Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead system definition for digital key, vehicle access, immobilizer, and starting features. This role focuses on end-to-end system architecture, requirements, and validation for secure, phone-centric vehicle access systems across embedded, wireless, and cloud-connected environments. This is a systems and architecture role with a strong emphasis on wireless technologies and embedded automotive systems. It is not a firmware or application software position.

Responsibilities

• Define system architectures, requirements, and interfaces for digital key and vehicle access features
• Develop use cases, scenarios, state machines, and sequence diagrams
• Own system behaviors across normal, degraded, and failure conditions
• Define and manage requirements in a requirements management system
• Support feature development across Bluetooth, UWB, NFC, CAN, and Automotive Ethernet
• Debug system-level issues across embedded and wireless domains
• Define validation strategies, test specifications, and requirements coverage
• Support simulations and software-in-the-loop verification
• Collaborate closely with software, hardware, cloud, integration, test, HMI, and cybersecurity teams
• Contribute to architecture trade studies and semiconductor integration using automotive-grade components

Day-to-Day Work

• Define system use cases and feature scenarios Refine system architecture details and interfaces
• Debug connectivity and performance issues
• Adjust wireless and vehicle network parameters
• Review test results and support issue resolution
• Collaborate with cybersecurity teams on secure access concepts
• Write system documentation, simulations, and test specifications
• Approximately twenty percent of the role involves coding, primarily in Python.
