System Development Engineer

 

As a member of the System Development Team in the Electrified Powertrain Engineering division of FPT Industrial, you will be part of a highly skilled team driven to design and engineer best-in-class electrical systems and architectures for FPT Industrial electrified powertrain product portfolio. Starting from customer and application requirements, you will support functional and performance analysis and specification definition at system and components level, taking care of effective integration of subsystems into hybrid and full electric powertrains both at test bench and on vehicle. You will work in a collaborative team environment. You will be contributing to the development of advanced concepts as well as their implementation for application to on-road vehicles and non-road applications.

 

Your tasks:

• Working in a multidisciplinary team, develop and deliver best-in-class electric system architectures for FPT Industrial electrified powertrain product portfolio for hybrid, battery and fuel cell electric powertrain




• Perform requirements analysis




• Support energy management simulations and mapreliminary sizing (energy, power, coolant system) of electrified powertrain components like electric motors, inverter, battery, supercap, auxiliaries




• Define functional requirements to be implemented in an electric powertrain control unit




• Verify matching of component technical requirements (State of Requirements) with system requirements and evaluate supplier technical proposals (Analysis and review of technical documentation, design of test plan)




• Define bill of material for electrified powertrain and verify component compatibility among the system with electrical, mechanical, functional and qualification requirements




• Identify required hardware/software and communication signal interfaces among the system and with the external components




• Define, manage and supervise supplier and internal system development and validation activities: drawings and technical documentation release, virtual simulation, design and installation FMEA, test plans (DVP), plan and supervise test series on rig (components), bench and vehicle (total system)




• Support problem solving and troubleshooting activities




• Communicate results and make presentations that describe analysis and solutions




• Collaborate closely with various internal departments / laboratories and universities
