Propulsion Systems Engineer

Role Overview

• Architectural Development: Lead the definition and implementation of new systems engineering architectures specifically for powertrain systems, including engine, transmission, and electrified vehicle control systems.
• Process Standards: Contribute to global policies, procedures, and process documentation for MBSE and systems engineering within the powertrain domain.
• Technical Design Reviews: Lead Technical Design Reviews (TDRs) for complex systems and system-level modeling, and drive technical discussions to balanced conclusions.
• Technical Subject Matter Expert: Serve as the primary technical lead for resolving complex systems engineering challenges in architecting, development, and detailed design.
• MBSE Oversight: Provide oversight within the propulsion controls and calibration area for the creation and maintenance of Core MBSE artifacts, including modeling standards and Requirements/Test Procedures.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate with global technical specialists and attribute teams to ensure powertrain controls and calibration are integrated with software, hardware, and electrical architectures.
• Mentorship and Training: Coach and train the engineering workforce on systems engineering standards and "systems thinking" principles.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify and introduce new technologies and tools, such as AI and advanced CAE, to optimize the systems engineering process.
• Industry Compliance: Drive alignment with the industry standards, including INCOSE and ISO 15288:2023.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or a related engineering field is required.
• Minimum of 10 years of engineering experience, with at least 5 years focused on Systems Engineering, Systems Architecture, or Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Demonstrated expertise in systems thinking, Failure Mode Avoidance (FMA), and formal Systems Engineering methodologies to solve complex problems.
• Proven history of evaluating and improving engineering processes, with a demonstrated ability to challenge and replace non-value-added deliverables.
• Ability to lead and align multi-disciplinary teams and effectively communicate technical positions to all levels of management.
• Proven history of evaluating technical choices and directing teams based on technical ideals balanced with industrialization realities.
• Master’s degree in Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, or a related engineering field is preferred.
• INCOSE certification (CSEP or ESEP) or OMG certifications in MBSE modeling are preferred.
• Prior automotive and powertrain-specific experience is desired but considered secondary to the mastery of systems engineering principles.
• Proficiency in UML and SysML modeling languages preferred. Experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering development utilizing MagicDraw/3DX toolkit is preferred.
• Basic software/script development in Python or other development environments is preferred.
