Braking ART Functional System Architect - Milford Proving Ground - Bldg 104 - Vehicle Integration

Job Description

Work Arrangement​​:

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford Proving Ground, Milford, MI three times per week, at minimum.

The role:

The candidate must be able to take high level Braking System feature concepts and translate them into Feature, System and Subsystem detailed requirements and to create a physical and functional decomposition for controls, software and hardware teams to implement. In many cases, concepts are not always well defined, and the requirement generation can involve considerable research/investigation/Simulation/Math to be transformed into publishable requirements and architectures. Candidate must be an expert with Braking System Functional, performance, Fault analysis, Fault Propagation, Fault maturation and remedial action strategies as well as all regional regulatory requirements. Candidate must have a strong background in ASIL D safety systems. Candidate must be a highly effective leader, communicator and collaborator. The candidate will be the technical lead of a large team of Function engineers in order to define all aspects of a vehicle braking systems.

What You’ll Do:

I) Comprehend and Define Functional System Requirements and architectures.

• Technical leader of large group of engineers to define all aspects of vehicle Braking Systems. Mentoring, guidance and review of Function Engineers work products

• Directly support development scrum teams in the Braking ART.

• Work with adjacent teams to capture customer facing requirements (NVH, Performance, functionality, Diagnostics, Remedial actions)

• Reference System Safety Hazard Analysis and partition safety hazard requirements to functions

• Comprehend applicable government regulations

• Integration of Brake System into the vehicle including interfaces with other disciplines (steering, Propulsion, Active Safety, etc.)

• Develop acceptance Criteria for new/modified features and ensure acceptance criteria are met prior to releasing

II) Define Functional Controls and Hardware Requirements

• Define remedial actions based on fault detection, Propagation and Maturation

• Define context diagram, Functional Architecture Diagrams and hardware integration of the functions

• Define the functional and physical partitioning of requirements and overall architecture to ECUs

• Define function’s interface requirements (including aging, build variation, Noise factors, environmental factors, conflicting constraints, etc.)

• Define functional requirements and mapping of inputs to outputs

• Support creation of Braking System Performance Requirements.

• Support creation of actuator and sensor Functional and performance requirements (HW)

• Define how inputs to the function are used to transform the outputs (latency, overshoot, oscillation, etc.)

• Define/Support calibratable aspects of the function

• Define diagnostic, degraded state, remedial action, and recovery requirements

• Define use cases and measurable/objective performance requirements for normal and degraded states

• Define signal/data retention requirements

• Lead System/Subsystem DFMEAs and participate in design level DFMEAs

• Mange requirements utilizing GM requirements Standard tool suites

• Deliver requirements, and tested products on time

Additional Job Description

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)​​:

• Bachelors Degree of Engineering required

• Minimum of 7 years of experience with Vehicle Braking Systems or General Chassis Systems

• Minimum of 7 years of experience with ASIL D safety systems.

• Minimum of 7 years of experience with Vehicle Dynamics/Kinematics

• Expert understanding of the physics related to related Systems.

• Ability to make sense of chaos and translate into the understandable
