Powertrain Systems Engineer

Job DescriptionWe are seeking an experienced Powertrain Systems Engineer to lead system-level analysis, requirement engineering, and functional decomposition for next-generation propulsion systems. The role involves working across mechanical, electrical, and software domains to define, analyze, and validate powertrain system behavior across the V-model development lifecycle. The candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams and support agile development of advanced propulsion technologies including conventional and hybrid systems.Key ResponsibilitiesPerform powertrain system function analysis and functional decomposition for vehicle propulsion systemsLead requirements elicitation, definition, and traceability from system level down to software level across the V-model lifecycleDevelop and maintain high-level propulsion system functional requirements using IBM DOORS / IBM DOORS Next Generation (DNG)Define and document system attributes, interfaces, and requirements traceability in DNGIdentify, analyze, and document propulsion system operating modes and system behaviorsUnderstand and model energy conversion, storage, and delivery mechanisms in propulsion systemsEnsure compliance with automotive standards, including OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) requirementsParticipate in Agile development processes, including backlog planning, sprint reviews, and risk identificationDevelop simulation and virtual models for propulsion features/functions using MATLAB/SimulinkCreate system architecture models using SysML tools such as IBM RhapsodyCollaborate with cross-functional teams including software, calibration, validation, and hardware engineering teamsSupport system validation, integration, and change management across the product lifecycleProfessional SkillsPowertrain system engineering (conventional & hybrid propulsion systems)System-level function analysis & functional decompositionRequirements engineering & traceability (V-Model lifecycle)IBM DOORS / DOORS Next Generation (DNG) for requirements managementPropulsion system operating modes definition & analysisAutomotive powertrain architecture & vehicle system understandingVehicle dynamics and overall vehicle behavior understandingMATLAB / Simulink for simulation and virtual modelingSysML / IBM Rhapsody for system modeling and architecture designAutomotive standards compliance (including OBD - On-Board Diagnostics)Agile methodology (backlog planning, sprint participation, risk identification)Cross-functional collaboration (software, calibration, validation, hardware teams)Change management and vehicle development lifecycle understandingTechnical documentation and requirement specification development
