About the role

Responsibilities

  • Design electrical schematics for automotive, off-road, and defense applications, incorporating SoCs/MCUs, power (SMPS, Linear), memory components (eMMC, DDR, NVMe), and peripherals from concept to production
  • Design boards that use high & low speed digital interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB, PCIe, MIPI, DP, ethernet, etc), and automotive interfaces such as LIN, CAN, Flexray. Guide and oversee PCB layout, ensuring it meets DFx standards and adheres to performance, cost, mechanical, thermal, and reliability constraints
  • Create detailed component block diagrams and engage with PCB/PCBA vendors for fabrication and assembly
  • Collaborate with system, firmware, software, and integration teams to ensure successful bring-up and validation of the platform
  • Develop and execute test plans to validate design performance and document results
  • Stay updated on new technologies to ensure solutions remain cutting-edge

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
  • At least 2 years of hands-on hardware design experience with strong grasp of analog and power design, digital design and interfaces, including PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, I2C, SPI, UART
  • Proficiency in schematic capture and layout
  • Skills in lab tools such as bench power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers
  • In-depth understanding of PCB manufacturing, product delivery, and extensive experience in testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in building automotive hardware systems and/or designing and building prototype vehicles
  • Prior experience high-volume production of hardware products
  • Prior experience with building real-time HW systems with safety constraints
  • Prior experience with Altium Designer
  • Experience designing circuits that drive cameras &/or displays
