This is how you will grow:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to consolidate detailed technical requirements and high-level architecture specifications for the next-generation Connectivity solutions spanning telematics communication gateways and Over The Air Updates (OTA) infrastructure to manage the vehicle firmware, calibration, and bootloader upgrades. 
•  Formulate high-level design specifications that form a baseline for detailed system and software design and verification testing. The primary customers are software development and verification engineers.  
• Conduct Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) at system and software levels.  
• Closely collaborate with the Development, Verification, Integration, and Service engineers to establish product excellence; the teams span internal and external teams, including suppliers and partners. 
•  Author Connectivity RFPs, RFQs, and SoWs and evaluate suppliers. 
•  Ensure complete requirements and architecture traceability and compliance with industry standards. 
•  Ensure optimization of software through design reviews. 
•  Collaborate with extended teams, including Controls, Security, Infotainment, and UX, to realize the project objectives on time and within budget. 
• Formulate balanced solutions for unstructured, complex problems with multi-dimensional constraints, e.g., performance (throughput, latency), power consumption, CPU bandwidth, network bandwidth, complexity, extensibility, security, and safety. 
•  Approach challenges/problems laterally across the systems and domains, drill down vertically to subsystems and elements involved, and reconcile gaps and contradictions. 
•  Diligently follow through, follow up on commitments, and proactively unblock the issues; avoid negative surprises.
