What they need
WAT ZOEKEN WE
As System Architect – Vehicle Electrical Systems , you will be responsible for defining and developing the electrical system architecture of advanced vehicles, with a particular focus on hybrid vehicle platforms .
You will translate vehicle-level requirements into a coherent electrical architecture and ensure that is technically feasible, scalable, safe, manufacturable, serviceable, and ready for mass production .
As system architect of the vehicle electrical system, you will work closely with system architects, electrical and mechanical engineers, software teams, safety engineers, suppliers, and project management.
- Define the vehicle electrical system architecture, including energy generation, energy storage, power distribution, energy conversion, electrical loads, control units, sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces.
- Translate vehicle-level requirements into electrical system requirements and architectural concepts, defining interfaces, dependencies, performance requirements, and allocation of functions to electrical and electronic subsystems.
- Evaluate electrical architectures for hybrid vehicles, and ensure functional, electrical, and technical safety requirements are incorporated into the architecture.
- Define and coordinate electrical interfaces and communication architectures, including CAN, and Ethernet, ensuring consistent data and power interfaces between subsystems.
- Coordinate the integration of electrical systems with mechanical, software, thermal, and vehicle-level architectures, resolving technical conflicts and ensuring that system-level constraints are addressed early in the design process.
- Lead architectural trade-off studies and design decisions, considering performance, reliability, safety, weight, cost, packaging, maintainability, scalability, and manufacturability.
- Maintain the electrical system architecture throughout the vehicle lifecycle, supporting design reviews, engineering changes, configuration management, verification and validation, and production.
AAN WELKE KWALIFICATIES MOET JE VOLDOEN
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- Several years of professional experience in vehicle electrical/electronic systems, automotive systems engineering, electrical system architecture definition
- Strong understanding of vehicle electrical architectures, including power generation and distribution, energy storage, electrical loads, ECUs, sensors, actuators, and vehicle communication networks
- Experience with hybrid and/or electric vehicle architectures, including high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems, electric drives, batteries, inverters, DC/DC converters, and energy management
- Strong systems engineering capability, including requirements engineering, interface definition, system decomposition, architectural design, trade-off analysis, and system integration
- Understanding of functional safety, EMC, reliability, and applicable automotive standards and regulations is highly desirable
- Experience with architecture, electrical design, CAD (e.g. E³.series, Zuken, AutoCAD Electrical) PDM (e.g. Teamcenter), requirements-management (e.g. Doors), and systems-engineering tools is required
- Excellent command of English and Dutch; German language skills are considered a strong plus
