Platform Architect

Platform System Architecture Design

• Lead and develop platform standards; embedded system architecture design based on Valeo/Customer system requirements, working closely with each of the R&D teams to develop feasible platform solutions.
• Review of System Requirements and subsequent translation into internal system architectural designs.
• Liaise with the HW, SW, Mechanical, Production and Test Engineering to technically analyse and develop platform solutions and allocate architecture requirements.
• Perform engineering assessment of all internal and external change requests (CR) made to the project and translation of these into specific architecture requirements updates.
• Lead and/or support System FMEA, DFMEA analysis.
• System state machine, operating modes and feature use cases analysis.
• Hardware resource analysis (memory, computational power) for applicable features/functions including framework.
• Internal/External interfaces design and analysis; speed, bandwidth, timings etc.
• Video/Data pipeline design and analysis.
• Support BOM analysis for best cost and performance effective solutions, design reviews and board bring-up.
• Support and engage with Functional Safety (FuSa) and CyberSecurity (CS) teams.

Platform Technology Development

• Research and Development of automotive vision/fusion ECU and ADAS DC products - Automated Driving (AD), Automated Parking (AP) and
• Surround View Systems (SVS).
• Develop proof of concept and standardize next generation embedded solutions that are aligned with Platform Strategy.
• Understand technology trends to converse with internal/external customers and give guidance in terms of roadmap.
• development.
• Next Generation Technology analysis; Multicore SoCs / MCUs, video transmission, image processing, algorithm & HMI.
• Analyze emerging technologies to improve system performance and reliability, ensuring that the best cost and performance effective solutions are selected.
• Support/feedback to TDP (Technology Development Plan), participating in the Platform Committee where needed.
• Participate in, contribute to or lead technical communication with customers and technology suppliers.
• IP clearance and protect design ideas with IDM/Patents applications.

Platform Deliverables

• Create the system architecture timing plan which must be aligned with the overall platform/project plan.
• Ensure system architecture work products are baselined, released & managed through the Configuration Management & Change Control processes which must be aligned with the timing plan.
• Complete scheduled tasks to deliver system development output to the project team as per agreed timing plan.
• Participate in project teams and report on platform system architecture activities as appropriate.
• Comply with ISO/IEC 15504 ASPICE Process Assessment Model / company R&D process.
