Energy Management Feature Owner

We are an Australian technology company creating the future of mobility with software-defined driverless transport. To build this new future and respond to growing demand, we are on the hunt to employ fresh thinking, technical minds to join our dynamic team, where we will continue to innovate and thrive together.

Applied EV develops safety-rated, autonomous-ready, digital control systems (Digital Backbone) and modular vehicle platforms (Blanc Robot), for global commercial applications. We are developing the next generation of mobility, where vehicles run entirely on software and are programmable, improving efficiency & sustainability.

Applied EV creates an inclusive environment that empowers employees and embraces diversity. We welcome and encourage everyone who has a passion and curiosity for technology, automotive and innovation to explore our open positions and join our growing team.

As an Energy Management Feature Owner you will be instrumental in the definition of the electric vehicle features related to energy storage, management, and distribution. You will create the technical specifications and high-level design for the feature. You will support the cascading of requirements into the domain engineering teams and manage the implementation to ensure that the feature has the correct function and performance. Working closely with the Integration & Test teams you will ensure the defined requirements have supporting test cases which are traceable.

Requirements

The Energy Management Feature Owner plays a critical part in translating technical specifications into potential architectural solutions, assessing the technical choices to ensure the best trade-off between requirement, schedule, risk, and cost are achieved.

The Energy Management Feature Owner has responsibility for the end-to-end delivery of the feature, arbitrating issues between domain teams.

The Energy Management Feature Owner understands and practices a Systems Engineering approach and has an ability to decompose complexity using different levels of abstraction and expression.

The Energy Management Feature Owner is required to be an articulate technical communicator with experience interfacing between domain engineering teams.

Key Accountabilities / Responsibilities:

• The Feature Owner will capture and elaborate Functional and Performance specifications for features of a vehicle to be cascaded down to Component specifications for engineering domain teams to conduct product development.
• The Feature Owner will contribute to the Vehicle Architecture Design document and models to communicate the high-level design and justifications to the domain engineering teams. The Feature Owner will document design elaboration including static and behavioural aspects.
• The Feature Owner will work closely with the Verification and Testing team to ensure functional and performance specifications are defined in such a way that they are testable.
• The Feature Owner will develop Interface Control Documents to facilitate the correct integration of independently developed components into the overall system.
• The Feature Owner will collaborate with the Software domain to ensure that the software implementation is consistent with the overall feature specification and design. The Feature Owner will review the detailed derived specifications and designs providing approval to proceed to implementation.
• The Feature Owner will collaborate with the Electrical & Electronics domain to ensure that the hardware implementation is consistent with the overall feature specification and design. The Feature Owner will review the detailed derived specifications and designs providing approval to proceed to implementation.
• The Feature Owner will collaborate with the Mechanical domain to ensure that the mechanical implementation is consistent with the overall feature specification and design. The Feature Owner will review the detailed derived specifications and designs providing approval to proceed to implementation.
• The Feature Owner will collaborate with the Modelling and Simulation Engineer to develop confidence in proposed solutions for the domain engineering teams to execute.
• The Feature Owner will support the Functional Safety team to achieve the defined safety goals of the products under development.
• The Feature Owner will support the Vehicle Solution Architect to ensure that the feature is compatible with overall vehicle architectures.
• The Feature Owner will deliver work products in line with the program schedule, highlighting deficiencies and associated risk to program execution. Ensure that identified risks are communicated in an appropriate forum and that a champion is assigned to establish countermeasures.
• The Feature Owner will utilise the relevant toolchains to develop, release and control feature requirements and architecture artifacts.
• The Feature Owner will lead the resolution of feature issues raised by domain engineering teams. Ensure issues are appropriately tracked in the relevant toolchain, and where required (based on program status) create an Engineering Change Request for architecture evolutions.

Key Competencies:

• An Engineering degree in Mechanical, Electronics, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• Demonstrated experience in an engineering role involving software, electrical and/or mechanical engineering domains.
• Capable of supporting the development, assessment, and work product generation for complex system architectures.
• Proficient in use case analysis, requirements capture, requirements development, refinement, and release for execution.
• Sound understanding of the v-model development lifecycle through requirements, design, implementation, testing and support.
• Capable of working collaboratively with engineering teams to ensure all interdependencies at a system level are clearly identified and understood to drive a high level of integration in our products.

Benefits

• The opportunity to have ownership over your responsibilities.
• Satisfaction in being at the forefront of creating the future of a new and growing class of autonomous electric vehicles.
• Work alongside a friendly and passionate team on cutting edge technology.
• Enjoy complimentary kitchen facilities, including an on-site barista, with snacks, drinks, lunch, fresh fruit and tea/coffee.
