Lead System & Electronics Engineer - Wearable Airbag ECU

Om jobbet

MISSION

Own the system and electronics engineering of a wearable airbag vest ECU, from architecture definition through industrialization and manufacturing release.

The role combines system engineering ownership and electronics design leadership for an existing product platform that will evolve across multiple generations, with increased functionality, connectivity, and performance.

The objective is to deliver safe, robust, manufacturable, and evolvable ECU solutions that meet functional, safety, cost, quality, and planning requirements for a critical safety application.

The role acts as the technical reference, working closely with the Project Manager, hardware and software teams, industrialization, suppliers, and validation teams. In addition, the System lead will be the main technical contact for the Product teams and will work on the integration with them. The team is located in France & Sweden mainly. Travel to France, China, US & other countries is expected regularly (Several times a year)

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

System & Product Architecture

Define, maintain, and evolve the ECU system architecture across generations (sensing, processing, power, safety interfaces, connectivity, updates)

Perform functional analysis including safety and cybersecurity

Define system modularity, interfaces, constraints, and services,

Ensure architectural consistency across hardware, embedded software, and connectivity (mobile gateway & cloud interfaces)

Own the technical roadmap for future product generations

Electronics Design Leadership

Lead and approve key electronics design choices (MCU/SoC, sensors, power architecture, connectivity modules, safety‑critical circuits)

Identify technical risks and design hard points and define mitigation actions

Validate design results with hardware and software leads

Ensure compliance with cost, power consumption, robustness, and environmental constraints specific to wearable products

Development Process, Safety & Compliance

Apply suitable systems engineering methods, e.g., following the V‑cycle

Ensure alignment with functional safety and quality processes

Lead or contribute to risk and safety analyses (DFMEA, PFMEA, hazard analysis)

Ensure full traceability from requirements to verification and validation

Requirements & Documentation

Define and approve system requirements, product specifications, and interface specifications

Ensure consistency of system documentation (item definition, architecture, interfaces)

Manage change impact analysis across variants and generations

Maintain the design definition file for prototype and series production

Connectivity, FOTA & Lifecycle (ECU Scope)

Define ECU‑side architecture for secure connectivity and cloud interaction

Own the FOTA strategy (architecture, safety, rollback, validation)

Ensure long‑term maintainability and field robustness (Mobile app and cloud development are out of scope; ECU interfaces are in scope.)

Prototyping & Industrialization

Define prototype needs and lead technical validation

Support or lead Design for Manufacturing and Test (DFM/DFT)

Define system‑level test and production test strategies

Ensure readiness for industrialization and manufacturing release

Technical Leadership

Coordinate the system and electronics design team

Organize technical and architecture reviews

Interface with project management, development teams, manufacturing, and suppliers

Provide technical support and training when required
