Electronics System Architect

Role purpose: Define and lead the evolution of the end-to-end architecture for the Telematic Control Unit (TCU), ensuring technical consistency between functional requirements, hardware/software constraints, and safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (ISO 21434) goals. This role has a direct impact on the technical feasibility and efficiency of the electronics platform through concrete, documented, and traceable system design. Key accountabilities and decision ownership: Architectural Definition: Leads the technical design of MCU/MPU, interfaces, communication flows, and system functional breakdown. Requirements Allocation: Maps system requirements to hardware components, software modules, networks, and interfaces. External Interface Management: Acts as the main technical contact for external stakeholders (OEMs, Tier-1s, Yocto vendors). Design Documentation: Produces detailed system documents, architectural diagrams, and functional allocation. Safety & Cybersecurity Integration: Collaborates with safety/cyber teams to integrate ASIL, TARA, secure partitioning. Technology Support: Provides input on Make/Buy decisions and integration of RTOS, Yocto, AUTOSAR, V2X, BLE. Constraint Management: Resolves technical challenges related to CPU, memory, power, and performance constraints. Core competencies, knowledge and experience: Systemic approach to ECU/TCU architecture. Hands-on experience with automotive SoCs (e.g., NXP i.MX8). Proficiency in RTOS, AUTOSAR, Yocto Linux. Professional use of UML/SysML, Enterprise Architect. Knowledge of V2X, CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet communications. Experience in safety-critical (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (ISO 21434) systems.
