MISSION
Own the system and electronics engineering of a wearable airbag vest ECU, from architecture definition through industrialization and manufacturing release.
The role combines system engineering ownership and electronics design leadership for an existing product platform that will evolve across multiple generations, with increased functionality, connectivity, and performance.
The objective is to deliver safe, robust, manufacturable, and evolvable ECU solutions that meet functional, safety, cost, quality, and planning requirements for a critical safety application.
The role acts as the technical reference, working closely with the Project Manager, hardware and software teams, industrialization, suppliers, and validation teams. In addition, the System lead will be the main technical contact for the Product teams and will work on the integration with them. The team is located in France & Sweden mainly. Travel to France, China, US & other countries is expected regularly (Several times a year)
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
System & Product Architecture
Define, maintain, and evolve the ECU system architecture across generations (sensing, processing, power, safety interfaces, connectivity, updates)
Perform functional analysis including safety and cybersecurity
Define system modularity, interfaces, constraints, and services,
Ensure architectural consistency across hardware, embedded software, and connectivity (mobile gateway & cloud interfaces)
Own the technical roadmap for future product generations
Electronics Design Leadership
Lead and approve key electronics design choices (MCU/SoC, sensors, power architecture, connectivity modules, safety‑critical circuits)
Identify technical risks and design hard points and define mitigation actions
Validate design results with hardware and software leads
Ensure compliance with cost, power consumption, robustness, and environmental constraints specific to wearable products
Development Process, Safety & Compliance
Apply suitable systems engineering methods, e.g., following the V‑cycle
Ensure alignment with functional safety and quality processes
Lead or contribute to risk and safety analyses (DFMEA, PFMEA, hazard analysis)
Ensure full traceability from requirements to verification and validation
Requirements & Documentation
Define and approve system requirements, product specifications, and interface specifications
Ensure consistency of system documentation (item definition, architecture, interfaces)
Manage change impact analysis across variants and generations
Maintain the design definition file for prototype and series production
Connectivity, FOTA & Lifecycle (ECU Scope)
Define ECU‑side architecture for secure connectivity and cloud interaction
Own the FOTA strategy (architecture, safety, rollback, validation)
Ensure long‑term maintainability and field robustness
(Mobile app and cloud development are out of scope; ECU interfaces are in scope.)
Prototyping & Industrialization
Define prototype needs and lead technical validation
Support or lead Design for Manufacturing and Test (DFM/DFT)
Define system‑level test and production test strategies
Ensure readiness for industrialization and manufacturing release
Technical Leadership
Coordinate the system and electronics design team
Organize technical and architecture reviews
Interface with project management, development teams, manufacturing, and suppliers
Provide technical support and training when required
PROFILE
Education & Experience
Engineering degree (Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics or equivalent)
4–6 years’ experience in embedded real‑time systems
Proven background in system architecture, electronics leadership, and safety‑critical products
Skills
Strong expertise in embedded electronics and ECU design
Solid knowledge of embedded development, low‑power systems, functional safety, connectivity, and FOTA
Experience with prototyping and industrialization
Soft Skills
Strong technical leadership and communication
Autonomous, structured, and solution‑oriented
Excellent professional English
Start: ASAP | Duration: Long term
Scope: System & Electronics ownership for current and next‑generation wearable airbag ECUs
