About this role
Mercedes-Benz Group China Ltd.
Objective of job The function architecture (thermal management and comfort) for defining, designing, and evolving the thermal management and comfort domain system design for next-generation electrical/electronic (E/E) systems. This role shall design the EE control system of thermal management and comfort domain in a way that delivers best user experience, safety and security while balancing the system complexity and cost. You will play a key role in enabling software-defined vehicle capabilities by designing the system in a software/hardware decoupled, highly abstract way
Key Responsibilities
- Be the leading role in the organization to identify the development trend of thermal management and comfort domain system: new tech, new features, etc.
- Be responsible in designing the EE control system for thermal management function for powertrain, HV battery, air conditioning, HVAC, etc.,
- Work with vehicle engineering team, powertrain team and HV system team and develop their requirements into IO requirements, signal and service requirement, safety and security requirement, diagnostic requirement, function specification, performance requirement.
- Lead cross-domain architecture reviews and decision-making
- Collaborate with system architects, software teams, and ECU suppliers to ensure seamless integration.
- Be the 1st responsibility to in performing trouble shooting in the thermal management and comfort domain system to ensure the timely and quality delivery.
- Contribute to long-term E/E architecture roadmap
