The Hardware Engineer - ECU Requirements & Specifications joins the team to lead the development and management of hardware requirements and low-level software definitions for ECU Hardware Component Technical Requirements Specifications. This role involves performing technical updates for existing and new ECU hardware electrical and functional interface definitions, including interactions with vehicle electronic devices. You will standardize I/O interfaces, drive component commonization, and manage CTRS compilation for various build-to-spec and build-to-print designs across diverse vehicle platforms and electrical architectures, including electrification. Key responsibilities include identifying embedded controller requirements, ensuring traceability, and supporting semiconductor functional safety activities. Required skills include knowledge of microcontrollers, memory technologies, vehicle serial data communications like Ethernet, CAN, LIN, SENT, and SERDES, as well as semiconductor physics and automotive product design cycles.

What you'll do

  • Develop and manage hardware requirements and low-level software definitions for ECU Hardware Component Technical Requirements Specifications (CTRS).
  • Perform technical updates for existing and new ECU hardware electrical and functional interface definitions.
  • Support semiconductor and microprocessor functional safety activities by developing requirements for safety manual use-case implementations.
  • Standardize I/O interfaces and drive the commonization of components into ECU hardware designs.
  • Identify and create new embedded controller requirement definitions from various internal and external stakeholders.
  • Lead weekly requirement review and change control meetings to approve technical work and requirement updates.
  • Perform CTRS compilation and build activities to support product team sourcing and design change documentation.
  • Implement mechanisms for traceability between internal/external CTRS requirements and their corresponding verification activities.

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of engineering experience in product development, specifications, or related activity.
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Physics, Computer Science, or a related Engineering field.
  • Competency in writing and comprehending ECU hardware technical requirements with strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Knowledge of microcontrollers, memory technologies, vehicle serial data communications (Ethernet, CAN, LIN, SENT, SERDES), mechatronics, and electrical architectures.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor physics, structures, fundamentals, models, and failure mechanisms.
  • Knowledge of GM product design and development cycles with experience in automotive product release and specification processes.
  • Demonstrated leadership and project management of complex technical projects.
  • Experience with technical requirement capture and management tool(s).
