Description
We are seeking a Staff Systems Engineer to join the Vehicle Systems Engineering organization, supporting the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture Chassis products: braking, steering, and suspension. 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 chassis systems architecture direction.
What You’ll Do:
-
Lead system-level architecture, definition, and integration of Chassis 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.
Key Responsibilities
-
System architecture definition and modeling using MBSE
-
Functional decomposition and end-to-end requirement traceability
-
Managing change, dependencies, and architectural allocation using system models
-
Co-simulation strategy and system-level validation planning
-
Definition of acceptance criteria and “definition of done” for system deliverables
-
Providing technical leadership in complex, cross-functional environments, fitting well with technical expectations for system integration, fault strategy ownership, and architectural influence
Core Technical Capabilities
-
Chassis system architecture, including brake, steering and suspension background
-
Understanding of communication networks and ECUs (body, gateway, chassis, infotainment-adjacent, and domain controllers).
-
Knowledge of CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and diagnostics (UDS) as they relate to chassis system behavior and dependencies.
-
Familiarity with SDV concepts, including centralized compute, service-based architectures, and decoupling software from hardware.
-
Ability to analyze and resolve system-level issues related to chassis, including system latency and hardware dependencies
-
Experience with system-level FMEAs, fault handling strategies, and graceful degradation in chassis systems.
-
Understanding of integration between chassis systems and related propulsion domains (e.g., VMS interactions, system latency, safety states).
-
Experience supporting system validation, including HIL/SIL, vehicle testing, and virtual validation approaches.
-
Strong systems thinking across electrical, software, and functional domains to manage complex dependencies.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
-
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.
