We are seeking a Staff Systems Specialist to join the Vehicle Systems Engineering organization, focused on Low Voltage (LV) vehicle systems , supporting the new Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture and 12V system design thinking across the vehicle . This role operates in a highly complex technical space with significant cross-domain dependencies spanning software, hardware, electrical architecture, validation, and virtual environments. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in ambiguous problem spaces , can navigate evolving requirements, and is able to establish themselves as a technical leader by driving clarity, alignment, and robust system solutions. You will translate high-level product intent into scalable, testable system architectures using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) , while influencing technical direction across programs and organizations, including helping shape and influence future SDV and Low Voltage (LV) architecture direction .
Job Responsibility:
Lead system-level architecture, definition, and integration of Low Voltage vehicle systems using MBSE
Decompose product and program intent into system models, functional architectures, and testable software and hardware requirements
Develop and maintain system blueprints, including functional decomposition, logical architectures, interface definitions, requirements, allocations, and FMEAs
Own and evolve MBSE artifacts, such as functional models, use-case, activity, sequence, and context diagrams
Allocate and partition system functionality across multiple implementation teams, supporting architectural trade studies and optimization
Define and maintain co-simulation and virtual validation strategies, including simulation architectures and acceptance criteria
Work closely with software, hardware, validation, electrical architecture, and platform teams to manage complex interdependencies and integration risks
Support system integration, calibration, validation, and issue resolution, including root cause analysis across domains
Ensure system designs meet safety, regulatory, quality, and performance requirements, supporting certification and approvals
Drive continuous improvement in MBSE adoption, modeling quality, and virtual validation capability
Clearly document technical decisions, trade-offs, and deliverables across the product lifecycle
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical, Software, Mechanical, or related field)
7+ years of experience in systems engineering or software-intensive automotive development
Strong expertise in systems architecture, MBSE, requirements development, integration, and validation
Solid background in model-based development and virtual simulation
Experience defining and managing system interfaces, performance targets, and validation/testing strategies
Proficiency with MBSE and requirements tools (e.g., Rhapsody, DOORS / DOORS Next)
Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces and drive clarity
Proven track record of technical leadership, influence, and cross-organizational collaboration
Strong prioritization, execution, and stakeholder management skills
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Nice to have:
Master's degree in Engineering or related field
Advanced experience with MBSE, including Rhapsody modeling (activity, use-case, sequence, context)
Familiarity with Agile / SAFe development methodologies
Understanding of service-oriented architectures (SOA)
Knowledge of CI/CD and continuous testing in software-intensive systems
Experience working in highly interdependent system architectures with multiple stakeholders
Exposure to reliability engineering, functional safety, and regulatory compliance
