Inverter System Engineer - Requirements

The Role:

System Engineer

Area of Responsibility

System Architecture

• Define

  system architecture

  for inverter platforms, including control strategies, hardware/software boundaries, and interface definitions.
• Develop

  block diagrams, functional models

  , and performance specifications aligned with vehicle and powertrain requirements.
• Support architecture refinement across

  SiC-based

  ,

  multi-phase

  , and

  high-efficiency inverter topologies

  .

Requirements Engineering

• Capture, structure, and manage

  system-level requirements

  using tools like

  DOORS

  ,

  Polarion

  , or equivalent.
• Ensure traceability of inverter requirements through design, implementation, and validation phases.
• Lead stakeholder workshops for requirement elicitation and alignment across cross-functional domains.
• Collaborate with safety, software, hardware, and validation teams to define interface and compliance boundaries.

Technical Integration

• Interface with BMS, motor control units, DC/DC converters, and vehicle-level systems to ensure robust integration.
• Contribute to

  design reviews

  ,

  FMEA analyses

  , and

  system safety planning

  .
• Support the development of

  DVP&R plans

  , interface documents, and system documentation deliverables.

Knowledge / Experience

• Experience in

  power electronics system design

  , ideally within automotive inverter applications.
• Strong foundation in

  system architecture

  , embedded powertrain systems, and high-voltage component integration.
• Expertise in

  requirements engineering

  , including requirements decomposition, traceability, and compliance.
• Familiarity with
