Verantwortlichkeiten: POSITION SUMMARY: The Integrated Lighting Systems Engineer develops integrated lighting solutions for exterior automotive systems, with a primary focus on accent lighting, illuminated exterior features, and new customer-facing lighting concepts. This role combines lighting engineering expertise with a systems-engineering mindset to integrate optical, electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing requirements into robust exterior system solutions. The position is focused on customer-visible exterior lighting features and innovation rather than traditional regulatory lamp development, supporting next-generation illuminated exterior systems that strengthen technology, design intent, customer experience, brand differentiation, and manufacturability. ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: • Lead the system definition, development, and integration of exterior lighting features, with emphasis on accent lighting, illuminated exterior components, and brand-differentiating lighting functions. • Translate customer expectations, styling intent, product requirements, and technical constraints into clear system requirements and functional specifications. • Define and execute the Statement of Work / Statement of Requirements for integrated lighting systems and related sub-systems. • Cascade requirements to optical, electrical, electronic, software, mechanical, trim, and manufacturing teams to ensure a complete and feasible system solution. • Support concept development for new lighting solutions including illuminated grilles, exterior accent lighting, welcome/goodbye animations, light guides, light pipes, projection features, and smart surfaces. • Ensure customer requirements, applicable regulations, product specifications, cost, timing, safety, reliability, quality, and manufacturing feasibility are considered in the system design. • Collaborate with styling, product engineering, electronics, software, optics, suppliers, manufacturing, purchasing, and program teams to develop innovative and robust integrated lighting solutions. • Prepare and maintain engineering deliverables including system specifications, sub-system specifications, interface control documents, system architecture, compliance matrix, system bill of materials, DFMEA, DVP&R, prototype plans, engineering changes, and technical reviews. • Participate in creation and analysis of system models, simulations, prototypes, and validation plans for lighting performance, integration, thermal behavior, durability, and perceived quality. • Identify and promote new lighting technologies, materials, suppliers, and integration approaches that can improve the value, appearance, performance, or manufacturability of exterior systems. • Manage assigned work packages in Trax or equivalent requirements-management tools, ensuring traceability, timely completion, and alignment with project deliverables. • Apply ISO 26262, ASPICE, or equivalent automotive system-development practices when applicable to program scope, while maintaining primary focus on integrated accent lighting innovation and robust system execution. • Support customer discussions, innovation reviews, technical workshops, and system-level trade-off decisions related to exterior lighting integration. OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES: • Conduct engineering testing of electromechanical systems from proof-of-concept mockups through customer validation testing. • Use system analysis tools, such as LabVIEW, programmers, oscilloscopes, meters, and analyzers, to evaluate system performance and troubleshoot system functions when issues arise. • Review, approve, complete, and submit required change notices to ensure the system meets design inputs. • Participate in code reviews and component design reviews with peers and customers to ensure system requirements are fulfilled. • Develop new project documentation and optimize existing project documentation to add value and improve communication efficiency. • Support system analysis activities. Demonstrate fundamental understanding of, and ability to apply, basic mathematical models for mechatronic systems and software simulations using tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and software development environments for embedded applications. • Independently prioritize task completion and issue resolution to ensure compliance with customer requirements and program deliverables. Contribute to the development of project timing. • Communicate effectively within the project team and with customers, suppliers, manufacturing teams, and quality teams with minimal guidance from engineering management and engineering personnel. • Works with senior engineering personnel to support and drive best practices in design specifications, manufacturing processes, customer requirements, and safety requirements. • Understand and execute internal change management processes and adapt to customer change management systems to ensure accuracy and proper protocol when processing engineering change requests. • Analyzes products and formulates engineering conclusions by the application of engineering and/or mathematical principles and tools. Applies QFD, FEA, FMEA, DOE, VA/VE and DFM/DFA, as required in the development of the product. • Support the Global Systems team as required. • Understand and follow existing policies, procedures, work instructions, and standards, and make recommendations for continuous improvement. • Follow Magna’s Code of Conduct & Ethics and related compliance policies.
