WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Develop Charging Core system architectures, requirements and behavioural models using Systems Engineering and MBSE methodologies.
• Translate vehicle and feature requirements into Charging Core requirements, logical architectures, physical architectures and validation artefacts.
• Assess technical constraints, dependencies and opportunities to optimise charging system architectures and vehicle integration.
• Develop and maintain charging system requirements, test methods and validation strategies, ensuring complete traceability from requirement to verification.
• Support the development of charging concepts covering AC charging, DC charging, bidirectional charging, charging communications and charging power management.
• Generate and maintain Core System artefacts including SRDs, SAADs, interface definitions, functional architectures and system documentation.
• Develop validation methods and test cases covering normal operation, fault scenarios and customer usage conditions across all charging functions.
• Analyse, interpret and deploy global charging standards, market requirements, legislation and regulatory changes into Charging Core requirements and architectures.
• Support compliance activities relating to charging regulations, homologation requirements, EMC legislation, electrical safety and Functional Safety objectives.
• Contribute to charging technology roadmaps by evaluating emerging charging standards, infrastructure developments and market trends.
• Support Design Authority activities by preparing technical evidence, architecture proposals and system recommendations.
• Work closely with Energy Storage, ESMS, HV Distribution, Vehicle Architecture and Thermal Systems teams to resolve technical issues and architectural dependencies.
• Support issue resolution and change management activities using structured engineering approaches including AIMS and 8D methodologies.
• Maintain Systems Engineering documentation and configuration management records to support traceability, compliance and quality objectives.
• Support supplier engagement, technical reviews and requirement clarification throughout product development activities.
• Capture lessons learnt and continuously improve charging architectures, engineering processes and validation methodologies across future programmes.
