Senior systems engineer (San Pedro Garza García) (Centro)

What you’ll do (impact areas)

• lead at the system level, take the system lead role on customer and internal programs, provide technical leadership across project teams, and lead engineering development meetings that influence the direction of others.
• own requirements & validation, lead reviews and negotiations of customer specifications, industry and regulatory standards, and internal design guidelines to establish product electrical requirements;
• lead requirement analysis and validation planning in line with automotive functional safety and ASPICE — without guidance;
• lead workgroups to collect, analyze, and cascade system requirements;
• refine performance and design‑constraint requirements against feasibility and optimization.
• define the system architecture, including sizing and cell selection based on the core product portfolio; cascade requirements to engineering disciplines and subsystems; allocate performance and limiting requirements across functional levels; define component and discipline interfaces; assign subsystem/component ownership and release responsibility.
• drive design & risk management, moderate the system‑level DFMEA and coordinate it with subsystem and component FMEAs; direct the specification and design of all battery components — mechanical, electrical, software, and electronics — managing trade‑offs between them; review designs for manufacturability (DFM).
• lead suppliers & sourcing, mentor the development of supplier relationships to generate component specifications, lead make‑vs‑buy analysis with functional groups, and lead suppliers to deliver components to specification.
• integrate, verify & control change review system work packages and test results in support of design verification; define the system integration strategy and lead system integration and testing; lead engineering change request and change order activities.
• document & standardize, define and document system engineering processes and maintain a sensible archive of engineering documentation — calculations, drawings, intellectual property, DFMEAs, validation reports, meeting minutes, trip reports, and customer communication.
• develop people, coach and lead the development of others, serving as a go‑to mentor for fellow engineers.

What success looks like

• clear, validated, and traceable system requirements established across customer specifications, standards, and internal guidelines;
• a well‑defined system architecture — with sizing, cell selection, and ownership cleanly cascaded to every discipline and subsystem;
• programs led to cross‑functional and leadership alignment, even when the solution path is non‑obvious;
• suppliers delivering components to specification, backed by sound make‑vs‑buy decisions;
• successful system integration and verification, supported by rigorous documentation and repeatable engineering processes;
• other engineers growing through your mentoring and technical leadership;
• core competencies internally recognized technical expertise and a reputation as the go‑to engineer for learning and mentoring;
• leadership of programs with defined problems but non‑obvious solutions — comfortable with experimentation, in-depth trade‑off analysis, and weighing strategic design implications;
• clear communication of technical topics across functions and leadership to achieve alignment and buy‑in;
• deep systems engineering rigor across requirements, architecture, integration, and verification;
• working command of automotive functional safety and ASPICE processes;
• strength in DFMEA, design for manufacturability, supplier management, and make‑vs‑buy analysis.

What you bring (qualifications)

• minimum experience: bachelor’s degree in a related field with proven industry experience (10+ years);
• technical master’s degree (thesis track or equivalent) in a related field with proven industry experience (4–15 years);
• scientifically relevant Ph.D. from a technically rigorous program and institution with technically related experience (2–11 years).
