assumptions, constraints, and rationale.

• Lead architecture trade‑off studies (performance, cost, safety, scalability, reuse) and act as the technical decision

authority for system architecture topics within the project.

• Apply MBSE principles and SysML for system modelling, requirement decomposition, and architectural definition, using

at least one architectural tool (preferably EA).

• Contribute to overall project scope definition for controller electronic hardware (eHW) and software development,

including functional safety and cybersecurity aspects.

adherence to internal ASPICE‑based development processes.

• Review system work products to ensure quality and consistency.

• Coordinate with the System Test Lead (SYTL) to ensure test coverage and traceability.

• Collaborate with global teams on Systems Engineering assignments and tasks.

What we are looking for:

• The ideal candidate while meeting the Education & Experience Qualification listed above, should also have experience

working within an ASPICE-based process environment or similar.

• Proficiency with MS Project and a task management tool such as Atlassian JIRA, IBM Rational RTC,

or Polarion is essential.

• You must possess knowledge of V-Model Development Methodology and Systems Engineering principles.

• Preferred qualifications include experience delivering a project with functional safety (ISO 26262) requirements,

propulsion, power electronics, software, or electric motor system experience.

• Knowledge of Cybersecurity (ISO 21434) and strong knowledge of systems engineering principles and guidelines (e.g.,

INCOSE) will distinguish exceptional candidates
