TL;DR · Senior Hardware Engineer, Propulsion Controller

As a Senior Hardware Design Engineer at GM’s Mechatronics Hardware platform, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to advancing the next generation of vehicles. Your primary responsibilities include designing and developing propulsion controller hardware from concept through production launch, ensuring compliance with cost, timing, quality, and safety targets. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams such as software, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing to integrate electrical designs seamlessly. Key tasks involve schematic design, PCB layout, signal integrity analysis, and supporting contract manufacturers in troubleshooting and resolving issues during the build process. Proficiency in tools like Mentor Graphics for schematics and layout, Ansys for signal integrity, and Simplis for power integrity is essential. Additionally, you must have a strong background in automotive ECU architecture and experience with industry standards such as ISO 26262 and ASIL.

What you'll do

  • Design propulsion controller electrical hardware from concept to production launch.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams for seamless integration and quality assurance.
  • Execute bring-up of hardware design, including power supplies and network devices.
  • Lead design for manufacturing (DFM), assembly (DFA), and testing (DFT).
  • Troubleshoot hardware issues and develop solutions for production-related problems.

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 successfully launch build-to-print hardware into production.
  • 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), verification, and validation processes.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in controller development process, including schematics, PCB layouts, EMC, and power dissipation.
