• Provides guidance and consultation to Design Release Engineers (DREs) in product development team meeting.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally within propulsion teams and across other SMTs.
• Collaborate and strategize with cross-functional teams.
• Ensure all vehicle Program Imperatives (i.e., piece cost, investment, mass, base engineering content & IPTV) involving these components are met.
• Work with DRE/Validation group to setup a plan for a component validation plan (includes component software verification) and ensure that the plan is executed in time to meet program imperatives.
• Lead DV/PV testing, EMI/EMC testing, and durability validation.
• Participate/lead in Formal Design, Peer and Quality Valve reviews as required by the Vehicle Development Process (VDP).
• Support ISO 26262 hardware safety analysis.
• Develop/Review/Approve all In-process Electrical test plans.
• Develop sourcing strategies and support supplier qualification.
• Support vehicle integration activity for pre-production and production vehicles.
• Lead/participate in issue resolution for design and development issues, ECU warranty analysis, parts restriction and report updates as required to Engineering and Vehicle Team leadership.
• Lead/support DFMEA/PFMEA.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelors degree in Engineering.
• 10+ years working experience in automotive hardware electronics design.
• Thorough experience in leading, designing, and developing electrical schematic, PCB layout, high‑current design, EMI/EMC robustness, thermal design, and packaging.
