In complex on-board networks, the electrical and electronic systems network and control the extensive functions and electrical components in a machine or industrial system. They ensure that at all times, all function-relevant and safety-relevant components are supplied with electrical energy reliably and efficiently. Innovative solutions for the networking and control of electrical and electronic systems require perfect system design, optimal integration of all on-board network components, intelligent energy management, as well as testing and validation of the entire system.
System design comprises various sub-disciplines of electric/electronic system development.
