Technical Tools

ArchitectConstruction & Real Estate

Take the lead in shaping next-generation vehicle electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures within a multidisciplinary engineering environment. In this role, you will translate functional, technical, and regulatory requirements into robust vehicle-level systems and detailed architectural designs. You will work across ECUs, embedded software, sensors, actuators, and vehicle communication networks to ensure seamless system integration. Collaborating with engineering teams, suppliers, and technology partners, you will help deliver consistent, reliable, and scalable vehicle architectures. You will also contribute to system validation, technical reviews, and continuous improvements throughout the development lifecycle. This opportunity combines advanced automotive engineering, systems architecture, and cross-functional collaboration to support the development of innovative vehicle technologies.

You will be responsible for defining and maintaining vehicle-level E/E architectures, ensuring that system requirements, interfaces, and communication concepts align with technical and regulatory expectations. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will support the integration, validation, and continuous improvement of complex vehicle systems.

Design and develop vehicle-level E/E architectures based on functional, technical, and regulatory requirements.
Translate vehicle requirements into system-, subsystem-, ECU-, and component-level specifications.
Define and maintain system architectures, interfaces, signal flows, and communication concepts.
Design and assess vehicle communication networks, including CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, and diagnostic systems.
Coordinate the integration of ECUs, sensors, actuators, and software components across vehicle domains.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, suppliers, and technology partners to ensure architectural consistency.
Participate in architecture reviews, system integration activities, testing, and technical troubleshooting.
Conduct change impact assessments and evaluate the effects of modifications on vehicle-level systems.
Maintain requirements traceability and ensure consistency across the complete vehicle architecture.
Support engineering development processes and contribute to continuous improvements in system design and integration.
