About the job

Job Description:

To be able to breakdown high level features of Vehicle Access and Start into sub-components both at onboard and offboard level that will be developed by different sub-teams. The sub-teams can include component engineers within Stellantis that work with supplier part release process and also supplier technical teams. Adapt PFDI (Physical and Functional Design Integration) requirements to Component/Sub-System Level Requirements. Design Software Architecture specific to component and sub-system at Vehicle Level Implementation. Prepare Software Models for Vehicle Access and Start Feature related components and sub-system behavior interface both at onboard and offboard level. Lead, design, develop and validate software around component hardware provided by suppliers with supplier support. Develop solutions for a software modular approach with software vendors and module component vendors. Work with specific chip vendors to develop custom specific application ASIC with Stellantis driven software solutions. Lead and supervise at a technical level Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier activities with design, development and validation of components and their associated subsystems level interactions. Determine decoupled projects - scope, define the architecture, select supplier and deliver results towards a production vehicle target.

Key Specialization:

• Digital Key Smartphone Feature implementation of Vehicle Access and Start Components both at sub-system and vehicle level including onboard and offboard components.
• Understanding of software driven system module engineering skills focused on vehicles access and start features both at components level and vehicle sub-system level
• Understanding at system level and expertise on how software interface should be designed between modules on the vehicle
• Understanding of complex cockpit system comprising Infotainment and cluster domains.
• Understanding of hardware focused on RF design and software breakdown around RF data protocol into sub-systems.

Responsibilities Include:

• Design software architecture driving a cost optimized hardware solution specific to vehicle access and start components at sub-system and vehicle level Implementation.
• Prepare and Optimize RF data link software-based Models for Digital Key Vehicle Access and Start Feature and other interior wireless cockpit products that include interior sensing and biometrics.
• Support an extended team in design, development and validation of component hardware and software provided by suppliers with both internal software developers and supplier support teams.
• Develop software-based solutions for a hardware modular approach with hardware and software vendors and if necessary traditional Tier 1 module component vendors.
• Work with specific chip vendors to develop custom specific RF application ASICs with Stellantis driven software-based solutions.
• Support extended teams within Stellantis at a technical level related to Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier activities related to design, development and validation of components and their associated subsystems level interactions.
• Define and prepare need based technical reasoning for new decoupled projects as needed - scope, define the architecture.
• Actively support supplier selection process/efforts and deliver results towards production vehicle target launch milestones.
• Digital Key Vehicle Access and Start Control feature includes NFC keycard, keyfob and smartphone as customer user devices.
• Liaison with Stellantis and supplier validation teams as a functional expert with their automated multi-layered test systems , starting from virtualized environment, test rack, vehicle rig, to prototype vehicle.
• Support sub-system validation teams as a functional expert to help define the needed automation framework.
• Work with suppliers and internal cross functional team to support and monitor the feature is validated at sub-system and vehicle level.
• Deep understanding of validation requirements both at component level, sub-system level and within a vehicle environment.
• Understanding of Test automation framework and the ability to specify the test scope to all systems.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering or related field.
• Technical experience including specific experience with wireless RF component and sub-system design around Digital Key Vehicle Access and Start features.
• System Engineering experience at sub-system bench level and vehicle level system engineering

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's Degree and specialization in various smartphone devices apps and OS within Digital Key framework.
• Experience working on Digital Key Vehicle Access systems.
• RF based Vehicle Access Design (hardware and software) production implementation experience both at components and sub-system level.
• Understanding of Cockpit feature implementation of Vehicle Access and Start Components both at sub-system and Vehicle level.
• Understanding of complex Cockpit system comprising Infotainment and Cluster domains.
• Understanding of hardware focused on RF design and software breakdown around RF data protocol into sub-systems Understanding of Cockpit features.
