Job description
Role : Functional Safety Platform Systems Engineer
Location : Dearborn, MI(Onsite)
Type : W2 & C2C contract
Key Responsibilities :
Prerequisite :
Verification & Validation & Requirement traceability -> experience & Knowhow of EGAS
EGAS is (Entwicklergruppe Benzin-Direkteinspritzung) standard that defines a three-layer software architecture
to ensure functional safety in automotive control units
Requirements Engineering
· Review and author system design documents, concept proposals, and architecture diagrams (e.g., watchdog timers, independent MPU/CPU monitoring paths, e-motor/inverter torque control, battery management systems, charging systems, or thermal management) to identify and derive functional and non-functional requirements.
· Author and structure requirements in JAMA Connect , ensuring proper linkage to design/architecture and maintaining traceability.
· Support requirements review sessions with design, architecture, and systems engineering stakeholders; incorporate feedback and drive items toward approval/baseline.
· Learn and apply automotive requirement-writing best practices (clarity, testability, verifiability) under guidance from senior engineers.
Test Case Development & Management
· Develop test cases and procedures derived from approved requirements, tailored to EV subsystem behavior (e.g., battery performance, charging cycles, thermal limits, functional safety behaviors).
· Enter and maintain test cases in JAMA, linking them to corresponding requirements for full traceability.
· Participate in test case peer reviews and revise based on feedback.
· Support the formal approval workflow for test cases prior to execution.
Verification & Validation Support
· Review test results submitted by the V&V team for completeness, correctness, and alignment with approved test cases and pass/fail criteria.
· Flag discrepancies or anomalies in test data and collaborate with V&V engineers to investigate and resolve.
· Occasionally perform hands-on testing (bench-level, HIL, or vehicle-level as applicable) to validate results or support V&V activities, especially on EV-specific subsystems.
· Assist in documenting and tracking defects/issues found during test review back to originating requirements.
Process & Documentation
· Follow established requirements and test management processes, ensuring compliance with internal quality standards and relevant automotive standards (e.g., ISO 26262 functional safety, ASPICE).
· Maintain organized, audit-ready records of requirements, test cases, reviews, and approvals in JAMA.
· Support program reviews (e.g., design reviews, test readiness reviews) by providing accurate requirements and test status updates.
· Work closely with senior systems and V&V engineers to continuously build proficiency in EV systems engineering practices.
Required Qualifications
· Bachelor's degree in electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Automotive Engineering (or related field).
· 1–4 years of experience in systems engineering, requirements engineering, or test/V&V roles (automotive or related industry preferred).
· Exposure to our working knowledge of JAMA Connect or similar requirements/ALM tools (DOORS, Polarion, etc.).
· Basic understanding of requirement traceability and review/approval workflows.
· Ability to read and interpret system architecture diagrams and design specifications.
· Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and written/verbal communication.
·Willingness to learn EV-specific systems (battery, powertrain, charging, thermal management, or ADAS/vehicle controls).
Preferred Qualifications
· Internship, co-op, or prior work experience in automotive or EV product development.
·Familiarity with automotive standards such as ISO 26262 (functional safety) or ASPICE .
· Basic hands-on testing experience (bench setups, HIL, data acquisition tools).
· Exposure to defect tracking tools (JIRA, ALM) and how they integrate with requirements/test management
