Join a forward-thinking engineering team shaping the future of automotive propulsion systems. This role sits at the intersection of functional safety, on-board diagnostics (OBD), and aftersales engineering and ensures vehicles meet global regulatory requirements while delivering performance, reliability, and serviceability across the full lifecycle. As a Subject Matter Expert (SME), you will lead system-level requirements, influence critical design decisions, and collaborate across engineering, suppliers, and regulatory stakeholders to deliver compliant, high-quality solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Lead system-level functional safety, OBD, and aftersales requirements definition for propulsion systems
Own the functional safety lifecycle including safety concepts, safety cases, and assessments (ISO 26262)
Define and approve diagnostic strategies to ensure regulatory compliance (CARB, Euro 7, UN156)
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and regulatory stakeholders
Drive technical decision-making and mentor engineering team members
Ensure serviceability and diagnostic readiness across propulsion system components
Typical Deliverables
Technical safety concepts (TSC) and requirements
Diagnostic strategies, DTC definitions, and diagnostic matrices
Safety analyses (HARA, FTA, FMEA, FMEDA)
Validation plans and compliance documentation
Technical policies and diagnostic specifications
Aftersales and serviceability documentation
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering or related field
Min 8 years of experience in automotive systems, propulsion or embedded control systems
Knowledge of functional safety (ISO 26262), diagnostics, and OBD regulations (CARB CCR 1968.2, UN156, Euro 7)
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications:
Advanced engineering degree
Experience in powertrain systems (ICE, hybrid, electrified)
Experience with diagnostic development, calibration tools, or validation (HiL)
Familiarity with Agile, ASPICE, or AUTOSAR
Experience working with suppliers and global regulatory processes
