- Continuous professional development and technical training.

Key Responsibilities

- Define and maintain system architectures for Controlled Brakes products, including ESC, One Box, and Two Box brake-by-wire systems, EMB.




- Translate customer expectations, vehicle-level requirements, regulatory constraints, and product strategies into robust and scalable system architectures.
- Define system boundaries, interfaces, functional allocation, and responsibilities across electronic control units, hydraulic components, sensors, actuators, and software functions.
- Develop and maintain system architecture specifications, functional block diagrams, interface definitions, and architecture documentation.
- Define the allocation of braking functions between actuation and modulation units in Two Box architectures, including system coordination and degradation management.
- Establish architecture principles, design guidelines, and technical standards to promote product reuse, modularity, scalability, and cost competitiveness.
- Evaluate alternative architectures and technical concepts, balancing performance, safety, complexity, cost, and development effort.
- Drive architecture reviews and technical decisions, ensuring consistency across projects, products, and development regions.

System Requirements & Functional Design

- Define and decompose system-level requirements into subsystem and component requirements, ensuring completeness, consistency, and traceability.
- Lead functional analysis and allocation across system, hardware, software, hydraulic,



and mechanical domains.
- Define system operating modes, control strategies, interfaces, dependencies, and operating constraints.
- Define system-level fault handling, degradation strategies, fallback functions, and availability requirements.
- Ensure consistency between system requirements, architecture, functional design, and verification and validation activities.
- Manage technical interfaces with vehicle systems, including vehicle dynamics control, powertrain, chassis control, ADAS, and autonomous driving functions.
- Support customer technical discussions and translate vehicle integration needs into appropriate system-level solutions.

Performance, Safety & Reliability

- Define and optimize system performance targets for braking capability, pressure generation, response time, controllability, pedal feel, and vehicle stability.
- Evaluate system performance under nominal, boundary, and degraded operating conditions.
- Define system-level safety concepts and architecture constraints in collaboration with Functional Safety Engineers, in accordance with ISO 26262.
- Ensure that safety requirements, fault detection, fault containment, and degraded operating strategies are reflected in the system architecture.
- Collaborate with Functional Safety, Cybersecurity, Reliability, and Quality teams to ensure compliance with applicable standards and product requirements.
- Support system-level risk analyses, including FMEA and fault-tree analysis (FTA), and drive the resolution of critical technical risks.
- Ensure that architecture decisions address robustness, diagnostic capability, reliabil
