Electronics Design Engineer / Process Champion

This role carries technical responsibility for electronic (sub-)projects—or serves as an electronic technical specialist—owning electronics design, testing, and verification across several energy storage product areas with minimal guidance.

• Own electronics design, testing, and verification to ensure all requirements and development processes are satisfied.
• Apply solid automotive embedded electronics expertise to solve complex problems.
• Manage interfaces with other departments and present technical results.
• Take on expanded technical leadership, with accountability for product cost and schedule.

What You’ll Do (Impact Areas)

• Review customer specifications, industry and regulatory standards, and internal design guidelines to establish product electrical requirements.
• Perform requirement analysis and validation planning in accordance with automotive functional safety and ASPICE processes, with minimal guidance.
• Perform design verification activities—engineering analysis, simulation, design reviews, DFMEAs, validation testing, and reporting—per automotive functional safety and ASPICE processes.
• Create core and customer electronic circuit designs spanning analog, digital, micro-controller architecture, and power supplies.
• Generate technical requirements for electrical architecture and circuit design, components, and sub-assemblies (PCBA, contactors, fans, temperature sensors, Flex PCBs, and other electrical hardware).
• Generate hardware/software interface specifications and electronic test software requirements, working closely with the embedded software engineering team.
• Design and test vehicle-level electrical and electromagnetic performance per customer requirements; optimize the electrical system to balance cost, performance, mass, volume, and energy efficiency.
• Participate in electrical design analyses and test-result reviews supporting design verification.
• Define test setups and plans and execute tests for electrical circuits and components.
• Provide support for Engineering Change Requests and Engineering Change Orders.
• Support technical investigations and resolution of electrical component and circuit issues.
• Develop supplier relationships to deliver components to specification.
• Assist in design for manufacturability (DFM) to optimize designs for manufacturing processes.
• Actively participate on assigned project teams and tasks across engineering disciplines.
• Participate in engineering development meetings and occasionally provide direction to assist others in development tasks.
• Work independently, managing on-time tasks and responsibilities with minimal guidance.
• Perform process development and reviews per automotive functional safety and ASPICE processes.
• Enforce process adherence across the electronics lifecycle: requirements, design, manufacturing, verification, and validation.
• Review electronics product artifacts to ensure hardware-requirement traceability through the hardware development process.
• Generate electronic development processes, procedures, templates, and checklists to govern product development.

Core Competencies

• Solid automotive embedded electronics expertise and complex problem-solving.
• Proficiency with electronic design and development tools (schematic capture, layout, analysis, simulation).
• Hands-on proficiency with electrical engineering equipment (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes) and circuit debug and test.
• Expert knowledge of CAN, LIN, and Ethernet and associated development tools.
• Knowledge of automotive test methods, standards, equipment, and certifications.
• Collaboration across multiple engineering disciplines and clear technical communication.

What You Bring (Qualifications)

• BSEE from an accredited four-year college or university.
• 5–9 years of professional engineering experience in a related field.
• OE automotive / Tier 1 embedded electronics design experience.
• Full lifecycle automotive electronics experience (required).
• Experience with requirement management tools.
• Experience with Li-Ion battery management (desired).
