Job Description

Powerpack Function Layer Engineer - Gaydon

The Opportunity

Help shape the next generation of electrified vehicles by developing and owning the systems engineering artefacts for our High Voltage (HV) Power Supply & Charging domains. You'll turn complex behaviour into clear models, requirements and test plans, link functional analyses to component-level risk controls, and drive timely resolution of cross-domain issues across Battery Charging, HV Integration and EDU.

What you'll do

Own system artefacts for HV Power Supply & Charging: MBSE models, use-case analysis, Logical Architecture Description (LAD), Functional Failure Analysis (FFA), requirements (FSRD/FSRS) and DVP. Maintain off-cycle and update on-cycle in line with programme needs. Define and govern requirements: capture, cascade and trace requirements from stakeholdernneeds through to verification, ensuring consistency across models, standards and DVP. Link function to component risk: connect FFA outputs to commodity FMEAs and feed target-setting for relevant use cases. Drive interface integrity: chair technical reviews and resolve cross-functional issues spanning Battery, Charging, HV Integration, EDU and Powerpack teams. Influence architecture: provide data-driven inputs to electrical architecture choices to protect attribute delivery (range, charge time, performance). Champion methods & tools: ensure functions adhere to agreed engineering methods, computer tools and aids throughout delivery.

How your impact will be measured (KPIs)

System artefacts delivered off-cycle and updated on-cycle for HV Power Supply & Charging. New HV functions delivered via the SoC process to plan. Robust, on-cycle requirements and targets provided to programmes. System compatibility issues identified early, reported clearly and closed efficiently. Evidence of informed influence on electrical architecture decisions. Adherence to specified engineering methods and toolchains.
