Function Design Engineer

ROLE PROFILE
 
This role is responsible for supporting the design and development of Propulsion systems and capabilities in the system engineering core system at the logical and physical solution domain. You will support the team on the building of generic system artifacts for new and existing Powertrain propulsion concepts, capabilities and features in the BEV space contributing on the activities to achieve legal compliance, meets customer attributes expectations and are competitive in the market.
Some of these artifacts are (but not limited to) customer requirements mapping , feature/capability definition, Use case analysis, Logical architecture diagram, FFA/FMEA , generic functional requirements cascade, test case mapping, target generation and issue resolution for Powerpacks.

Key Performance Indicators
• Support the integration team on the design of PT propulsion systems, control Strategy/SFW concepts. 
• Support on robust requirements creation, cascade to commodities ( EDUs/Battery/EDS/BMS/Cooling etc ) and targets delivered on-cycle to programmes.
• Help develop System artifacts ( use case analysis, LAD, FFA/DFMEA/DRBFM, DVP, requirements, standards) developed off-cycle and updated on-cycle as required.
• Support development of new functions delivered by statement of capability (SOC) and Feature statement of intent (FSOI) process.
• Contribute in the System compatibility Issues identification, and support on the solutions.
• Collaborate on the development of specified engineering methods, computer tools and aids applied.
• Support the analysis of complex data from CAE and physical test properties.
• Participate in technical reviews/forums and resolve complex cross functional issues.
• Contribute on the development of Standards, methods, and best practices, supporting technical studies into
future technologies.
