Job Description
The Mechatronic Systems Supervisor leads and develops a team of Core Systems Engineers responsible for defining, developing, and validating the logical requirements for new and modified mechatronic vehicle features (e.g., electric power steering, e-actuators, motor/gear systems, sensor-actuator control loops, and closed-loop control systems). The team owns the feature definition process end-to-end — from stakeholder/use-case elicitation, through Concept of Operations, system definition, system analysis, and functional safety (DFMEA) development, to the generation and handoff of logical requirements to the Mechatronics application team. Beyond requirements handoff, the Supervisor's team remains the primary stakeholder throughout the iterative hardware/software cascade and simulation activities performed by Mechatronics, leads the functional safety-to-DFMEA cross-validation checkpoint, and serves as the accountable owner of system/subsystem sign-off. The team also leads physical realization of the system — building mockups, fixtures, or 3D-printed prototypes — and develops and executes the associated test plans. The Supervisor is accountable for the technical quality, timeliness, and process discipline of the team's requirements and sign-off deliverables, for resource planning and workload distribution across programs, and for the professional growth of direct reports. The role acts as the primary escalation point and program-facing leader for mechatronic feature development, balancing engineering rigor, program timing, and cross-functional relationships with the program, customer experience and vehicle architecture teams, the Mechatronics application team, and quality/supplier partners.
