Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Automotive

Were a global multi-disciplinary team thats putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. At HARMAN Automotive we give you the keys to fast-tracking your career.

• Engineer audio systems and integrated technology platforms that augment the driving experience.

• Combine ingenuity in-depth research and a spirit of collaboration with design and engineering excellence.

• Advance in-vehicle infotainment safety efficiency and enjoyment.

About the Role

As a Requirements Engineer for the Automotive Audio Innovations Team you will serve as the critical bridge between product strategy system architecture and agile execution. Operating within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) ecosystem you will collaborate with multiple Scrum teams specializing in Audio Innovations Brand Applications UX Reference Platforms and Cross-Team Core Features.

Your core mission is to transform high-level Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and Customer Requirement Specifications (CRS) from tools like Aha! into highly structured traceable System (SRS) and Technical (TRS) Requirements within IBM DNG seamlessly mapping them to actionable Features and Modules in ALM.

What You Will Do

Requirement Elicitation & Synthesis

• Deconstruct Strategy: Analyze PRDs and high-level roadmap definitions within Aha! to extract the foundational Customer Requirement Specifications (CRS).

• Architectural Collaboration: Sit with System Architects Product Managers and Brand Owners to co-create refine and lock down the CRS SRS and TRS.

• Structure & Attributation: Author comprehensive System Requirements Specifications (SRS) and Technical Requirements Specifications (TRS). Define crisp data-driven requirement attributes and metadata within the requirement modules.

SAFe Alignment & ALM Feature Mapping

• Cross-Team Governance: Support a host of SAFe Scrum teams across various domains (UX Audio Matrix Brand Tuning Reference Platforms) to ensure cross-functional alignment on complex cross-team features.

• ALM Feature Ingestion: Map SRS/TRS documents directly to actionable Features and Design Requests within ALM Modules.

• Grooming & Clarity: Lead requirement and feature grooming sessions with Scrum teams ensuring engineering backlogs are technically robust and unambiguous.

• Define Quality Gates: Collaborate with stakeholders to establish and document a stringent Definition of Done (DoD) within the DNG tool for flawless feature delivery.

End-to-End Traceability & Quality Assurance

• Traceability Matrix: Establish track and maintain End-to-End (E2E) digital traceability: Aha! / PRD DNG (SRS/TRS) ALM Features/Modules.

• Validation Loop: Collaborate with the testing organization to ensure watertight traceability of test cases from ALM QLM back to the baseline SRS and TRS in DNG.

• User Acceptance: Participate in and facilitate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) gates before feature/product release to ensure execution matches the original design intent.

What You Need to Be Successful

Domain Expertise

• Automotive Systems: Solid engineering experience in the automotive domain as a Requirements or System Engineer.

• Audio & Infotainment Inflection: Hands-on experience or deep technical understanding of features including: Audio Sources & Routing Tuner & Media playback Vehicle Interfaces (CAN/LIN) Entertainment Systems Bluetooth Connectivity UI/UX interaction and Cybersecurity.

Tools & Systems

• Requirements Management: Advanced proficiency in IBM DOORS / DOORS Next Generation (DNG) for requirement import module structuring scrubbing and configuration management.

• Agile & Lifecycle Management: Hands-on experience with ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) ALM QLM Jira and Confluence.

• Product Roadmapping: Familiarity with Aha! or similar product management platforms.

• Visualizing Requirements: Experience using tools like Gliffy Visio or Miro to build block/flow diagrams that communicate complex system interactions.

Soft Skills & Methodology

• Scaled Agile: Clear understanding of SAFe methodologies including working across multiple parallel Scrum teams participating in PI Planning and managing cross-team feature dependencies.

• Systems Thinking: Ability to translate abstract design-heavy UX ideas or complex audio algorithms into structured testable engineering requirements.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Technical Leadership: The ability to guide engineering teams technically and anchor deep-dive architecture debates.

• AI-Driven Productivity: Experience utilizing AI tools/LLMs to accelerate requirement drafting automate parsing or enhance compliance/cleansing of SRS/TRS documentation.

• UI/UX Exposure: Prior experience or familiarity with UI design principles and wireframing/design prototyping tools.
