EE System Architect

Garrett Advancing Motion is the true pioneer of automotive turbocharging dating back more than 60 years and continues today as the world’s leader in turbo technology solutions for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and off-highway equipment. Garrett supplies turbos to nearly all major automakers in addition to the global aftermarket under the Garrett brand name. As a result, unlike many other OEM or supplier organizations, Garrett Advancing Motion has visibility across a broad range of OE Ms and Tier 1 suppliers.  

We have an exciting new opening for a Systems Architect. You’ll be given the opportunity to develop next-generation products and technologies for the automotive industry.  

As an individual contributor to the Electrification Center of Excellence (eCOE) System Architect drives the following activities: 


• Ownership of EE system architecture design activities for active projects. This includes also participation in technical discussions with customers regarding EE system requirements, understanding them, challenging them and proposing alternatives to customers.  


• Define and propose Electric System architecture alternatives based on stakeholders’ requirements ( End customer and internal customers ( Product level, manufacturing), Safety, and security requirements)


• Chose the “best” architecture through tradeoff studies between meeting stakeholders’ requirements, cost constraints, timing constraints, risk mitigation, reusability…and document the “best” choice justifications.


• The “best” architecture being defined, cascade system requirements towards system elements through design decisions taken during architecture definition including dynamic behaviour and interfaces definition (with close collaboration with domains experts ( Controls, HW, SW, E Machine. . . )


• Make sure all aspects impacting architecture are taken into account during and after architecture definition (impact of Functional safety, all output from risk analysis are integrated, and the impact of any change request of the defined architecture shall be clearly identified and assessed.  


• Helicopter view: Oversee and supervise the work of the development team by Working in close collaboration with element owners (designers of HW and SW) to make sure the design meets architecture/system requirements. Develop and/or support EE system engineering processes development ( Aspice , ISO 26262, FME As, Functional Analysis. . . ) 

Qualifications: 


• M. Sc or Ph. D in Electrical/ Electronics/ Power Electronics Engineering 


• 5 to 10 years experience in electrical systems architectural design and embedded systems development : technical leadership in driving complex system architecture (HW, Embedded Software and Mechanics)


• Expert in EE systems architecture Design


• Helicopter view and cross-functional mindset ( Experience or references with software and hardware engineering activities. ) 


• Experience with system Engineering methods ( External and internal Functional analysis , Risk analysis via FMEA/FTA, Safety analysis. . .
