System Architect

Objectives:

Development of the system architecture and its decomposition into subsystems (platform, modules, and components) that can be allocated to discipline architects. A system architect must be trained in architecture, as well as requirements for engineering and business management skills.

Activities to be performed as a system architect:

• Analyze system requirements and special characteristics
• Ensure high degree of reusability
• Identify synergies across projects
• Define system architecture, together with discipline architects (or experts)
• Decompose system architecture to sub-systems
• Decompose requirements to the subsystem level.
• Define system internal interworking requirements on the subsystem level.
• Participate actively in knowledge transfer

Required skills:

• Knowledge on DFMEA, ISO26262 certification, and Security & Privacy
• Knowledge on SW, EE and ME design
• Knowledge on communication protocols like I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, SDIO, LVDS
• Knowledge on FOTA concept implementation
• Knowledge on microcontroller interfaces and architecture.
• Technical overview and experience on system design and integration
• Analysis and coordination competences (Analytic thinking)
• Knowledge of project management
• Knowledge on product life cycle
• Presentation and moderation techniques
• Work experience on customer interaction and Issue management

Good to have:

• Knowledge on Electric vehicle architecture
• Knowledge on tools like Rhapsody, Doors, Visio, Vector Canoe
• Knowledge on module-based design concept
