Mission of the Role:

Model-Based Design (MBD) specialist is to champion and implement the principles of Model-Based Design throughout the product development lifecycle utilizing advanced modeling techniques and tools to create dynamic and efficient software models.

Optimize the use of simulation and validation tools, facilitating early detection of design flaws, and promoting a more iterative and efficient development cycle.

Staying on top of emerging trends and technologies in the field of Model-Based Design, actively contributing to continuous improvement initiatives, and acting as a subject matter expert to guide the organization in adopting best practices in MBD methodologies.

 

Key Objectives of this Role:

Software Quality: Contributes to improved software quality by identifying and rectifying design issues early in the development process, reducing the likelihood of defects in the final product. Enhances the overall product experience and customer satisfaction.

Team Capability: Through training, mentoring, and collaboration, strengthens team's capability in Model-Based Design.

Reusability: Standardized practices and the creation of a knowledge repository, contribute to reusability of models and design components, promoting efficiency and minimizing redundancy in development efforts.

 

Key Performance Indicators:

Model Quality:

Reduction in design-related defects post-implementation. Compliance with standardized MBD practices and component maturity matrix.

Collaboration and Capability Improvement:

Number of team members trained and following Model-Based Design practices. Number of documented contributions to the knowledge repository. Frequency and effectiveness collaborative sessions, successful knowledge transfers.

Reusability and Efficiency:

Percentage of reusable components in models. Reduction of Time-to-market for MBD software components developed using Model-Based Design.

 

Key Year One Deliverables:

Lead the SW team technically & provide design guidance for successful delivery of the MBD SW components to customer projects with quality and quick turnaround time. Improve the quality compliance of the deliverables by ensuring team follows standardized practices and utilizes MIL and SIL tools to have early defect detection in SW development.

 

Key Job Responsibilities:

Develop AutoSAR compliant Applications and Algorithms (SWCs/ASWs) for Battery Management and Control Systems (BMS) for different Customer OEM requirements. Understand Third-party / OEM software / Reusable components and interface with the existing system. Create Reusable, Efficient and Scalable MATLAB Models adhering to Automotive Design standards and best practices. Assuring Quality Compliance with MAAB / Coverity / MISRA / CERT / HIS Interpret Customer Requirements and translate them into efficient High Level and Low-level designs. Should use Novel design approaches to leverage maximum benefits of having common architecture for different vehicle lines with slightly varying Customer requirements. Design ASIL compliant applications and verify with fault injection testing on target. Identify and implement test methodologies at MIL/SIL/Unit/Functional level. Interface with Leads of Architecture/Systems/Safety/Validation and coordinate with the team for aligned development of designs. Analyse reported defects in quick time and provide resolution/necessary documentation to the stakeholders. Provide necessary improvement suggestions and Lessons learnt to the team to prevent recurrence and minimize defects / rework in the existing environment. Establish and maintain end to end traceability for the V-model SDLC.

Education

Bachelors or Post Graduate degree in Electrical / Electronics / related field of Engineering.
