Support the root cause analysis for applicable sub-system related issues and translate resolutions into new or revised requirements, as appropriate
Support the development of requirements related to OBD regulations or calibrations, as applicable
Support the development and tagging of safety requirements, based on rolldown from systems/systems safety, and regulatory requirements
Operate in agile development of software-related requirements as a key participant and stakeholder in scrum meetings and ART ceremonies (e.g. Daily Stand-Up, Iteration Planning, Iteration Review, and Program Increment Planning, etc.)
Create and maintain Features and Stories to manage requirements and specifications of sub-systems using change management tool (e.g. Jira) and complete stories by agreed timing
Create and maintain Functional Architecture Documents (FADs)/Context Diagrams with the assistance of Global Architecture teams
Review Owner’s Manual and Service information related to the applicable sub-system to ensure alignment with intended sub-system operation, if applicable
Provide guidance to support COSIM environment development
Provide guidance and input for feature design verification plan by working with System and/or Feature Owners and Validation Engineers
Maintain open requirements issue list and review, track, and report on progress and status
Support advanced technical work projects that drive future features and vehicle enhancements
