Electrical Engineer 3

Our client, a EV Manufacturer company, is looking for a Electrical Engineer 3 for their Remote location.

Responsibilities:

• As a Senior Design Release Engineer, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of Emergency Call (eCall) and telematics-based safety systems, with a strong emphasis on system architecture, connectivity, integration, and regulatory compliance.
• You will be the Feature Owner for Emergency Call Systems (eCall/NG-eCall), Minimum Set of Data (MSD), and Crash-triggered communication workflows, responsible for defining, developing, and validating these features within a complex vehicle ecosystem.
• This role also includes support and sustaining responsibility for legacy Restraint Control Module (RCM) systems, ensuring continued robustness, regulatory compliance, and integration with next-generation eCall solutions.
• This position requires cross-functional collaboration across hardware, software, connectivity, and compliance domains.
• System Design & Feature Ownership (eCall-Centric)
• Own Emergency Call (eCall) systems, including:
• Automatic Crash Notification (ACN)
• Manual eCall trigger (SOS)
• Minimum Set of Data (MSD) generation and transmission
• Define and document feature scope, performance requirements, and regulatory constraints (e.g., EN 15722, ECE R144, NG-eCall standards).
• Architect and allocate system functionality across telematics ECUs, RCM, GNSS, and communication modules.
• Lead development of system-level interfaces, including:
• CAN/Ethernet communication between RCM and telematics units
• Cellular modem interfaces and PSAP communication protocols
• Define end-to-end crash-to-call workflows, including trigger conditions, data packaging, and call establishment timing.
• Ensure traceability from requirements through validation using MBSE and requirements management tools.

Legacy RCM Support & Integration:

• Provide sustaining engineering support for Restraint Control Module (RCM) systems and associated crash detection logic.
• Support bug triage, field issue resolution, and continuous improvement for legacy safety systems.
• Ensure compatibility between existing crash event signals and new eCall/telematics architectures.
• Collaborate with passive safety teams during crash testing and correlation activities.

Safety, Compliance & Validation:

• Define and execute validation plans for eCall systems, including:
• End-to-end call success rate
• MSD accuracy and encoding validation
• Network performance under varying conditions

Ensure compliance with:

• Regulatory standards (ECE R144, EN 15722, EN 16072, NG-eCall)
• Regional homologation requirements (EU, UK, other markets)
• Functional safety standards (ISO 26262) where applicable
• Support PSAP simulator testing, certification activities, and homologation submissions.
• Define fault detection, fallback modes, and diagnostics strategies (e.g., no network, GNSS failure, partial MSD).
• Ensure readiness for OTA updates, cybersecurity requirements, and remote diagnostics.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Manage Tier 1 suppliers delivering telematics ECUs, connectivity modules, and RCM components.
• Act as the primary technical interface for eCall-related supplier deliverables and issue resolution.

Coordinate with:

• Connectivity and telematics teams (modem, network provisioning)
• Cybersecurity teams (secure communication, authentication)
• Diagnostics teams (DTCs, serviceability)
• UX/HMI teams (SOS button behavior, user alerts, call status feedback)
• Work with homologation and regulatory teams to ensure market readiness.
• Partner with Passive Safety and Crash teams to validate trigger conditions and system performance in real crash events.

Program Execution:

• Drive feature development milestones aligned with vehicle program timing.
• Support sourcing decisions by evaluating supplier capabilities in telematics and safety systems.
• Track and report:
• Feature maturity
• Integration risks
• Validation progress
• Lead issue resolution for field and test failures, including root cause and corrective actions.
• Champion robust system engineering practices and continuous improvement across lifecycle delivery.

Requirements:

• Proven track record in vehicle electrical systems and system integration, preferably in safety or telematics domains.
• Experience with eCall, telematics systems, or crash notification architectures.
• Strong understanding of vehicle network architectures (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements for emergency call systems.
• Experience with on-board diagnostics, fault management, and system validation.
• Solid engineering fundamentals and structured problem-solving approach.
• Ability to communicate complex system behavior across engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong supplier management and cross-functional leadership skills.
• High attention to detail and commitment to delivering safety-critical systems.
• Advantageous

Experience with:

• EN 15722 (MSD), EN 16072, ECE R144, NG-eCall architectures
• PSAP simulator testing and homologation processes
• Background in Restraint Control Modules or passive safety systems
• Knowledge of Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and ASPICE
• Familiarity with cybersecurity requirements for connected vehicles
• Experience with requirements tools (Jama, DOORS, Polarion)
• Experience with embedded software and telematics hardware integration
• Exposure to global regulatory environments (EU, China, North America)
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• Advanced degree preferred
