** About the Role**:

The SDV Advanced Engineer – Powertrain Innovation Champion leads the transformation of electrified powertrain systems toward Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures, driving innovation and strategic alignment within the global Power Division. This role redefines how powertrain software is designed, deployed, and evolved—bridging embedded engineering excellence with visionary SDV strategy. You will work on inverters, DC/DC converters, e-axles, energy-management systems and thermal management systems, shaping them into modular, configurable, software-defined platforms that deliver digital value.

As part of a global SDV strategy network, you will collaborate across divisions, influence the Power Division’s SDV roadmap, and present new ideas to leadership. The role emphasizes innovation, global alignment, and SDV vision leadership rather than customer integration or program delivery.
** Responsibilities Also Include:  SDV Strategy &

Innovation:
*** Develop and execute Power Division’s SDV roadmap, aligned with global R&D strategy.
* Propose innovative architectures and concepts—e.g., virtualized energy control, feature-on-demand, power orchestration.
* Present prototypes and new technologies to Division and Global SDV leadership.
* Evaluate emerging SDV technologies (Adaptive AUTOSAR, POSIX,..) for powertrain applications.
** Advanced Powertrain Software Development
*** Design and implement embedded software for electrified systems using an SDV-ready approach.
* Support modularization of legacy software and develop reusable service APIs.
* Prototype energy-management and diagnostics algorithms via model-based design and
• simulation.
* Contribute to internal libraries, CI/CD integration, and software reusability initiatives.
** Global Collaboration & Leadership
*** Collaborate with global Power and SDV teams to align architecture and best practices.
* Represent the North America region in global workshops, innovation clusters, and SDV forums.
* Share proofs of concept and lessons learned to scale innovation globally.
** Innovation & External Representation
*** Represent the Power Division at tech events, conferences, and innovation summits.
* Lead or contribute to hackathons, demo sessions, and internal innovation days.
* Scout and assess new technologies and research trends accelerating SDV adoption.
** What You Should Have:
*** Bachelor’s in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering or related field is required. Master’s is preferred.
* Power Electronics. 3–5 years of experience in automotive software development, preferably in Powertrain or
* Proficiency in C/C++, model-based design (MATLAB/Simulink), and software validation.
* Knowledge of AUTOSAR Classic / Adaptive, QNX, Linux, or RTOS.
* Understanding of Ethernet, SOME/IP communication stacks.
* Familiarity with SDV alliances and tools (e.g., Eclipse SDV, COVESA). Familiarity with service-oriented communication, OTA frameworks, and virtualization.
* Familiarity with Automotive Cybersecurity.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
* Excellent communication and presentation abilities.
* Proactive in exploring emerging technologies and digital transformation.
* Collaborative, globally minded team player.
* Familiarity with North American OEM requirements and compliance standards.
* Prior participation in industry conferences, hackathons, or technical publications.
