Functional Safety Platform Systems Engineer

Requirements Engineering

• Review and author system design documents, concept proposals, and architecture diagrams (e.g., watchdog timers, independent MPU/CPU monitoring paths, e-motor/inverter torque control, battery management systems, charging systems, or thermal management) to identify and derive functional and non-functional requirements.

• Author and structure requirements in JAMA Connect , ensuring proper linkage to design/architecture and maintaining traceability.

• Support requirements review sessions with design, architecture, and systems engineering stakeholders; incorporate feedback and drive items toward approval/baseline.

• Learn and apply automotive requirement-writing best practices (clarity, testability, verifiability) under guidance from senior engineers.

• Test Case Development & Management

• Develop test cases and procedures derived from approved requirements, tailored to EV subsystem behavior (e.g., battery performance, charging cycles, thermal limits, functional safety behaviors).

• Enter and maintain test cases in JAMA, linking them to corresponding requirements for full traceability.

• Participate in test case peer reviews and revise based on feedback.

• Support the formal approval workflow for test cases prior to execution.

• Verification & Validation Support

• Review test results submitted by the V&V team for completeness, correctness, and alignment with approved test cases and pass/fail criteria.

• Flag discrepancies or anomalies in test data and collaborate with V&V engineers to investigate and resolve.

• Occasionally perform hands-on testing (bench-level, HIL, or vehicle-level as applicable) to validate results or support V&V activities, especially on EV-specific subsystems.

• Assist in documenting and tracking defects/issues found during test review back to originating requirements.

• Process & Documentation

• Follow established requirements and test management processes, ensuring compliance with internal quality standards and relevant automotive standards (e.g., ISO 26262 functional safety, ASPICE).

• Maintain organized, audit-ready records of requirements, test cases, reviews, and approvals in JAMA.

• Support program reviews (e.g., design reviews, test readiness reviews) by providing accurate requirements and test status updates.

• Work closely with senior systems and V&V engineers to continuously build proficiency in EV systems engineering practices.

• Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Automotive Engineering (or related field).

• 1–4 years of experience in systems engineering, requirements engineering, or test/V&V roles (automotive or related industry preferred).

• Exposure to our working knowledge of JAMA Connect or similar requirements/ALM tools (DOORS, Polarion, etc.).

• Basic understanding of requirement traceability and review/approval workflows.

• Ability to read and interpret system architecture diagrams and design specifications.

• Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and written/verbal communication.

• Willingness to learn EV-specific systems (battery, powertrain, charging, thermal management, or ADAS/vehicle controls).

Preferred Qualifications

• Internship, co-op, or prior work experience in automotive or EV product development.

• Familiarity with automotive standards such as ISO 26262 (functional safety) or ASPICE .

• Basic hands-on testing experience (bench setups, HIL, data acquisition tools).

• Exposure to defect tracking tools (JIRA, ALM) and how they integrate with requirements/test management
