Functional Design Architect (Thermal&Comfort) 功能设计架构师（热管理与舒适性）

Objective of job

Define, design, and evolve the thermal management and comfort domain system design for next-generation electrical/electronic systems. Design the EE control system to deliver the best user experience, safety, and security while balancing system complexity and cost, enabling software-defined vehicle capabilities through software/hardware decoupling and high abstraction.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify development trends, new technologies, and new features in the thermal management and comfort domain.
• Design EE control systems for powertrain, HV battery, air conditioning, HVAC, and related functions.
• Develop vehicle, powertrain, and HV system requirements into IO, signal and service, safety and security, diagnostic, function specification, and performance requirements.
• Lead cross-domain architecture reviews and decision-making.
• Collaborate with system architects, software teams, and ECU suppliers to ensure seamless integration.
• Lead troubleshooting in the thermal management and comfort domain to ensure timely and quality delivery.
• Contribute to the long-term E/E architecture roadmap.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in vehicle engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, telecommunications, or a related field.

Experience: 6+ years of experience in thermal management and comfort domain system or function design. Experience with OEMs or Tier-1 automotive suppliers is strongly preferred. Experience delivering thermal management and comfort domain designs in centralized EE architectures and SOA platforms is preferred.

Technical skills: Knowledge of powertrain and HV thermal management, cabin comfort functions, thermal control algorithms for BEV, HEV, REEV, and PHEV vehicles, ECU cooling requirements, cross-domain functions, SOA concepts, in-vehicle networks including CAN, LIN, and Ethernet, and EEA modeling tools such as PREEvision or EA. AUTOSAR knowledge is a plus.

Soft skills: Strong system-level thinking, an architectural mindset, excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management skills, the ability to work internationally and cross-culturally, and a problem-solving mindset with attention to detail. Fluent English is required; German is a plus.
