Summary

Role Summary

As a Senior Electronic Design Engineer, you will play a key role in the development of cutting-edge zonal hardware that serves as the backbone for power distribution, fault tolerance, and control functions in our next-generation vehicles. We're looking for a hands-on engineer with a solid foundation in electrical engineering, a passion for innovation, self-motivated and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Your contributions will directly influence the performance, safety, and efficiency of future software-defined vehicles.
This role is expected to a hybrid position with 3 days in office.
Responsibilities
  • Lead the full hardware design lifecycle - from concept, safety decomposition, and requirements definition to schematic capture, layout, validation, and production.
  • Design, prototype, and validate robust low-voltage zonal control modules for automotive applications.
  • Tackle power electronics challenges, including solid-state circuit breaker design and distributed DC-DC converters for efficient power delivery.
  • Ensure signal integrity and interface compatibility across PCBs, sensors, actuators, and communication buses (CAN, SPI, Ethernet, analog/digital I/O).
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, software, vehicle dynamics, manufacturing, validation, and supply chain teams.
  • Evaluate and integrate new components and technologies (e.g., microcontrollers, high-side drivers, motor drivers), including working with suppliers to co-develop custom solutions.
  • Apply EMC best practices throughout design to ensure compliance and system robustness.
  • Conduct root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and failure investigations on PCBAs and electronic subsystems.
  • Support system integration and validation across build phases Proto, EVT, DVT, and vehicle-level testing.
  • Ensure compliance with functional safety and regulatory standards (ISO 26262, FUSA, etc.).
  • Lead cross-functional root cause analysis (RCA) for failures identified in manufacturing, field returns, diagnostics logs, and validation testing.
  • Perform board level electrical debug across power, sensing, comms, and control circuits.
  • Identify issues stemming from cross-functional aspects of vehicle ECUs design such as schematic, layout, SI/PI, component robustness, and hardware/software interactions.
  • Create detailed FA/RCA reports and drive corrective & preventive actions (CAPA) to HW, SW and system.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in electronic hardware design, preferably in the automotive industry.
  • Strong foundation in EE fundamentals; experience with electromechanical systems is a plus.
  • Experience designing for automotive environments, including an understanding of hardware/software development life cycles.
  • Knowledge of Tier 1 supplier processes, manufacturing constraints, and automotive design standards.
  • Familiarity with automotive EMC/EMI design best practices.
  • Hands-on experience with lab tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and similar.
  • Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and component release workflows is a plus.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset toward continuous improvement.
  • Willingness to travel up to 30% domestically and internationally.
