  • Develop and validate requirements for hardware components, ensuring quality and reliability.
  • Execute bring-up and debug of hardware designs, including power supplies and network devices.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing partners to ensure successful product build and production launch.
  • Perform detailed hardware analysis, including worst case, thermal, signal integrity, and power integrity.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in electronic hardware design, focusing on propulsion controller hardware and automotive electronics.
  • Strong proficiency in circuit design, schematic creation, PCB layout, signal integrity, power integrity, and power management.
  • Proven ability to launch build-to-print hardware into production successfully.
  • In-depth knowledge of automotive industry standards (ISO 26262, ASIL) and safety-critical design principles.
  • Experience with system-level integration, including interfacing with sensors, processors, and communication protocols.
  • Knowledge of requirements engineering process (FMEA, Preliminary Hazard Analyses) and verification/validation processes.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in controller development, including schematics, PCB layouts, EMC, and power dissipation.
