Staff Hardware Engineer, ECU Requirements & Specifications

What you'll do

• Lead the development, maintenance, and configuration management of ECU hardware electrical and functional interface requirements.
• Establish technical direction for embedded-controller requirements across vehicle architecture, diagnostics, hardware design, and safety.
• Drive the standardization of Input/Output interfaces and promote component commonization and reuse across ECU hardware designs.
• Lead requirements reviews, design-flow execution, and change-control activities to ensure high-quality technical execution.
• Provide technical leadership for CTRS compilation to support product-team sourcing and build-to-print implementation.
• Establish and improve traceability between internal and external requirements and downstream verification and validation activities.
• Identify requirements and design gaps and drive corrective actions for ECU, sub-component, and circuit-level designs.
• Support requirements and specifications for ECU manufacturing, remanufacturing, and plant or service programming implementations.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
• At least 7 years of engineering experience in product development, technical requirements, specifications, embedded controls, or a related technical discipline.
• Demonstrated leadership of complex technical programs or initiatives, including the ability to influence outcomes without direct authority.
• Good knowledge and practical experience with structured requirements-management tools such as DOORS, DOORS Next-Gen, Jama, or Polarion.
• Strong understanding of automotive embedded control systems, including ECU hardware, low-level software interfaces, diagnostics, and electrical or mechatronic architectures.
• Knowledge of microcontrollers, memory technologies, and vehicle serial communications such as Ethernet, CAN, LIN, SENT, and SERDES.
• Knowledge of semiconductor physics, structures, fundamentals, models, and failure mechanisms.
• Master of Science degree in Engineering or a related field (preferred).
