SENIOR ELECTRONICS HARDWARE ENGINEER

Core Objectives

• Deliver hardware documentation and process artifacts in full compliance with ASPICE HWE standards (Level 2 maturity).

• Achieve flawless product rollouts with zero hardware design flaws post-launch.

• Provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentoring to accelerate the development of mid-level and junior hardware design staff.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, simulate, and prototype automotive electronic control units (ECUs), managing both schematic capture and PCB layout strategies.

• Apply advanced analog, digital, and high-current power circuit design principles to meet stringent product specifications.

• Establish hardware architectures and select active/passive components balancing cost targets, performance, and manufacturability (DFM).

• Direct comprehensive hardware validation protocols, including EMI/EMC compliance testing, thermal dynamics, vibration profiling, and accelerated life testing.

• Direct technical interfacing with vehicle OEMs and independent test labs to ensure strict alignment with customer specifications.

• Lead root-cause failure analysis and implement corrective actions for prototype anomalies or field warranty issues.

• Generate and manage core engineering deliverables, including DFMEAs, DVPRs, and formal engineering release documentation.

Target Qualifications

• Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related technical field (Master’s preferred).

• Experience: 15+ years dedicated to automotive circuit design for high-volume manufacturing environments.

• Domain Expertise: Demonstrated history designing ECU hardware, power electronics, and microcontroller-based embedded architectures for Tier-1 suppliers or vehicle manufacturers.

• Networking & Protocols: Thorough understanding of vehicle communication networks (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Automotive Ethernet).

• Validation Standards: Deep proficiency in EMC/EMI standards (e.g., CISPR 25, ISO 11452) and environmental durability specs (e.g., ISO 16750, IEC 60068).

• Functional Safety: Working familiarity with ISO 26262 functional safety requirements and IPC layout standards.

• Technical Tooling: Advanced proficiency in ECAD applications (Altium, Mentor Graphics, OrCAD), simulation software (PSPICE, MathCad), and lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, VNAs, LCR meters).

• Work Authorization: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
