Systems Engineer – Vehicle Features (HV Powertrain & Charging Systems) (SML50ST RM 4295)

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:
  o HV Powertrain: propulsion systems, torque delivery, drive modes, regenerative braking, energy optimisation, battery performance and SOC/SOH management
  o 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
• Contribute to acceptance testing, programme gateway reviews, and technical risk management
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including battery, power electronics, controls, vehicle integration, cybersecurity, and suppliers

Key Requirements:

• Degree in Electrical, Systems, Automotive, or related Engineering discipline
• 5+ years’ experience in automotive systems engineering
• Proven experience delivering electrified vehicle systems (HV battery, BMS, EDU, charging, or energy management)
• Strong expertise in requirements engineering, system architecture, integration, and validation
• Good understanding of HV vehicle systems, E/E architectures, and networks (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
• Familiarity with industry standards such as ISO 26262, ISO 21434, ISO 15118, and CCS charging

Tools & Knowledge (Desirable):

• Experience with tools such as DOORS, Polarion, JIRA, Enterprise Architect, CANoe/CANalyzer, MATLAB/Simulink
• Exposure to MBSE, SysML, or Agile methodologies
• Knowledge of diagnostics (UDS, DoIP), functional safety, and cyber security
