Description

Role Summary

General Motors is expanding its in-house electronics capabilities to support next-generation Central Compute, ADAS, and software-defined vehicle platforms. The Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer will contribute across electrical architecture, circuit design, hardware integration, and validation to deliver robust, production-ready ECUs.

This role requires strong electrical engineering fundamentals combined with system-level thinking. The engineer will work across schematic development, component selection, layout guidance, electrical analysis, bring-up, and hardware/software interface definition.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Architecture & Design

  • Contribute to hardware architecture including power topology, high-speed interfaces, clocking, resets, and system partitioning.
  • Develop and review schematics for complex mixed-signal and high-speed digital designs.
  • Perform component selection with consideration for electrical performance, automotive qualification, reliability, thermal, and power constraints.
  • Provide PCB layout guidance for signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI mitigation.
  • Participate in design reviews and technical trade studies.

Electrical Analysis & Robustness

  • Perform and review electrical analysis including:
    • WCCA (Worst Case Circuit Analysis)
    • Power distribution and sequencing validation
    • Interface margin and performance evaluation
  • Contribute to DFMEA activities, addressing both design and interaction-related risks.
  • Support Functional Safety (FuSA) hardware considerations as applicable.

Hardware Bring-Up & Debug

  • Lead and support bench-level bring-up including power-on sequencing, clock validation, reset behavior, and interface activation.
  • Debug hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol tools.
  • Analyze failures and drive root cause resolution across hardware and system boundaries.
  • Provide feedback to improve design robustness and integration margin.

Hardware–Software Interface & System Integration

  • Develop and maintain Hardware Software Interface Specifications (HSIS).
  • Collaborate with internal and external software teams during boot and low-level driver bring-up.
  • Ensure hardware interfaces are clearly defined, testable, and aligned with software usage.
  • Support system-level validation and readiness activities.

Verification & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Contribute to hardware verification test plans and bench validation activities.
  • Work closely with systems, software, validation, and manufacturing teams to ensure alignment.
  • Support EV/DV/PV validation phases and issue resolution.
  • Communicate technical status, risks, and mitigation plans clearly to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in automotive or high-complexity electronics development.
  • Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design.
  • Experience with schematic development and PCB layout guidance.
  • Hands-on bench debugging experience.
  • Experience contributing to WCCA and DFMEA.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Central Compute, ADAS, infotainment, or high-performance ECUs.
  • Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (Ethernet, PCIe, DDR, SerDes).
  • Familiarity with automotive standards including ISO 26262 and EMC requirements.
  • Experience developing HSIS documentation.
  • Experience collaborating closely with software teams on HW/SW integration.
  • Experience supporting EV/DV/PV validation.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to contribute to next-generation vehicle compute platforms.
  • Exposure across architecture, design, integration, and validation.
  • Collaboration with senior technical leaders across hardware, systems, and software.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and long-term technical growth.
