Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with feature owners and development teams to define system interfaces and software requirements.
• Derive functional requirements from high-level feature requirements.
• Apply model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to define functions, use cases, and system interactions across IVI subsystems.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop feature-based specifications for In-Vehicle Infotainment & Connectivity (IVI-C) modules, including:
• Sync/Phoenix
• Audio Control Module
• DSP Amplifier
• Telematics Control Unit
• Enhanced Central Gateway
• Display modules (e.g., Head-Up Display, Rear Audio Control)
• Perform functional partitioning of features
• Define and develop interfaces between system components
• Specify system-level and ECU software requirements
• Utilize MBSE methodologies for specification development
• Use requirements management tools for authoring, change management, and documentation
• Facilitate working sessions with feature owners, module teams, HMI teams, and platform teams to drive integration strategies

Additional Responsibilities

• Conduct system compatibility analysis and impact assessments across architectures, programs, and markets
• Troubleshoot and resolve system-level and interface-level issues affecting IVI systems
• Support or lead cross-functional coordination for feature integration and deployment

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer, Software, or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• 3 years of experience in:
• Electrical architecture and automotive systems
• Systems engineering
• Requirements development and component/vehicle-level testing
• Strong experience in system issue analysis and resolution
• Knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
• Understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and API design
• Familiarity with Human Factors and HMI design principles
• Knowledge of Requirements Engineering methodologies (INCOSE, EARS, BDD/Gherkin)
• Experience with UML/SysML modeling
• Programming knowledge in C , Python, or Java
• Exposure to automotive infotainment systems or related domains

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with automotive network tools (VehicleSpy, CANalyzer, CANoe, ValueCAN, Ethernet tools)
• Familiarity with requirements tools (DOORS, JAMA, Polarion, VSEM)
• Experience with modeling tools (IBM Rhapsody, MagicDraw)
• Knowledge of version control systems (Git, GitHub)
