Joining ALTEN Morocco means becoming part of an ecosystem of excellence and benefiting from:

• A personalized and evolving career path
• An ambitious skills development policy
• A stimulating, collaborative, and meaningful work environment

Define, write, and maintain the technical specifications that describe the functional software content of the Body Controller Module (BCM) for the Smart Car Wave 2 program.

These specifications are the reference documents used by the BCM supplier for software development.

Responsibilities

1. Specification Authoring & Maintenance

• Write detailed functional specifications covering all BCM‑related features (power distribution management, lighting, wiping, diagnostics, wake-up logic, vehicle modes, signal handling, etc.).
• Formalize functional behavior through clearly defined states, transitions, timing rules, inputs/outputs, arbitration rules, and network communication (CAN/LIN/ETH).
• Update specifications based on:
  • bench and vehicle validation results,
  • customer field issues,
  • software planning changes (sprints/releases).
• Evaluate the impact of defects and changes on the existing specification set and maintain consistency across documents.

2. Supplier Interface

• Collaborate closely with the BCM supplier to clarify requirements, remove ambiguities, and ensure common understanding.
• Participate in reviews, convergence sessions, and freeze milestones for specifications.
• Verify the proper integration of requirements into:
  • delivered software versions,
  • sprint deliverables,
  • release milestones defined by the software lead.

3. Validation Analysis & Functional Quality

• Analyze:
  • HiL/SiL bench results,
  • vehicle test results,
  • customer-reported issues.
• Identify deviations from expected behaviors and specify required updates.
• Work with validation teams, EE architecture, vehicle teams, and software leads to ensure corrections are implemented within the defined deadlines.

4. Software Development Lifecycle Alignment

• Understand and work with standard automotive software development workflows:
  • branching strategies (mainline, feature branches, release branches),
  • sprint‑based development,
  • merge and freeze strategies,
  • incremental delivery.
• Ensure specifications stay aligned with product strategy, software maturity roadmap, and planned software milestones.

• Engineering degree in electronics, embedded systems, or electrical engineering.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in automotive embedded software, ideally on BCM or similar body electronics ECU.
• Strong analytical skills, rigor, and autonomy.
• Ability to communicate effectively with internal teams and external suppliers.
• Fluent in English
