Senior Automotive Systems Engineer (ASPICE)

Senior Automotive Systems Engineer (ASPICE)

Stuttgart, Germany (Hybrid)

Are you an experienced Automotive Systems Engineer who enjoys seeing the complete picture - from requirements and architecture through development, integration and verification?

I'm supporting an established international high-tech engineering organisation in the Greater Stuttgart area that develops advanced sensing and electronic solutions used within next-generation vehicles.

They are looking for a Senior Automotive Systems Engineer to take a central role within R&D, helping shape technically sophisticated products from initial system requirements through to successful verification and industrialisation.

This is an opportunity to join an organisation combining the stability and resources of an established technology business with a highly innovative engineering environment where individuals are encouraged to take ownership, challenge existing processes and make a visible impact.

What you will be doing

• Take ownership of systems engineering activities across the complete automotive development lifecycle / V-model
• Translate customer, product and stakeholder needs into clear and structured system requirements
• Contribute to and further develop system architectures for complex automotive sensing and electronic systems
• Ensure strong traceability and alignment between requirements, architecture, implementation, integration and verification
• Work closely with Embedded Software, Electronics/Hardware, Testing, Quality and Project Management teams
• Support the implementation and continuous improvement of Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) processes and engineering practices
• Identify opportunities to automate engineering processes , improve toolchains and increase R&D productivity
• Act as an important technical interface across multiple engineering disciplines and help resolve system-level challenges
• Contribute to the continued development of systems engineering methods, tools and best practices across the organisation

What we are looking for

• Degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics or a comparable technical discipline
• Several years of professional experience in Automotive Systems Engineering
• Strong experience with Requirements Engineering
• Good understanding of System Architecture and complex embedded/electronic systems
• Practical knowledge of Automotive SPICE / ASPICE
• Experience working across the V-model / V-cycle within automotive product development
• Comfortable collaborating across Software, Hardware, Verification, Quality and Project teams
• Strong communication skills combined with a genuinely holistic systems-thinking mindset
• Experience with automotive sensors, ECUs, embedded systems, environmental sensing, vehicle electronics or similar technologies would be particularly interesting.

Why consider it?

This isn't a role where Systems Engineering sits on the sidelines.

You’ll have end-to-end visibility and influence over products that ultimately make their way into real vehicles, working at the intersection of multiple engineering disciplines.

You can expect:

• High-impact R&D projects involving advanced automotive sensing technologies
• Significant technical ownership and freedom to contribute ideas
• Exposure to products developed for major players within the global automotive ecosystem
• Close collaboration with highly experienced Software, Hardware and Systems engineers
• The opportunity to influence and improve Systems Engineering practices and processes
• A strong focus on engineering excellence, automation and continuous improvement
• Flexible working arrangements including hybrid working
• Opportunity to participate financially in the wider success of the business
• Support towards public transport / commuting costs
• An international technology environment developing products with tangible impact
