Requirements Engineer - Connected Applications

Requirements Engineer – Connected Applications (Mobile & Cloud, Wi-Fi/BLE, IoT)
Role Description
The Requirements Engineer – Connected Applications will own end-to-end requirements definition for connected vehicle and IoT features spanning in-vehicle systems, mobile applications (Android/iOS), and cloud platforms. The role ensures requirements are clear, testable, user-centric, and traceable, with a strong focus on mobile app interactions with vehicles/devices and cloud services over Wi-Fi, BLE, and other wireless technologies.
Key Responsibilities
Mobile Application & Connected Features
Define and refine user stories, functional flows, and UX-impacting requirements for customer-facing mobile applications (Android/iOS) interacting with vehicles/IoT devices and cloud backends.
Specify BLE/Wi-Fi–based pairing, provisioning, and connectivity flows, including reconnection scenarios, error handling, and security constraints.
Collaborate closely with mobile product owners, UI/UX designers, and app developers to translate use cases into detailed app-level requirements (navigation, screen behavior, notifications, permissions, localization).
Define API and data-contract expectations between mobile apps and cloud/vehicle services, including request/response formats, error codes, latency expectations, and offline/online behavior.
Capture non-functional requirements for mobile applications, including performance (startup time, responsiveness), battery usage, data consumption, and reliability under varying network conditions.
Ensure requirements address platform-specific considerations (Android/iOS guidelines, OS version support, device compatibility, and baseline accessibility expectations).
Support backlog grooming, release planning, and prioritization by clarifying requirements, dependencies, and acceptance criteria for mobile and connected features.
Qualifications & Experience
Experience working with Android and/or iOS application teams in defining and managing requirements or user stories for connected, IoT, or automotive applications.
Working understanding of mobile app architectures (client-server, MVVM/MVC at a conceptual level), push notifications, and app-store release constraints is desirable.
Skills & Competencies
Strong end-user and app-centric mindset, with the ability to translate real-world journeys into intuitive, implementable mobile requirements.
Comfortable discussing flows, wireframes, and acceptance criteria with UX and mobile development teams while maintaining rigorous requirements structure and traceability.
Ability to balance product intent, technical feasibility, and user experience in a connected ecosystem.
