Role Purpose                                                                                   

As a Systems Engineer you will be instrumental in the capture of customer, regulatory, internal Applied EV 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.

The Systems Engineer plays 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.

The Systems Engineer understands and practices a Systems Engineering approach and has an ability to decompose complexity using different levels of abstraction and expression.

The Systems Engineer 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

• Capture and elaboration of system level requirements for the Blanc Robot and Digital Backbone which can be cascaded down to engineering teams to enable product development.
• Working closely with the Verification and Testing team to ensure System Requirements are defined in such a way that they are testable.
• Interfacing 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 risk to program execution. Ensure that 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.

The ideal candidate will bring

• 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.

Other Useful Experience

• Certification / Qualifications relating to Systems Engineering.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
• Model Based System Engineering experience will be highly regarded.
• Experience will System Requirement management tool such as Polarion, DOORS or Jama.
• Experience in Product Lifecycle Management tools such as Teamcenter.
• Execution experience in electric mobility technologies will be highly regarded.
• Industry experience in robotics, automotive or similar.

• Experience working closely with electrical and software engineering teams on safety critical systems with human interaction. Understanding of the standards of functional safety ISO26262, IEC61508 and/or ASIL.
