Hydrogen and Electrified Mechatronic Architecture

01 / Problem

Problem

Electrified mechatronic systems require coordinated requirements, interfaces, controls, hardware, safety reasoning, and verification across disciplines.

02 / Context

Why it matters

Architecture provides the shared structure needed to manage interfaces and verification intent before integration risk becomes expensive.

03 / Boundary

System boundary

Functional and interface architecture for air-path, recirculation, compressor, motor, controls, safety, and verification concerns at a public-safe level.

04 / Contribution

Contribution

Requirements flow-down, interface architecture, model-based development strategy, functional-safety alignment, and cross-functional technical integration.

05 / Method

Methods and tools

• Requirements engineering
• MBSE
• E-compressor and motor systems
• ISO 26262
• MIL/SIL/HIL strategy

06 / Decisions

Architecture decisions

• Make interfaces and ownership explicit before detailed implementation.
• Connect safety intent to architecture and verification artifacts.
• Plan model-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, and hardware-in-the-loop evidence as one progression.

07 / Insight

Outcome or insight

A coherent systems-engineering approach for multidisciplinary development, intentionally omitting supplier-specific and internal program information.

08 / Confidentiality

Confidentiality note

This case study is intentionally limited to public-safe methods and architectural patterns. It excludes customer names, proprietary diagrams, internal identifiers, supplier information, funding amounts, and confidential performance data.
