Key Responsibilities:
\n
\n
Prerequisite:
\n
Verification & Validation & Requirement traceability -> experience & Knowhow of EGAS
\n
EGAS is (Entwicklergruppe Benzin-Direkteinspritzung) standard that defines a three-layer software architecture
\n
to ensure functional safety in automotive control units
\n
\n
Requirements Engineering
\n
- \n
- Review and author system design documents, concept proposals, and architecture diagrams (e.g., watchdog timers, independent MPU/CPU monitoring paths, e-motor/inverter torque control, battery management systems, charging systems, or thermal management) to identify and derive functional and non-functional requirements.
- Author and structure requirements in JAMA Connect, ensuring proper linkage to design/architecture and maintaining traceability.
- Support requirements review sessions with design, architecture, and systems engineering stakeholders; incorporate feedback and drive items toward approval/baseline.
- Learn and apply automotive requirement-writing best practices (clarity, testability, verifiability) under guidance from senior engineers.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Test Case Development & Management
\n
- \n
- Develop test cases and procedures derived from approved requirements, tailored to EV subsystem behavior (e.g., battery performance, charging cycles, thermal limits, functional safety behaviors).
- Enter and maintain test cases in JAMA, linking them to corresponding requirements for full traceability.
- Participate in test case peer reviews and revise based on feedback.
- Support the formal approval workflow for test cases prior to execution.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Verification & Validation Support
\n
- \n
- Review test results submitted by the V&V team for completeness, correctness, and alignment with approved test cases and pass/fail criteria.
- Flag discrepancies or anomalies in test data and collaborate with V&V engineers to investigate and resolve.
- Occasionally perform hands-on testing (bench-level, HIL, or vehicle-level as applicable) to validate results or support V&V activities, especially on EV-specific subsystems.
- Assist in documenting and tracking defects/issues found during test review back to originating requirements.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Process & Documentation
\n
- \n
- Follow established requirements and test management processes, ensuring compliance with internal quality standards and relevant automotive standards (e.g., ISO 26262 functional safety, ASPICE).
- Maintain organized, audit-ready records of requirements, test cases, reviews, and approvals in JAMA.
- Support program reviews (e.g., design reviews, test readiness reviews) by providing accurate requirements and test status updates.
- Work closely with senior systems and V&V engineers to continuously build proficiency in EV systems engineering practices.

- Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Automotive Engineering (or related field).
- 1–4 years of experience in systems engineering, requirements engineering, or test/V&V roles (automotive or related industry preferred).
- Exposure to our working knowledge of JAMA Connect or similar requirements/ALM tools (DOORS, Polarion, etc.).
- Basic understanding of requirement traceability and review/approval workflows.
- Ability to read and interpret system architecture diagrams and design specifications.
- Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and written/verbal communication.
- Willingness to learn EV-specific systems (battery, powertrain, charging, thermal management, or ADAS/vehicle controls).
