Electrical Engineer
Designs electrical schematics and PCBs for compute hardware in electric and autonomous vehicles, incorporating SoCs, power systems, and automotive interfaces like CAN and PCIe. Requires BS/MS in EE/CE and 2+ years hands-on hardware experience with digital/analog design and lab validation.
About the job
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
