Job Duties
    • Design, develop, characterize, optimize, validate, release, launch and maintain eCAD data for PCBs.
    • Ensure that schematics, PCB layouts, and manufacturing data comply with Flex-N-Gate standards, electrical performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
    • Ensure end-to-end traceability of layouts to requirements using requirements management tools (e.g., Altium, Polarion ALM, DOORS, Jama).
    • Collaborate with multiple eCAD, CAD and manufacturing engineers globally to create products that meet customers' requirements.
    • Maintain libraries of components, schematics, layouts, symbols, footprints, part attributes and documentation.
    • Develop PCB stack-ups, routing strategies, impedance control, and constraints
    • Generate manufacturing and assembly outputs (Gerbers, ODB++, pick-and-place, BOMs)
    • Manage PCB projects and report to program managers.
    • Provide Electronic support to manufacturing plants and the product engineering teams.
    • Comply with Flex-N-Gate and industry processes such as ASPICE, APQP Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cybersecurity.
    • Communicate and interface with OEM and suppliers.
    • Review OEM specifications and integrate customer requirements into eCAD.
    • Support system verification and validation planning (DVP&R), DFMEA contributions, and compliance reviews.
    • Provide technical support during development, launch, and production for issues related to electronic system behavior, requirements interpretation, and change management.
    • Maintain knowledge of automotive electronics technologies, communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, hardwire I/O), and regulatory requirements.
    • Create and present technical information to other engineers and OEM customers through design reviews, technical discussions, and formal documentation.
    • Required
      • Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
      • Experience with eCAD in automotive electronics or similar complex systems.
      • Working knowledge of ASPICE system development processes and experience applying them to real projects.
      • Familiarity with ISO 26262 Functional Safety concepts at the hardware interface level.
      • Understanding of design rules for automotive communication networks (CAN, CAN FD, LIN), hardwire-based system interfaces and EMC.
      • Experience contributing to system design activities such as electronics design reviews, DFMEA, DVP&R, architecture development, or system validation.
      • Strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills; ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.

      Preferred
      • Master's degree in a related engineering discipline.
      • 5-10+ years' experience in electronics design.
      • Hands-on experience using Polarion ALM, DOORS, or similar requirements management platforms.
      • Automotive electronics experience related to lighting, controllers, wiring harnesses, sensors or actuators.
      • Background in electronic system modeling, simulation, or analysis tools (e.g., PSpice, MathCAD, Altium, Ansys).
      • Exposure to EMC and Environmental requirements, thermal considerations and design-for-manufacturability principles.
      • Certification in PCB: IPC CID, PCE or equivalent. EMC/SI/PI Advanced Training Certification.
      • Knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-7351, IPC-610, etc.)
