Hybrid - This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to their primary location three times per week, at minimum, or other frequency dictated by the business.
The Team:
The Low Voltage Infrastructure Team within the Embedded Platform Systems & Infrastructure (EPSI) organization is focused on the development of systems and controls centered around on-vehicle low voltage power generation, energy storage, power management, distribution, and consumption control. There is no better time to join this newly formed team as we evolve to the next generation of low voltage power architectures and consumption control strategies in SDV2.0!
The Role:
As a Senior System Engineer for Activation Power Management at GM, you will be a key engineering solution driver in the context for the Activation Management domain within the Low Voltage Infrastructure organization. Your expertise and passion for optimizing power consumption are essential to innovate and deliver solutions governing the activation and deactivation of software and ECUs in the vehicle.
This domain is essential for meeting challenging range/fuel economy targets and preserving low voltage battery charge while the vehicle is off, through ensuring optimum low voltage power consumption.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities):
- Develop and drive the requirements and ART system context for the Activation Management domain connecting desired functionality to software implementation.
- Lead and support decomposition of product feature technical specification and portfolio epics to create and document system architecture, requirements and test cases.
- Lead SFMEAs analysis and documentation.
- Define interfaces and ensure seamless integration and interaction between software solutions and hardware components.
- Communicate the functional architectural solution and context to the engineering team.
- Contribute to refining the priority of work for the engineering teams.
- Collaborate with internal/external teams to build the architectural runway and identify enablers.
- Define the solution context including supported technologies, interfaces, and APIs, current and future deployment requirements, functional and non-functional requirements.
- Flow down requirements to ART features.
- Engage in building system-level requirements and validating system performance against these requirements, ensuring validation strategies are robust, cost-effective, and efficient.
- Collaborate with System Engineers, Product Managers, Subsystem Lead Engineers, Controls Designers and others in the functional architecture development and decomposition to subsystems and SW solutions.
- Guide development of technical specifications, interface requirements, context diagrams, decomposition diagrams, epic decomposition, and technical feasibility analysis.
- Provide technical direction and guidance to agile teams throughout all phases of ART Kanban.
- Collaborate with the Product Management team to review and update backlog item definitions, develop acceptance criteria and benefit hypotheses, determine technical feasibility and scope estimates.
