Senior Electrical Architecture Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Architecture Engineer to join our team. This individual will play a pivotal role in the development and evolution of electrical architecture concepts. The candidate will be responsible for breaking down product and imperative vehicle requirements into electrical architecture attributes, identifying different concepts to support the performance of these attributes, and using data-driven insights to develop decision matrices to support recommended solutions.

The ideal candidate should have a robust background in electrical architecture, electrical interfaces, physical design, communication network  as well security concepts, functional partitioning concepts, and a solid understanding of low-voltage system energy control as  well power up and shut down  functionality and control . This role will require a blend of technical expertise, innovative thinking, and hands-on experience to deliver reliable and high-performance concept solutions  for our products.

• Break down product and vehicle requirements into electrical architecture attributes
• Develop and propose various electrical architecture concepts that support performance expectations
• Define, design, and optimize electrical systems for product integration and vehicle applications
• Analyze data-driven insights and create models to simulate and validate the performance of proposed concepts
• Use advanced analytical tools to assess system behavior and ensure the proposed electrical architectures meet all performance and safety requirements
• Identify and evaluate different electrical architecture concepts to support required attributes and vehicle functionality
• Explore innovative and emerging technologies in electrical architecture, including low-voltage monitoring and serial data security
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including mechanical, software, and testing) to assess feasibility and support prototype development.
• Prepare detailed technical documentation to communicate electrical architecture concepts, models, and recommendations
• Provide regular updates and reports on project status, challenges, and results to stakeholders
• Work closely with internal teams, external partners, and suppliers to ensure seamless integration of electrical architecture into product designs
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the development of best practices within the team

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 10+ years of experience in electrical architecture design, with a strong focus on physical design, functional partitioning, and low-voltage monitoring
• Expertise in serial data security concepts and their application within electrical architectures
• Experience working in the automotive or other complex electrical system industries
• Proficiency in AUTOSAR, CAN, LIN and automotive Ethernet, electrical design tools and software (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, ECAD, Capita, Polarion, Doors tools)
• Knowledge of industry standards (AUTOSAR, UDS, SecOc) and best practices in electrical architecture and safety requirements
• Experience with field data collection, model development, and data-driven decision-making processes
• Understanding of electrical system integration, functional partitioning, and low-voltage systems.

• ISO126262
• Black belt DFSS
• Agile product owner
