Systems Engineering Analysis, Senior

The successful candidate will be responsible for system-level architecture, requirements management, and integration of battery management systems within vehicle platforms. Ensures technical coherence from OEM specification through component-level implementation.

Serve as the technical system lead during customer pursuits and early program phases, acting as the primary interface between customer technical teams and internal engineering functions

Lead technical engagement for RFIs/RFQs, including Interpretation and negotiation of customer specifications (OEM-specific, regulatory, and internal Clarios standards), identification of gaps, risks, and non-standard requirements and development of compliant and competitive technical responses, translate customer needs into high-level system requirements and value propositions, ensuring alignment with Clarios product portfolio (AGM, EFB, Li-ion, Na-ion, 12V/24V/48V architectures).

Drive early requirements analysis and feasibility assessments, incorporating functional safety (ISO 26262) considerations and ASPICE-aligned development expectations.

Lead cross-functional workgroups (Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, BMS, Manufacturing, Supply Chain) to develop system concepts, evaluate feasibility, cost, and performance trade-offs and ensure alignment with pursuit timelines and customer milestones.

Define preliminary system architectures and concepts based on platform reuse and scalability, cell selection (PbA, Li-ion, Na-ion) and sizing strategies, integration with vehicle domains (power net, ADAS, zonal architectures) and establish system-level performance targets and constraints (e.g., power, energy, lifecycle, cold crank, thermal limits) tailored to customer use cases.

Guide requirements cascading strategy for quoting purposes, ensuring subsystem-level assumptions are technically sound and traceable to customer requirements

Evaluate and influence design trade-offs early (performance vs. risk) to support competitive positioning.

Lead system-level risk identification and mitigation planning, including preliminary DFMEA inputs, technical risk registers, assumption tracking for quote accuracy.

Support definition of validation and verification strategies at concept level, high-level DVP&R alignment, identification of critical test requirements and timing risks.

Own technical documentation required for pursuits, including system concepts and architecture descriptions, assumptions lists, technical risk assessments, customer presentation materials

Risks and mitigation strategies, differentiation vs. competitors.
