ELECTRONIC NETWORK ENGINEERING SPECIALIST (f/m/d) (Ulm)

The candidate will be part of Network team, belonging to the ZEV Electric & Electronics department. The Network Specialist leads the definition of communication matrix within the on-board network, applying Network Engineering, Functional Safety and Cybersecurity industry best practices. The candidate will operate in the following responsibility areas: Management of change request and project network specification release, Internal communication protocol standard definition and update based on international standards, Network compliancy test, Management of the network tool chain. He/she will work to collect the needs from each team in the ZEV Electric & Electronics organization and define and integrate all the communication requirements inside the vehicle communication matrix. The candidate will define all the communication messages field based on the electronic architecture configuration, vehicle functions needs and communications BUS optimization. The activities include creative problem solving, analyzing and reverse engineering the baselined vehicle network architecture to identify regulatory gaps and improvements, and validation support to investigate on possible network problems

You will:

• Define and release network specifications in line with internal development process.

• Create and maintain network communication matrix that meet the request from internal and external stakeholders (Regulations, Platform,

Brand etc.).

• drives and manage all the topics related to the communication protocol and related specification, which are the base documentation for any

ECU development or modification.

• work to reach proactively achieve the target, respecting international standard requirements, project time and budget.

• incorporate the engineering safety, security and quality standards, methodologies, and global product development processes into all aspects

of project development.

• work cohesively, collaborating with the teams to maximize quality, enhance performance and delivery on schedule

Requirements:
• MSc/BEng Degree or equivalent in Engineering with emphasis in Information Technology disciplines (Telecommunication Engineering preferred).
