TL;DR · 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 evaluations, trade-off studies, and designing application schematics for ECU development. The engineer will manage component specifications, execute test plans for board bring-up, and perform early validation to ensure design intent. Key technical requirements include proficiency in SoC subsystems like memory, analog, and processor cores, alongside experience with circuit simulation tools like Mentor Graphics, DFMEA, and worst-case analysis. The position requires hands-on experience with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes. The work focuses on the technical challenges of developing central compute units, connectivity modules, and other controllers for Software Defined Vehicle platforms.

What you'll do

  • Conduct technical evaluations and trade-off studies to identify optimal SoCs for automotive applications.
  • Design and manage application schematics for ECU development to ensure high performance and cost-effectiveness.
  • Develop robust component specifications to enable timely sourcing decisions aligned with vehicle program milestones.
  • Establish and execute test plans for SoC evaluation, including board bring-up and early validation.
  • Lead the integration of SoC solutions into next-generation automotive electronics platforms from schematic design through production.
  • Provide technical mentorship to engineering teams throughout the design cycle from architecture definition to sourcing.
  • Define design specifications and align architectural requirements with hardware, software, and supplier teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • 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, requirements-driven studies, benchmarking, and technical trade-off evaluations.
  • Hands-on experience with circuit design, worst-case analysis, DFMEA, and schematic capture tools like Mentor Graphics.
  • Proven experience in silicon bring-up and ECU-level hardware integration and validation.
  • Hands-on experience with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes.
  • Master’s degree or PhD in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field (preferred).
