TL;DR · Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer, SoC

Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer – SoC The Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer – SoC joins the Semiconductor Engineering team to lead the evaluation and integration of state-of-the-art System-on-Chip solutions into next-generation automotive electronics platforms. This role involves conducting technical trade-off studies, designing application schematics for ECU development, and managing component specifications to ensure high-performance, cost-effective results. The engineer will collaborate with internal teams and silicon vendors to manage the lifecycle from architecture definition through board bring-up and early validation. Key technical requirements include proficiency in circuit design, worst-case analysis, DFMEA, and schematic capture tools like Mentor Graphics. Candidates must possess expertise in SoC subsystems such as memory, processor cores, and interconnects, alongside experience with hardware debugging tools like oscilloscopes. The role addresses the critical challenge of developing central compute units and connectivity modules for Software Defined Vehicle platforms.

What you'll do

  • Conduct technical evaluations and trade-off studies on SoCs to identify optimal components for automotive applications.
  • Design and manage application schematics centered around SoCs for ECU development.
  • Develop robust component specifications to facilitate timely sourcing decisions aligned with vehicle program milestones.
  • Execute test plans for board bring-up and early validation of silicon devices to ensure design intent.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineering teams throughout the design cycle and selection process.
  • Analyze SoC capabilities and influence selection decisions in collaboration with internal teams and silicon vendors.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • Master's degree or PhD in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field (preferred).
  • 7+ years of experience in hardware design and development with significant system-level ownership.
  • Knowledge of SoC subsystems and IP blocks including memory, analog, processor cores, interconnects, and peripherals.
  • Proficiency in SoC analysis, selection, benchmarking, and technical trade-off evaluations.
  • Experience with circuit design tools, worst case analysis, DFMEA, and schematic capture tools like Mentor Graphics.
  • Experience in silicon bring up, ECU level hardware integration, and validation using tools such as oscilloscopes.
  • Experience with Wireless Connectivity SoCs and related technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Cellular (preferred).
