System Designer and Functional Lead Engineer

Scope of Role

This role combines system engineering and functional ownership for an assigned vehicle function or system.
The engineer will be responsible for defining requirements, driving cross‑domain alignment, managing supplier deliveries, and ensuring the function works end‑to‑end in the vehicle.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical, Electronics, Computer Science, or a related engineering field.
  
• Should have minimum 10 years of experience in Automotive SW / Systems development (SYS.1/SYS.2/SYS.3).
  
• Good to have working experience with Vehicle Exterior functions.
  
• Extensive experience in automotive system engineering, preferably with OEM or Tier 1 supplier environment.
  
• Hands-on experience in working with requirement management tools, especially CarWeaver, or similar tools such as DOORS, Polarion, Elektra and System weaver.
  
• Experience in Vehicle communication protocols such as CAN, CANFD, LIN, Ethernet.
  Etc.
  
• Strong analytical and documentation skills, with the ability to clearly communicate complex technical content.
  
• Basic understanding of functional safety according to ISO26262
• Good understanding of Diagnostic protocols.
  
• Experience in working with HW, System, SW developments

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the end‑to‑end owner of the assigned vehicle function, ensuring it meets customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and OEM performance targets.
  
• Define the functional concept, use cases, timing diagrams, state machines, and acceptance criteria.
  
• Translate customer function requirements into clear System, Sub‑system, and Component requirements.
  
• Elicit, analyze, and document requirements from all relevant stakeholders (vehicle function owners, SW/HW teams, suppliers, safety, diagnostics).
  
• Maintain and govern the requirement structure in tools such as Elektra, CarWeaver, DOORS, Polarion, ensuring traceability and version control.
  
• Break down functional and non‑functional requirements for software, hardware, diagnostics, and testing teams.
  
• Ensure end‑to‑end traceability from customer function → system requirements → component requirements → test cases.
  
• Ensure alignment of system requirements and design assumptions across SW, HW, Mechanical, Diagnostics, Safety, Cybersecurity, and supplier teams.
  
• Provide clear requirement packages to in‑house SW teams and external ECU/component suppliers.
  
• Participate in signal database updates, communication matrix reviews, and interface definitions.
  
• Lead technical discussions with suppliers to ensure their design aligns with OEM feature intent and system architecture.
  
• Review supplier proposals, requirement compliance, and delivery maturity (SW releases, HW prototypes).
  
• Provide clarifications for all system, functional, and requirement‑related queries.
  
• Own the functional integration plan, ensuring readiness for HIL, bench, and vehicle‑level testing.
  
• Work closely with verification and validation teams to define test strategies, review test specifications, and analyze test reports.
  
• Validate functional performance during vehicle builds (VP, PP, PV) and sign off the function for release.
  
• Ensure diagnostics, communication signals, and safety mechanisms are correctly implemented.
  
• Lead functional issue triage, root cause analysis, and resolution across internal teams and suppliers.
  
• Evaluate and approve Change Requests (CRs) and feature enhancements based on functional impact.
  
• Provide technical guidance and lead troubleshooting activities related to system‑level issues.
