Scope of Role
The successful applicant will join the E/E Architecture team to support the definition, development and implementation of vehicle electrical and electronic architectures across multiple customer programmes. The role requires a technically capable engineer who can translate vehicle and feature requirements into robust functional, logical and physical architecture solutions.
The successful candidate will work closely with customer engineering teams, system architects, network, diagnostics, software, cybersecurity, functional safety and integration teams. The role requires strong systems thinking, structured problem solving and the ability to communicate architecture decisions clearly from concept through validation and release.
Area of Responsibility
- Develop and maintain vehicle E/E architecture concepts, models and technical descriptions across multiple vehicle domains.
- Translate vehicle, feature and stakeholder requirements into functional, logical and physical architecture definitions.
- Define system boundaries, allocations, interfaces, communication paths and interactions between hardware and software elements.
- Perform architecture impact assessments for new features, components, variants and engineering changes.
- Maintain architecture requirements, assumptions, decisions, traceability and supporting engineering artefacts.
- Lead or support architecture reviews, design assessments, technical workshops and customer governance forums.
- Coordinate architecture interfaces with network, diagnostics, cybersecurity, functional safety, software and integration teams.
- Support concept selection, technical trade-off studies, reuse assessments and risk mitigation activities.
- Ensure architecture solutions consider integration, validation, serviceability, scalability and production constraints.
- Support issue investigation and root cause analysis for cross-domain architecture and integration concerns.
- Contribute to architecture methods, standards, templates and continuous improvement activities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
