Position: Systems Engineer – Vehicle Features (HV Powertrain & Charging Systems) (SML50ST RM 4295)
Job Description
We seeking a Systems Engineer to lead the development and delivery of high-voltage (HV) powertrain and charging features for electrified vehicles (BEV, PHEV, HEV).
This role focuses on defining requirements, developing system architectures, and ensuring successful integration, validation, and production readiness of HV vehicle functions.
You will act as the technical focal point for HV powertrain and charging features, working cross-functionally with engineering teams, suppliers, and OEM stakeholders to deliver robust, customer-focused solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Define, decompose, and manage HV powertrain and charging requirements, ensuring full traceability across system, software, and hardware levels
Develop feature specifications, functional and system requirements, use cases, and interface definitions
Support system architecture development, trade-off studies, and technical decision-making
Lead or contribute to key feature areas including:
HV Powertrain: propulsion systems, torque delivery, drive modes, regenerative braking, energy optimisation, battery performance and SOC/SOH management
Charging Systems: AC/DC charging, fast charging, smart charging, Plug & Charge (ISO 15118), connected and remote charging features, safety and diagnostics
Define and manage system interfaces across battery, charging, electric drive, thermal, control, and connectivity systems (ICDs)
Support integration, verification, and validation activities, including DVP planning, vehicle integration, and defect resolution
