Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer - ECU Requirements & Specifications serves as a technical leader within the engineering team, focusing on the development and management of hardware requirements for Electronic Control Units. The role involves defining low-level software specifications, managing Configuration Technical Requirements Specifications (CTRS), and standardizing I/O interfaces across diverse vehicle platforms and electrical architectures, including electric vehicle designs. You will perform requirement updates, manage traceability between internal and external requirements, and coordinate with various engineering disciplines to ensure seamless hardware and software integration. Key technical competencies include proficiency in microcontrollers, memory technologies, and vehicle serial data communications such as Ethernet, CAN, LIN, SENT, and SERDES. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of semiconductor physics and experience using structured requirement management tools like DOORS, DOORS Next-Gen, Jama, or Polarion to manage complex automotive embedded control systems and functional safety requirements.
Develop and manage hardware requirements and low-level software definitions for ECU Hardware Component Technical Requirements Specifications (CTRS).
Update existing and create new ECU hardware electrical and functional interface definitions including vehicle device interactions.
Support semiconductor and microprocessor functional safety activities to meet specific safety manual use-case implementations.
Standardize I/O interfaces in hardware requirements and drive the commonization of components across various vehicle platforms.
Identify and create embedded controller requirement definitions from diverse internal stakeholders and engineering teams.
Lead weekly requirement review and change control meetings to approve technical work and updates.
Perform CTRS compilation and build activities to support product team sourcing and design change documentation.
Establish and maintain traceability between internal/external requirements and their corresponding verification activities.
What we're looking for
Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or another related engineering field.
DFSS Black Belt Certification.
5+ years of engineering experience in product development, specifications, or related activities.
Deep knowledge and practical use of structured requirement management tools such as DOORS, DOORS Next-Gen, Jama, or Polarion.
High level of competency in writing and comprehending ECU hardware technical requirements with strong oral and written communication skills.
Strong knowledge of microcontrollers, memory technologies, vehicle serial data communications (Ethernet, CAN, LIN, SENT, SERDES), mechatronics, and electrical architectures.
Good knowledge of semiconductor physics, structures, fundamentals, models, and failure mechanisms.
Demonstrated leadership and project management of complex technical projects.
