About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As a Systems Engineer for Battery Management Systems (BMS), you will be instrumental in the design, development, and integration of advanced BMS solutions tailored for automotive applications.
You will work within a multidisciplinary team, focusing on the technical aspects of BMS projects, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative products that meet industry standards and customer expectations.
You define and develop the project-specific System Specification, ensuring the "What" is clearly defined for the implementation teams.
You apply and integrate our existing platform architecture (hardware and software blocks) to meet specific customer project requirements.
You define and document robust SW/HW interfaces in accordance with our platform rules to minimize integration friction.
Gather, analyze, and manage system requirements throughout the V-Model development lifecycle using our toolchain.
Conduct system-level analyses (e.g., DFMEA) to identify and mitigate potential design risks early in the process.
Create and maintain essential technical documentation, including system specifications, design documents, and customer-facing user guides.
Serve as the primary technical interface for the project team (Software, Hardware, Test) to resolve technical ambiguities.
Collaborate closely with validation teams to ensure a clear understanding of system behaviors and support integration testing.

Requirements

What you’ll need

University degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
3-5 years of industry experience in Systems Engineering, preferably within the automotive sector (BMS experience is a strong plus).
Deep understanding of the V-Model and Systems Engineering standards (ASPICE, ISO 15288).
Familiarity with Functional Safety (ISO 26262) is highly desirable.
Proficiency with requirements management and architecture tools.
You are structured and communicative, capable of moving projects from ambiguity to clarity. You work effectively in cross-functional teams to ensure the logical and physical architecture matches the customer need.
