What will you do
You will work with the complexity of electrically connecting several components with different functionality and design on a voltage class B DC link, and all aspects that follow with it. Such as compatibility, requirement balancing, harmonizing HW design with system/vehicle functionality, and electrical safety.
Add to this: combinations with AC circuits and relation to voltage class A circuits to further extend the system complexity. A big part of the responsibility is to make a design aligned with regulations and standards such as UN R100, ADR, ISO 6469, ISO 17409, SAE J2910, IEC 61140, IEC 60664, etc. The design should also be cost-efficient and meet high performance requirements with quality over time.
Typical tasks within the team
- Write and release platform requirement specifications
- Review component designs and deviation handling
- Develop and maintain S-FMEA
- Concept studies: e.g., fault protections, functionality SW vs. HW
- Roadmap and platform development
- Product knowledge management, i.e., product ownership over time: education, problem solving, verification and log data
