Objective of job
We are looking for an experienced Zone Controller (ZCU) System Architect to own the system-level design, technical definition, and mass-production delivery of our next-generation zone controller platform. You will be responsible for the full system architecture of distributed zone units under the Central Computing + Zone EEA framework.
Key Responsibilities
•
Own the full system architecture definition of vehicle zone controllers, including functional partitioning, I/O resource allocation, hardware capability planning, and system specification formulation;
•
Define unified ZCU platform specifications to support scalable and flexible deployment across different vehicle grades and configurations;
•
Responsible for zone domain boundary division, local closed-loop function definition, and service interaction logic between ZCU and central computing unit (CCU);
•
Design ZCU Ethernet/TSN networking strategy, VLAN partition, SOME/IP & DDS communication rules, and network load scheduling;
•
Define signal/service interaction mechanism between zone controllers, central domain, and traditional ECU systems;
•
Optimize communication latency, network jitter, and bandwidth utilization to ensure real-time and reliable system operation;
•
Design zone-level power distribution logic, partial power-off strategy, and full vehicle wake-up/sleep management;
•
Responsible for ZCU fault detection, fault degradation strategy, and local fault self-recovery mechanism;
•
Define ZCU layered OTA upgrade strategy, including firmware upgrade, service update, silent upgrade and rollback mechanism;
•
Design zone-side data collection, pre-processing, and data reporting policies to support vehicle big data and closed-loop iteration;
•
Close technical alignment with ADAS, cockpit, chassis, and platform teams to unify interface and system specifications;
•
Independently analyze and solve system-level problems such as network abnormality, logic conflict, power sequence failure, and service call exception;
•
Continuously optimize ZCU platform generality, scalability and cost performance.
