Our client is looking for a Vehicle Systems Engineer who is able to "look at the big picture" and develop solutions and high level architecture. About the Company Our client is one of Australia’s top 100 most innovative companies. They are the leaders in creating a new generation of autonomous electric vehicles, and are currently developing the next generation of mobility, where vehicles run entirely on software and are programmable, improving efficiency and sustainability. Role Purpose As a Systems Engineer you will be instrumental in the capture of customer, regulatory, internal inputs, and translating into technical specifications and high-level designs. You will support the cascading of requirements into the domain engineering teams. Working closely with the Integration & Test teams you will ensure the defined requirements have supporting test cases which are traceable. As the Systems Engineer, you will play a critical part in translating technical specifications into potential architectural solutions, assessing the technical choices to ensure the best trade-off between requirement, schedule, risk and cost are achieved. You will support the Functional Safety team to achieve the defined safety goals of the products under development. The Systems Engineer is required to be an articulate technical communicator with experience interfacing between management, customers, suppliers and domain engineering teams. Key Accountabilities / Responsibilities: Work closely with the Verification and Testing team to ensure system requirements are defined in such a way that they are testable. Interface with domain engineering teams to ensure that the system definition is translated into lower level work products consistent with higher level specifications and use cases. Develop interface control documents to facilitate the correct integration of independently developed components into the overall system. Develop System Architecture Design documents and models to communicate the high level design and design justifications to the domain engineering teams. Document design elaboration including behavioural aspects (sequence diagrams) in the System Architecture Design (SAD). Deliver work products in line with the program schedule, highlighting deficiencies and associated risks to program execution. Ensure identified risks are communicated in an appropriate forum and that a champion is assigned to establish countermeasures. Undertake reviews with domain engineering teams to ensure software, electrical and mechanical requirements align with the system level requirements. Undertake reviews with domain engineering teams to ensure software, electrical and mechanical architecture design is compatible with the overall system architecture. Utilise the relevant toolchains to develop, release and control system requirements and architecture artefacts. Lead resolution of system architecture issues raised by domain engineering teams. Ensure issues are appropriately tracked in the relevant toolchain, and where required (based on program status) create an Engineering Change Request for architecture evolutions. Leverage organisational knowledge and SMEs to optimise/accelerate System Architecture definition. Key Competencies: An Engineering degree in mechanical, electronics, computer science, or equivalent experience. Demonstrated experience in a system engineering role involving software, electrical and/or mechanical engineering domains. Proficient in use case analysis, requirements capture, requirements development, refinement, and release for execution. Capable of supporting the development, assessment, and work product generation for complex system architectures. Sound understanding of the v-model development lifecycle through requirements, design, implementation, testing and support. Capable of working collaboratively with engineering teams to ensure all interdependencies at a system level are clearly identified and understood to drive a high level of integration in our products. Sound understanding of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and/or INCOSE best practices. Understanding of the standards of functional safety ISO26262, IEC61508 and/or ASIL. Please be aware you must be an Australian citizen or have permanent residency status to apply for this role. Please submit your resume in WORD format ONLY.
