    Description

    Our client, a EV Manufacturer company, is looking for a Electrical Engineer 3 for their Remote location.

    Responsibilities:

    • As a Senior Design Release Engineer, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of Emergency Call (eCall) and telematics-based safety systems, with a strong emphasis on system architecture, connectivity, integration, and regulatory compliance.
    • You will be the Feature Owner for Emergency Call Systems (eCall/NG-eCall), Minimum Set of Data (MSD), and Crash-triggered communication workflows, responsible for defining, developing, and validating these features within a complex vehicle ecosystem.
    • This role also includes support and sustaining responsibility for legacy Restraint Control Module (RCM) systems, ensuring continued robustness, regulatory compliance, and integration with next-generation eCall solutions.
    • This position requires cross-functional collaboration across hardware, software, connectivity, and compliance domains.
    • System Design & Feature Ownership (eCall-Centric)
    • Own Emergency Call (eCall) systems, including:
    • Automatic Crash Notification (ACN)
    • Manual eCall trigger (SOS)
    • Minimum Set of Data (MSD) generation and transmission
    • Define and document feature scope, performance requirements, and regulatory constraints (e.g., EN 15722, ECE R144, NG-eCall standards).
    • Architect and allocate system functionality across telematics ECUs, RCM, GNSS, and communication modules.
    • Lead development of system-level interfaces, including:
    • CAN/Ethernet communication between RCM and telematics units
    • Cellular modem interfaces and PSAP communication protocols
    • Define end-to-end crash-to-call workflows, including trigger conditions, data packaging, and call establishment timing.
    • Ensure traceability from requirements through validation using MBSE and requirements management tools.

    Legacy RCM Support & Integration:

    • Provide sustaining engineering support for Restraint Control Module (RCM) systems and associated crash detection logic.
    • Support bug triage, field issue resolution, and continuous improvement for legacy safety systems.
    • Ensure compatibility between existing crash event signals and new eCall/telematics architectures.
    • Collaborate with passive safety teams during crash testing and correlation activities.

    Safety, Compliance & Validation:

    • Define and execute validation plans for eCall systems, including:
    • End-to-end call success rate
    • MSD accuracy and encoding validation
    • Network performance under varying conditions

    Ensure compliance with:

    • Regulatory standards (ECE R144, EN 15722, EN 16072, NG-eCall)
    • Regional homologation requirements (EU, UK, other markets)
    • Functional safety standards (ISO 26262) where applicable
    • Support PSAP simulator testing, certification activities, and homologation submissions.
    • Define fault detection, fallback modes, and diagnostics strategies (e.g., no network, GNSS failure, partial MSD).
    • Ensure readiness for OTA updates, cybersecurity requirements, and remote diagnostics.

    Cross-Functional Collaboration:

    • Manage Tier 1 suppliers delivering telematics ECUs, connectivity modules, and RCM components.
    • Act as the primary technical interface for eCall-related supplier deliverables and issue resolution.

    Coordinate with:

    • Connectivity and telematics teams (modem, network provisioning)
    • Cybersecurity teams (secure communication, authentication)
    • Diagnostics teams (DTCs, serviceability)
    • UX/HMI teams (SOS button behavior, user alerts, call status feedback)
    • Work with homologation and regulatory teams to ensure market readiness.
    • Partner with Passive Safety and Crash teams to validate trigger conditions and system performance in real crash events.

    Program Execution:

    • Drive feature development milestones aligned with vehicle program timing.
    • Support sourcing decisions by evaluating supplier capabilities in telematics and safety systems.
    • Track and report:
    • Feature maturity
    • Integration risks
    • Validation progress
    • Lead issue resolution for field and test failures, including root cause and corrective actions.
    • Champion robust system engineering practices and continuous improvement across lifecycle delivery.

    Requirements:

    • Proven track record in vehicle electrical systems and system integration, preferably in safety or telematics domains.
    • Experience with eCall, telematics systems, or crash notification architectures.
    • Strong understanding of vehicle network architectures (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
    • Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements for emergency call systems.
    • Experience with on-board diagnostics, fault management, and system validation.
    • Solid engineering fundamentals and structured problem-solving approach.
    • Ability to communicate complex system behavior across engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Strong supplier management and cross-functional leadership skills.
    • High attention to detail and commitment to delivering safety-critical systems.
    • Advantageous

    Experience with:

    • EN 15722 (MSD), EN 16072, ECE R144, NG-eCall architectures
