Strong Preference Engineer with strong telematics experience either in code development, validation or Core Tech or similar areas who is ready to expand their knowledge and drill down into Telematics Requirements and become an expert at DOORs and RTC requirements tools in a short timeframe.
Role Summary
The Telematics Systems and Vehicle Hardware Requirements Contract Engineer is responsible for eliciting requirements for new or modified features from Subject Matter Experts, then developing them into a format and level of detail suitable for implementation. S/he will also be a Subject Matter Expert him/herself in one or more areas related to Telematics Systems, Vehicle Interface and Hardware Design or similar domains. The Telematics Systems and Vehicle Hardware Requirements Engineer then harmoniously integrates the new requirements into new or existing product definitions. The requirements may be expressed as textual "shall" statements, figures (including flow charts), tables, or a combination thereof. Subjects of the requirements are usually at the leading edge of technology and range from cellular wireless technologies, to location technologies, to the Human-Machine Interface and speech recognition.
The Telematics Systems and Vehicle Hardware Requirements Engineer uses various software applications including common word processing, spreadsheet, and drawing applications, as well as specialized requirements management, change management, and publishing tools.
The Telematics Systems and Vehicle Hardware Requirements Engineer works with the program leads to arrive at a mutually agreeable release date for change proposals and specifications that meet timing, quality and accuracy.
The Telematics Systems Requirements Engineer is responsible and accountable for the quality and cohesion of the requirements and for the timely delivery of specification documents.
S/he is an experienced evidence based problem solver who works with cross-functional team members to arrive at and document robust Telematics requirements in specifications.
Key Responsibilities
* Reviewing and contributing to the definition of functional requirements and translating these into clearly articulated technical requirements that will be unambiguous for the supplier to implement
* Leveraging one's own expertise as well as that of peers in one or more of the following domains (hardware design, vehicle interface, Telematics functions) to arrive at and document well-articulated and unambiguous Telematics module requirements.
* Working with specific hardware programs to identify unique characteristics of the program, identify and schedule specification deliverables, and deliver specification documents to schedule
* Working closely with other requirements engineers/peers to ensure requirements are comprehended in all programs and variants and all impacts proliferated accurately and consistently
* Creating specification deliveries from the requirements management database
Required Skills and Experience
* Understands and can apply requirements engineering and methodologies in a complex multi-project environment.
* Solid, experienced-based knowledge and ability to apply the principles of good requirements
* Knowledge, experience and subject matter expertise with end to end Telematics systems requirements to be applied to the definition of clearly enunciated Telematics module requirements that will be interpreted unambiguously by the module supplier for development purposes
* Subject matter expertise in Telematics Engineering, hardware design, vehicle integration, electrical architecture or other related domains
* Evidence based problem solving and decision making skills
* Ability to work constructively as an individual or in groups with minimal supervision
* Proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Visio including ability to create and modify documents, as well as use macros
* Experience using a requirements management tool such as IBM DOORS
* Minimum 5 years' experience working with technical requirements either writing them, implementing to them, or validating to them
* Very strong verbal and written communication skills.
* Ability to work collaboratively with individuals within both the technical community and business/marketing community.
Education and Training
* Bachelor degree in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Science Engineering, Physics or related, relevant field
Preferred Skills and Experience
* Master's degree in a relevant field
* Intimate knowledge of telematics requirements or validation or core technologies
* Code development or hardware design experience in Telematics or Wireless domains
* Certification or additional training in Requirements Management principles and application
