- 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
