About the Role

As an Advanced Engineer – Hardware, you will be responsible for the hardware and electrical design of automotive products such as infotainment systems, displays, audio units, and ADAS applications. You will lead the review and analysis of system requirements, execute and evaluate designs, perform circuit analysis, oversee PCB layout, support DV/PV testing, and manage complex engineering projects throughout the full product development lifecycle to meet customer requirements. You will plan, define, and execute hardware development for automotive electronic products independently, without supervision.

What You Will Do

• Lead the hardware/electrical design for the product to meet development schedule and quality through the whole product life cycle.

• Responsible for realization of electronic system designs and schematics.

• Analyze customer requirements in order to understand and determine appropriate circuit implementations.

• Work with PCB layout engineer to implement optimized PCB layouts with compliance to EMC & manufacturing design rules while meeting mechanical packaging requirements.

• Design, simulate and verify the electrical circuits and determine the performance characteristics using SPICE, Hyperlynx, ANSYS, and/or other engineering tools.

• Plan and implement HW verification during product development, to ensure the electrical design meets specifications and requirements, by recording and analyzing test data.

• Manage and release the electrical BOMs.

• Support failure analysis, investigation, and resolve of EMC issues in testing.

• Support the development and review of the environmental and EMC hardware validation test plans with the validation engineers.

• Support the manufacturing team related to DFM and test reviews and technical build issues.

• Lead electronic design reviews both with the internal cross-functional teams.

• Support the development and review of DFMEAs and FuSa work products.

• Mentor & guide junior engineering talent with technical expertise.

• Follow current hardware development process and also contribute to process improvement.

• Support departmental initiatives and activities as directed by the department supervisor.

What You Need to be Successful

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.

• 10+ years of experience in the field of automotive electronics engineering, or a related field.

• Hands-on experience with electrical schematics such as Mentor Graphics, OrCAD, Cadence, or similar.

• Strong understanding of PCB layout concepts and best practices.

• Familiarity with electrical simulation tools is preferred, such as ANSYS signal integrity and power integrity, HyperLynx, SPICE, or similar.

• Familiarity with cockpit electronics-related technologies is preferred, such as high-speed SOCs, DRAM, flash, microcontrollers, CAN, Ethernet, LVDS/oLDI video, SerDes, (GMSL, FPDLink), displays, and linear and switching power supplies.

• Knowledge of Automotive EMC requirements is preferred, including EMC troubleshooting.

• Proficient in the use of electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and multimeters.

• Ability to troubleshoot issues with electronic circuits and perform root cause analysis in order to determine corrective actions.

• Ability to analyze and optimize circuits and designs for cost.

• Ability to perform worst-case circuit analysis.

• Strong documentation and reporting skills.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Experience designing cockpit electronics + displays (HUD, Cluster, Infotainment, etc.)

• Experience designing projectors using technologies such as DLP, Laser, and TFT.

• Knowledge of ISO26262, ASPICE, and other automotive-related standards.

What Makes You Eligible

• Be willing to travel up to 10% domestic and international.

• Successfully complete a background investigation and drug screen as a condition of employment.
