Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham, Canada three times per week, at minimum.

About The Role:

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 .

What You’ll Do:

  • 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.

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 :

  • 12V electrical system architecture, including power distribution, grounding, protection, and load management.

  • Understanding of vehicle LV networks and ECUs (body, gateway, chassis, infotainment-adjacent, and domain controllers).

  • Experience with fusing strategies, wake/sleep management, power modes, and energy budgeting.

  • Knowledge of CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and diagnostics (UDS) as they relate to LV 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 voltage stability, current limits, transient behavior, and fault propagation.

  • Experience with system-level FMEAs, fault handling strategies, and graceful degradation in LV systems.

  • Understanding of integration between LV systems and higher-voltage domains (e.g., HV interactions, wake coordination, 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 .

  • 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.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • 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 .

Compensation: 

The salary range for this role is $147000 to $196600. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.
