Lead System & Electronics Engineer – Wearable Airbag ECU

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
