      <Title>Power Controls Technical Expert</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>We&#39;re seeking a Power Controls Technical Expert to join our Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team. As a key member of our team, you will lead the definition, development, validation, and sign-off of vehicle-level power control strategies for PowerNet 1+, future architectures, and next-generation platforms. Your expertise will drive robust system behavior, influence architecture decisions, resolve complex quality issues, and mentor engineering talent across the organization.</p>
<p>Responsibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lead global development, strategy definition, and technical sign-off for PowerNet control strategies (PowerNet 1.0, PowerNet 1+ and beyond) across ICE, FHEV, PHEV, and EV vehicle variants, including L3 production support.</li>
<li>Own and influence vehicle-level power control behavior, including load management, multiple power sources, voltage regulation, and energy prioritization strategies.</li>
<li>Provide technical leadership and guidance on power supply system architecture from a controls, calibration, and software behavior perspective.</li>
<li>Define and review control logic designs and calibrations, proactively identifying potential failure modes, bugs, and improvement opportunities early in development.</li>
</ul>
<p>System Development &amp; Validation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Serve as the technical authority for Power Control system requirements, test methods, and validation strategy.</li>
<li>Author and approve system requirements and Design Verification Methods (DVMs) for in-vehicle and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation.</li>
<li>Lead formal technical sign-off of critical system parameters, including voltage setpoints, voltage drop limits, and power quality requirements.</li>
<li>Develop and maintain robust diagnostic strategies addressing system interactions, component failures, wiring faults, and abnormal operating conditions.</li>
</ul>
<p>Quality, Reliability &amp; Problem Resolution:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lead investigation, root cause analysis, and resolution of complex system-level quality issues, field concerns, and recalls related to power supply and control systems.</li>
<li>Ensure voltage quality and power availability to safety-critical systems (e.g., EPAS, EBB) under all operating conditions.</li>
<li>Develop and execute proactive robustness actions to prevent future quality and warranty issues.</li>
</ul>
<p>Documentation, Mentorship &amp; Knowledge Sharing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and training to junior and mid-level engineers.</li>
<li>Create, update, and continuously improve engineering manuals, standards, and best-practice documentation related to Power Supply Calibrations and control strategies.</li>
</ul>
<p>Qualifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.</li>
<li>10+ years of progressive experience in automotive electrical power systems, power electronics, and control system development.</li>
<li>Master’s degree in a relevant discipline, demonstrating advanced technical depth in power systems and controls.</li>
<li>Proven expertise in vehicle electrical architectures, including voltage regulation, load management, and power distribution.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience developing power control strategies across ICE, FHEV, PHEV, and EV platforms.</li>
<li>Deep experience in control logic design, development, and calibration for automotive power supply systems.</li>
<li>Strong background in system requirements definition, DVM authoring, and validation, including HIL and in-vehicle testing.</li>
<li>Extensive experience leading root cause analysis, field issues resolution, and warranty investigations; familiarity with 8D methodologies.</li>
<li>Practical working knowledge of Functional Safety (ISO 26262) principles.</li>
<li>Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership and mentorship, influencing teams without direct authority.</li>
