• Lead the development of features at the systems engineering level from concept feature development to production and manage feature upgrade and migration plan. This includes defining requirements, designing architecture, implementing code, and conducting thorough testing. Evaluate potential design options to make appropriate proposals considering feature requirements, available technology, efficiency, and platform capabilities. This includes conducting feasibility studies, prototyping solutions, and analyzing performance metrics.

• Model the system from the data abstraction layer, simplifying complex systems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts. This involves using modeling tools and techniques to represent the system's behavior and to facilitate communication and collaboration among team members.

• Allocate features and functions across electronic modules and subsystems to meet cost, quality and feature performance targets.

• Develop feature specifications, feature Failure Mode Avoidance documentation, feature verification plan, etc. Own and craft DFMEA's through the standard development process. Apply experience in supporting product/feature validation and failure root cause analysis.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather business requirements, use cases, user experience, performance measures, and system interfaces between key components and translate them into tangible technical specifications, and drive feature development. This involves working closely with software engineers, data scientists, hardware engineers, and product managers.

• Review existing system designs to find new opportunities for cost or quality improvement. Interact with program teams, core engineers and functional areas to create balanced solutions to competing requirements.

• Champion Technical Design Reviews, solicit feedback from all partners, ensure agreement including Privacy/Legal, Security, Safety (if required) in addition to functional and non-functional requirements.

• Apply test-driven-development mindset in progressing a system concept to implementation through various stages (from requirements to integration and launch).

• Automate testing procedures and build comprehensive test suites to ensure the quality and reliability of features systems. This includes designing test cases, developing automated test scripts, and analyzing test results to identify and resolve issues.

• Develop and author product-specific requirements, evaluating quality and aiding to triage issues to determine root cause. This involves working with development teams to ensure that the code meets the required specifications and to resolve any defects.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Automotive Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.

• 1+ years of programming experience using SQL, JAVA, C, C++ or Python along with MATLAB/Simulink, SysML, or similar.

• 4+ years of experience performing systems analysis and designing systems, subsystems, or components defining requirements as described above.

• 2+ years of experience: investigating and resolving feature-specific issues during product development and launch; or analyzing system failure points and evaluating solution proposals including conducting high level FMAs and FMEAs.

• 2+ years of experience: interfacing cloud-to-vehicle modem communications; or applying network communication protocols, transport protocols, and payload optimization techniques.

• 2+ years utilizing automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc.)

• 2+ Years Experience in Automotive/Cloud Features development
