Responsibilities

Perform complex sub-system analysis to define functional controls and hardware requirements, including the definition of: Noise factors (e.g., aging, build variation, environmental, etc.) Interface mapping (e.g., inputs to outputs) Actuator and sensor performance requirements Input to output transfer functions (e.g., latency, overshoot, oscillation, etc.) Calibration requirements Regulatory, safety and customer facing interactions (e.g., FE/CO2, DQ, Emissions, NVH, Performance) Signal/data retention
Leverage physical (e.g., vehicle, bench) and virtual (e.g., models, simulation) to establish and test use cases and acceptance criteria for normal and degraded states of applicable sub-systems
Create and maintain Sub-System Technical Specification (SSTS) documents for applicable subsystems
Create and maintain sub-system specifications in requirements management software (e.g., Doors, Jama Connect, codebeamer, etc.)
Lead Triad meetings to generate Behavioral Technical Specification (BTS) documents
Root cause all appliable sub-system related issues and translate solutions into new or revised requirements
Create and maintain architecture models at the “Solution” level using Rhapsody.
Lead sub-system level FMEAs and collaborate on System and Component FMEAs
Use Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Integration Tool (FIT) for managing FMEA processes across applicable subsystems
Create and maintain Features, Stories, and/or Change Requests to manage requirements and specifications of sub-systems using change management tools (e.g., IBM Rational Team Concert, Jira, etc.)
Collaborate with Controls and Software Engineers to review software implementation ensuring compliance with requirements
Review Owner’s Manual and Service Information related to the applicable sub-system
Provide guidance and input for feature design verification plan by working with System and/or Feature Owners and Validation Engineers
Maintain open requirements issue list and review, track, and report on progress and status
Support advanced technical work projects that drive future features and vehicle enhancements
