• Independently manage requirements engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring alignment with project-specific processes and ASPICE requirements.

• Own the setup, maintenance, and continuous improvement of IBM ALM DNG infrastructure, including formal modules, link structures, baselines, and traceability models.

• Manage the import, maintenance, distribution, and export of customer requirements while ensuring data integrity and consistency across all project stakeholders.

• Establish and maintain complete traceability between customer, system, safety, hardware, software, and verification requirements.

• Coordinate requirements analysis activities with Functional Safety Managers, System Architects, Project Managers, Hardware Leads, Mechanical Leads, and other stakeholders.

• Clarify ambiguous, incomplete, or conflicting requirements with internal teams and external customers to ensure a common understanding and successful implementation.

• Monitor, analyze, and report requirements quality, traceability coverage, review status, and compliance metrics.

• Lead formal reviews of requirements modules and support preparation for ASPICE assessments, customer audits, and certification activities.

• Identify opportunities to improve requirements management processes, methodologies, and tool usage, contributing to continuous process improvement initiatives.

• Solve moderately complex requirements management challenges with minimal guidance while supporting and mentoring colleagues on best practices and process compliance.

What You Need to Be Successful

• Advanced understanding of requirements engineering principles, traceability concepts, and requirements lifecycle management within automotive development environments.

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience with requirements management tools such as IBM DOORS or IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (DNG) in production projects.

• Strong knowledge of requirements management processes, configuration management principles, baselining strategies, and change management practices.

• Working knowledge of Automotive SPICE® processes and their application within product development projects.

• Good understanding of embedded systems development and systems engineering principles.

• Proven ability to manage complex requirements structures, maintain end-to-end traceability, and support cross-functional development teams.

• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and attention to detail when dealing with large and complex requirements datasets.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• A proactive mindset, ownership mentality, and continuous improvement approach to requirements engineering activities.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Experience supporting Functional Safety (ISO 26262) requirements management activities.

• Experience with compliance, homologation, or certification-related requirements.

• Knowledge of RFI/RFQ processes and customer requirements acquisition activities.
