설명

Hybrid:
This role is categorized as  hybrid . This means the successful candidate is expected to report to one of the following locations:  Warren, MI  or  Sunnyvale, CA  three times (Tues., Wed., Thurs.) per week, at minimum.

The Ideal Candidate

Connectivity plays a pivotal role in using and advancing technology to offer unparalleled customer experience and develop revenue-generating streams, while acting as a cornerstone to offer safety-critical, hands-free driving solutions in line with General Motors’ strong safety culture.

We are seeking an experienced  Staff Hardware Engineer  to  own and drive  validation and test strategy for best-in-class automotive connectivity systems. The ideal candidate has deep, hands-on experience developing and executing component- and system-level test plans for systems involving high-performance computing and wireless interfaces,  plus a proven track record of leading and mentoring engineers, and influencing cross-functional direction .

The Role

The  Staff Hardware Engineer  will serve as the  technical leader for validation and test  of connectivity hardware, responsible for:

  • Defining and implementing detailed validation strategies and plans to verify schematic design, PCB layout, performance, functional and electrical validation of all interfaces.
  • Ensuring robust issue detection, triage, and resolution for hardware components and systems that support Connectivity technologies across all GM vehicles and architectures.
  • Providing  technical leadership and day-to-day guidance  to other hardware validation engineers, establishing best practices and driving continuous improvement in methods, coverage, and metrics.

This role is tightly coupled to cross-functional teams, including mechanical designers, PCB layout, product managers, RF/Wireless and systems engineers, suppliers, and software/firmware teams, to:

  • Create secure and reliable Connectivity solutions.
  • Assist in defining future technology roadmaps.
  • Ensure timely resolution of issues that arise throughout development and production.
  • Represent hardware validation status, risk, and trade-offs to program leadership.

What You’ll Do

  • Serve as  validation and test lead  for Connectivity modules, ensuring alignment of test strategy with program requirements and milestones.
  • Expert use of lab instruments:  Oscilloscopes, VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, Logic Analyzers, Power Analyzers .
  • Lead validation of  signal and power integrity  for  LPDDR5, PCIe, USB3.x/2.0, SPI, I2C, CAN and LIN  buses.
  • Develop, execute, and maintain  comprehensive validation plans  for Connectivity modules to verify component- and system-level functionality, including regression and corner-case coverage.
  • Collaborate with design and production teams to understand and test against product requirements;  challenge requirements and test coverage where necessary  to ensure robustness.
  • Analyze and interpret data from validation tests, offering  clear insights, risk assessments, and recommendations  to stakeholders.
  • Validate  power delivery, power sequencing, and power rail stability  under various operating modes and environmental conditions.
  • Collaborate with silicon vendors (e.g.,  NXP, TI, Qualcomm ) to align on SoC bring-up, interface characteristics, and debug of complex issues.
  • Collaborate with  software/firmware, systems, and design teams  to support hardware validation, root-cause analysis, and functional bring-up.
  • Collaborate with  wireless/RF systems and design teams  to support hardware validation, root-cause analysis, and functional bring-up for cellular, Wi‑Fi, GNSS, UWB, and other wireless technologies.
  • Create  clear test reports, validation metrics, and dashboards ; recommend corrective actions or design improvements based on test results and trends.
  • Mentor and coach  junior engineers and peers in test methodology, lab practices, and data analysis.
