Descrição

The Role :

To achieve our vision of a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion, GM Mechatronics Hardware platform is evolving to provide robust service to our customers.

We are seeking a highly experienced, technical engineer in propulsion hardware and electrical design as we continue to staff a hardware engineering team that will own the end-to-end design and development of our propulsion controller hardware.

In this role, the Senior Hardware Design Engineer will be supporting the technical design & development of the propulsion controller hardware for GM’s next generation vehicles. The role requires an experienced professional with a background in automotive ECU architecture, design, and analysis, and a proven ability of successfully launching ECU’s into production.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong background and a proven track record in electrical schematic design, performing controller validation/testing, manufacturing knowledge, warranty analysis, and instrumentation design.  You will work with cross-functional teams (Semiconductor, DREs, GM software, PCB layout, Mechanical Engineering, Supplier, Validation, Quality) to deliver quality product on time.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities):

  • Design of propulsion controller electrical hardware: from schematic capture, worst case analysis, PCB layout, bring-up, debug, signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI), design verification test (environmental and EMC), to manufacturing support and production launch.
  • Design and development of the propulsion controller hardware (from concept design to launch) while meeting cost, timing, quality, and safety targets.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as software, mechanical, and manufacturing, to ensure seamless integration of the electrical design of the propulsion controller hardware.
  • Work closely with contract manufacturing partners to ensure successful product build, from prototype through to mass production, while maintaining quality, cost, and timing targets.
  • Electrical schematic design and PCB layout.
  • Support new IC design/development strategic to new propulsion controller designs and architectures.
  • Perform/support detailed hardware analysis – worst case analysis, thermal analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, etc.
  • Execute bring-up of hardware design from power supplies, SoCs, MCUs, network devices, solenoid/valve control, instrumentation, etc.
  • Lead design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testing (DFT).
  • Drive the validation and testing of hardware components and systems, ensuring high levels of reliability and performance.
  • Develop requirements and maintain validation support equipment.
  • Establish test plans and protocols to validate designs against requirements.  Work with other team members to perform testing.
  • Develop test equipment to enable bench root cause analysis for validation and warranty.
  • Troubleshoot hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions to resolve design problems.
  • Support manufacturing partners in troubleshooting and resolving any production-related issues that arise during the manufacturing process.
  • Develop requirements to enable third party manufacturing to build controller.
  • Conduct design reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure optimal solutions.
  • Lead/support DFMEA/PFMEA; ensure lessons learned and best practices are included.
  • Provide guidance and consultation to Design Release Engineers (DREs)

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

  • Bachelors degree (or higher) in Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of experience in electronic hardware design, with a strong focus on propulsion controller hardware design and automotive hardware electronics design.
  • Experience in designing propulsion controller hardware and components, such as SoCs, MCUs, Ethernet Switches, PHY, CAN, power supply design, etc.
  • Strong proficiency in circuit design, schematic creation, PCB layout, signal integrity and power integrity, and power management.
  • Experience in design & analysis tools like: Mentor Graphics (schematic & layout), Ansys (signal integrity), Simplis (power integrity), Altair (EMC), Mathcad, PSpice & Saber.
  • Proven ability of successfully launching build-to-print hardware into production.
  • In-depth knowledge of requirements engineering process (FMEA, Preliminary Hazard Analyses).
  • In-depth knowledge of verification and validation processes.
  • In-depth knowledge of embedded software development, testing and associated tools.
  • Understanding of hardware design and failure mode.
  • Thorough knowledge of design development and test engineering, manufacturing and assembly operations, engineering processes and procedures.
  • Knowledge of automotive industry standards (ISO 26262, ASIL) and safety-critical design principles.
  • Experience with system-level integration, including interfacing with sensors, processors, and communication protocols.
  • Experience with design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testing (DFT).
  • Demonstrated proficiency in controller development process, including but not limited to knowledge of schematics, PCB layouts, EMC and power dissipation.
  • In-depth knowledge of validation procedures and methods to test.
  • Knowledge of controller manufacturing.
  • This position requires you to be able to legally operate a motor vehicle.

People Skills:

  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to lead complex projects and work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
  • High level of analytical ability where problems are complex and difficult to solve.
  • Effective interpersonal skills that focus and influence others, including those which may have priority differences with yours.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills):

  • Master's degree in one of the following: Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Chemical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
  • 5-10 years of embedded controls hardware experience.
  • Experience in the GM component specification and release process.
  • Knowledge of vehicle dynamics and electronic chassis systems.
  • Basic understanding of vehicle serial data communications (e.g., CAN, GMLAN, & LIN).
  • Knowledge of OBD-II diagnostics.
  • Knowledge of automotive safety integrity levels (ASIL).
  • DFSS Black Belt certification.
