Position description

The EV/HEV Powertrain Chief Engineer will help us move from individual architectures to platform-based, modular, scalable systems that meet world-class standards in technology, safety, cybersecurity, cost and performance.

Role Description

The EV/HEV Powertrain Functional Group leader is the technical authority for EV and HEV powertrain architectures (that is, from Cell/BMS/Battery to Electric Motor output) and roadmap across our 2W and 3W/4W product lines. This role owns the architectural integrity of every vehicle we ship today and every vehicle we will ship in the next 10 years as well as the technology roadmap on EV and HEV powertrain technologies.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain current and next-generation EV and HEV powertrain architectures from requirements to functional, logical and physical deployment.
• Drive modularity and scalability across platforms.
• Lead architectural trade-off studies (performance / cost / weight / time-to-market / safety) with quantified decision.
• Own the powertrain integration as a system. Ensure that all components of the powertrain blend perfectly together in order to deliver the required targets with the highest quality standard.
• Maintain a 5-year product architecture roadmap and contribute to a 10-year technology roadmap.
• Own the cascade of requirements from vehicle level to subsystem level (Battery Subsystem / eDrive Subsystem / Charging Subsystem) and component level (M-CTR / DC/DC / MCU / BMS) with a platform approach.
• Approve subsystem and component requirement specifications before release to component teams.
• Drive interface definition (electrical, mechanical, software, diagnostic) between subsystems and components.
• Establish and maintain system-level design guidelines (HV safety, EMC, grounding strategy, derating, thermal, mechanical).
• Lead design reviews at every program gate for all powertrain components.
• Arbitrate cross-component technical trade-offs based on system and project needs.
• Mentor and grow the powertrain team: build technical depth in the across battery, eDrive, powertrain controls, system engineering, integration and embedded systems.
• Establish a documentation discipline across decisions, requirements and validation activities.
• Identify and evaluate technology trends (cell chemistries, EV topologies, voltage migrations, ECUs integration, SDVs, ARAS..).
• Sponsor proof-of-concept projects with internal teams and academic/start-up partners.
• Generate IP from architectural innovation.
• Collaborate with E/E System integration team to D&D on vehicle-level E/E architecture.
• Collaborate with component teams (Battery, motor, MCU, VCU, BMS, OBC, DC-DC, Power distribution) on requirements and design reviews.
• Partner with manufacturing, quality, and supplier management on producibility, field issues and supplier technical evaluation.
• Own the EV/HEV Powertrain architectural input to ISO 26262 work products (Item Definition, HARA, FSC, TSC, ASIL allocation) jointly with the FuSa Lead.
• Own the EV/HEV Powertrain architectural input to ISO 21434 work products (Item Definition, TARA, Cybersecurity goals, Cybersecurity Concept) jointly with the CyberSecurity Lead.
• Ensure architectural decisions are consistent with safety and cybersecurity goals.
