What to Expect

Lead the specification, development, integration and delivery of high-voltage systems, power electronics and HV control systems from concept through series production. The role is accountable for people leadership, technical governance and programme delivery across hardware, software and controls, ensuring cost, timing, quality, performance, functionality and functional-safety objectives are achieved.

What You'll Do

• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary team responsible for HV system architecture, integration, and control systems engineering.
• Set clear technical direction, priorities and delivery plans across component, system, software and functional requirements.
• Provide governance for HV controls strategy, software planning, calibration, releases and validation.
• Ensure effective integration across the HV Supervisory Unit DC/DC converters, on-board chargers, inverters or MCUs, battery management systems and any other electronic system interaction with the HV components.
• Represent HV Systems to resolve cross-functional dependencies and technical risks with Software, Functional Safety and Vehicle teams.
• Own supplier technical governance, including scope, deliverables, timing, quality, validation and issue resolution for software and control systems.
• Ensure robust engineering release, change-control, deviation and concern-management processes are applied.
• Build team capability through coaching, objective setting, workload management and technical review.
• Deliver HV software across vehicle programmes to agreed specification, cost, timing and quality targets throughout all development phases.
• Approve system architecture, controls concepts, implementation specifications and interfaces aligned with vehicle feature requirements and technical-risk mitigation.
• Ensure development and validation strategies cover Model-in-the-Loop, Hardware-in-the-Loop, component bench, rig and vehicle testing as appropriate.
• Ensure ISO 26262 functional-safety requirements are planned and delivered in collaboration with Functional Safety teams.
• Oversee software supplier planning, integration, validation, issue resolution and release readiness.
• Ensure teams apply effective diagnostics, calibration, data logging, analysis and root-cause methods to resolve HV controls issues.
• Own technical risk, quality status, resource demand and escalation for the function, providing clear updates at internal and external programme reviews.
• Ensure specifications, DVPs, FMEAs and validation evidence are complete, controlled and aligned with MDP and ETRS requirements.
• Work with Supply Chain Management and programme teams to secure software for prototype, pilot, pre-production and production builds.
• Promote consistent systems-engineering practice and continuous improvement across the team.
