Our mission is to ensure the quality of critical attributes such as fault isolation and fault management at the vehicle level, while safeguarding the customer experience for over-the-air (OTA) updates. In addition, we work on data collection as software components (SWC) within IHU, DHU, and UXC.We deliver Product Capabilities (PCs) for Core Systems in the areas of diagnostics, SWDL, measurement/logging, and communication, along with comprehensive documentation. Furthermore, we are responsible for interpretation, systematization, requirements management, validation, and certification documentation in compliance with diagnostic OBD regulations.

What you'll do

A critical part in automotive engineering is to have a deep technical understanding of the system, identify possible failure modes, design and implement monitoring mechanisms, and set strategies for mitigations if failures occur. It is vital to design for availability, robustness, diagnostics and maintenance for all stages of the product lifecycle from innovation, engineering, industrialization, manufacturing and aftermarket.In this assignment, you will be part of the team responsible for the diagnostic design of the core system. The team delivers detailed diagnostic design solutions, system and software requirements as input to teams working with the implementation. The team is also responsible for system verification of the design solutions, as well as maintaining the diagnostic databases of diagnostic entities which are used by, for example, manufacturing and aftermarket. As a system engineer in this team, you will work by analyzing the system architecture, defining diagnostic solutions, and defining the system and software requirements. You will also be part of the team responsible for verifying the core system. You will be responsible for designing and implementing test cases with the purpose of delivering quick and efficient known quality, it also includes monitoring of the execution of our test strategy across our organization.
