Electronic /Hardware Design Engineer

Description:

• The Electronic Design Engineer will support the design, development, and maintenance of electronic circuit boards for electronic control modules - from concept through production. Design responsibilities include the development and analysis of: analog, digital and power circuits including 8/16/32bit Ps and Cs, displays, linear and switching power supplies, injector drivers, on/off drivers and current drivers.

Job Duties/Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Creation of documentation including technical requirements, functional specifications, qualification test plans and product change notices.
• Create and troubleshoot electrical designs for electronic control modules.
• Generate schematics and support PCB layout designers.
• Support current production designs including quality improvements, cost reduction, component obsolescence and failure analysis.
• Evaluate and approve electronic components that meet requirements for availability, performance and cost.
• Evaluate failures to determine root cause and corrective actions. (for drivers, induction, digital, display, ECM, sensors etc)
• Participate with product teams on design development activities (Electrical design reviews)
• Interface and support validation and manufacturing engineers/technicians with validation and manufacturing testing.
• Apply knowledge of DOE, FMEA, tolerance analysis, simulation, statistical methods and DFM to improve robustness and quality of electronic design

Qualifications:

• 5-8 years of true design experience, must have Schematic design experience in either Displays, Engine Micro-Controllers, sensors, etc.
• Embedded software development with C and Assembly
• Highly technical in at least one of the electrical engineering field drivers, induction, digital, display, ECM, sensors etc
• Designed hardware before analog or digital, preferably within Automotive/Aeronautics/Industrial/Medical type applications within ECM, Display, Telematics or Sensors space. Server/Telecommunication side only experience is less desirable.
• Debugged complex design related issues
• Debugged electronics with embedded software
• Software development experience, or excellent knowledge of embedded software
• Have thorough understanding and some level of experience of Root Cause Analysis process
• Have led projects, and can manage project plans.
• Have good understanding of the environmental testing e.g. EMC.
• Desirable to have manufacturing process understanding, but not required.
• Multiyear Electrical/Electronic component design and development experience
• Must have design experience in analog, digital, automotive I/O's (injector, on/off and Current drivers) and/or power supply designs.
• Familiarity with OS (WinCE, Linux, etc.)
• Strong functional knowledge of electronic components and circuits including microprocessors, microcontrollers, op-amps, regulators, standard digital logic ICs, and discrete semiconductors (diodes, transistors, FETS, triacs) is required.
• Familiarity with basic electronic test equipment such as DVMs, Oscilloscopes and Power Supplies is required.
• Multiyear years of experience in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design in Mentor or other tool with experience in multi-layer boards is preferred.
• Knowledge of developing C code for embedded devices.
• Good documentation and presentation skills using MS Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint is required. Ability to communicate technical information effectively.
• Knowledge of FMEA s, electrical stress analysis calculations, EMI and EMC PCB layout techniques is preferred.
• Familiar with root cause / troubleshooting techniques for electronic assemblies.
• Familiarity with display and instrument cluster systems highly desirable.

Education Requirement:

• BS in Electrical or Electronics Engineering
