Powernet Component & Network Engineer

Tasks

1. Powernet responsibility

• Take technical responsibility for vehicle low-voltage powernet functions across requirement clarification, system integration, validation, and issue handling.

• Analyze and derive system requirements for 12V powernet functions and support architecture-aware clarification of system behavior.

• Plan, support, and evaluate powernet testing at vehicle, bench, and system level.

• Support release preparation and technical documentation according to project milestones.

2. MGS/MGC responsibility

• Act as module-group speaker/coordinator for the relevant powernet scope and coordinate topics across project management, line functions, integration teams, and suppliers.

• Clarify and steer cost, maturity, timing, and technical-concept topics for the module-group scope.

• Prepare decision-ready proposals, tradeoff analyses, and escalation inputs for target deviations and concept alternatives.

3. Component localization responsibility

• Support localization of 12V powernet-related components for local vehicle projects.

• Coordinate technical topics with suppliers, local teams, and global counterparts regarding component behavior, maturity, feasibility, and implementation constraints.

• Clarify component-level interfaces and support evaluation of impacts on system behavior, validation, and release readiness.

4. Network development and troubleshooting responsibility

• Take technical responsibility for China-relevant network topics that can be implemented in GRC/RDVM or local CN development, including adaptation, integration, validation, and issue handling.

• Clarify and further develop network architecture, communication requirements, signal paths, wake-up and sleep behavior, and network-management concepts in alignment with affected systems and stakeholders.

• Coordinate implementation and validation of network-related hardware and software topics at ECU, bench, and vehicle level together with local teams, Germany counterparts, and suppliers, including AUTOSAR-related communication interfaces where applicable.

• Analyze communication-, signal-, and topology-related issues for Ethernet, CAN FD, LIN, and FlexRay networks and support derivation of corrective actions and release recommendations.

• Support local documentation, release preparation, and first-level technical clarification for network-related changes and incidents.

5. Cross-functional collaboration

• Provide technical support for stakeholders such as testing, production, quality, aftersales, and vehicle integration.

• Ensure regular information exchange and know-how transfer with counterparts in Germany and support local implementation where required.

• Coordinate cross-functional issue resolution and support interface clarification between powernet functions, ECUs, components, and related systems.

Qualifications
