The Vehicle Efficiency Team is responsible for vehicle efficiency across all programs with our client. EEM is part of the team and are responsible for electrical efficiency for all our client’s powertrain variants.

We're seeking a passionate and naturally influential Lead Requirements Engineer to lead the creation, development and maintenance of electrical efficiency requirements.

• Test Case Authoring and Ownership:
  Creation and development of test cases to validate authored requirements.
• Maintain and update these test cases through product lifecycle, ensuring clear communication into validation & testing disciplines.
• Cross‑Functional Communication:
  Act as the primary liaison in EEM. Represent the team across all engineering functions. Ensure consistent understanding and implementation of requirements across all stakeholders.
• Change Management:
  Track changes and assess their impact on existing and future vehicle programmes. Lead updates to requirements and communicate changes effectively.

• Proven track record in writing and managing technical requirements.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience with Requirements Management Tools (e.g. Dassault TRM, IBM DOORS).
• Understanding of Systems Engineering Principles and V‑model development processes.
