Vehicle-Level Requirements & Systems Engineering

Own the vehicle-level requirements inside RV Tech across programs. You define the quality standards and structure for incoming requirements before they enter engineering scope.

Drive the consistent creation of user stories from vehicle requirements. You ensure they are testable, traceable, and aligned with SoWs and the feature list.

Apply systems engineering principles to decompose and abstract requirements across system hierarchy levels, from component and subsystem up to vehicle level.

Challenge overly detailed or prescriptive requirements that describe legacy solutions rather than desired vehicle-level outcomes. You re-focus them with intent to unlock SDV narrative and RV Techs product strategy across programs.

Map technical interdependencies between domains (software, E/E architecture, mechanical, functional safety) and harmonize cross-functional requirements, identifying conflicts, redundancies, and gaps.

Create own standards for requirements to describe vehicle level test cases and product behavior (e.g. QLAHs)

Align requirement scope with parent company stakeholders (Rivian, VW Group brands) and domain PMs, interface with system architects to validate feasibility and allocation.

Requirement Intake and Stakeholder Interfaces

Establish and maintain quality gates and checklists for requirement intake, ensure consistent application of user story methodology across programs.

Translate vehicle-level and cross-functional requirements into well-structured user stories with acceptance criteria, regulatory traceability and test cases.

Work on the interface between RV Tech’s Product & Portfolio team (Feature Intake, BOF CCB and Change management), the parent stakeholders and RV Techs System teams.
