehicle use cases.  

• Collect and consolidate vehicle configurations, network architecture design, component reference names, nominal consumptions, and component behavior data required for battery sizing calculations.  

• Define use cases and services to be considered in Logistic Mode and Customer Mode, including time-dependent Key-Off activities, service activation scenarios, and applicable vehicle lifecycle phases.  

• Develop full IOD calculation reports, including  battery state of charge behavior over time, risk assessment, and compliance with target parking or logistic duration requirements.  

• Ensure official release of the full IOD calculation report, maintaining consistency between calculation inputs, technical decisions, approval status, and project requirements.  

Load Consumption during Homologation Cycle  

• Collect and consolidate homologation driving cycle information, including cycle phases, operating conditions, vehicle configuration, and applicable low-voltage network assumptions.  

• Identify active electrical loads during the homologation cycle and define their operating profiles, activation logic, duty cycle, and percentage of use in collaboration with the relevant engineering stakeholders.  

• Calculate the total low-voltage network consumption during the homologation cycle by integrating load nominal consumption, activation timing, usage percentage, and driving cycle assumptions.  

• Assess the impact of low-voltage electrical consumption on the homologation cycle, supporting technical evaluations related to vehicle energy balance, CO2, fuel consumption, or electric range impact as applicable to the vehicle program.  

• Review calculation assumptions, results, and proposed conclusions with cross-functional teams, ensuring technical alignment and decision traceability.  

• Prepare and release a dedicated homologation cycle load consumption report, including input data, methodology, assumptions, calculation results, impacts, open points, and approvals.
