• Actuator and sensor performance requirements
• Input to output transfer functions (e.g. latency, overshoot, oscillation, etc.)
• Calibration requirements
• Regulatory, safety and customer facing interactions (e.g. FE/CO2, DQ, Emissions, NVH, Performance)
• Signal/data retention
• Use physical (e.g. vehicle, bench) and virtual (e.g. models, simulation) to establish and test use cases and acceptance criteria for normal and degraded states of applicable sub-systems
• Create and maintain Sub-System Technical Specification (SSTS) documents for applicable subsystems
• Create and maintain sub-system specifications in requirements management software (e.g. Doors, Jama Connect, codebeamer, etc.)
• Root cause all applicable sub-system related issues and translate solutions into new or revised requirements
• Create and maintain Functional Architecture Documents (FADs)/Context Diagrams with the assistance of Global Architecture teams
• Lead sub-system level FMEAs and collaborate on System and Component FMEAs
• Use Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Integration Tool (FIT) for managing FMEA processes across applicable subsystems
