Job duties: Utilizing electrical engineering technical knowledge and experience to provide guidance to direct report electrical engineers ensuring the quality of their development work
products/engineering analyses and customer deliverables vs the project milestones. Ensure the technical development adheres to the ZF development process and milestone gate reviews. Provide technical guidance as necessary for problem resolution, to ensure correct actions are being taken in a timely manner to resolve design, validation, and/or customer return failure analysis. Support System and SW architecture project reviews with respect to HW design interfaces. Support sales during new business acquisition activities developing the BOM and ED&D estimates and generate quote technical guidance summary for the cross functional organization to assist in their inputs to the business case. Set Electrical HW annual
goals/Continuous Improvement/Efficiency Initiatives. Review and/or approve electrical engineering designs. Lead and support new Camera and ECU design. Technical expert supporting WCCA (worst case circuit analysis) scope/coverage and reviews. Technical expert supporting HW detail design document scope/coverage and reviews. Technical expert supporting HW / SW interface documentation scope/coverage and reviews. Technical expert providing guidance to direct reports for design reviews and troubleshooting (schematics, WCCA, circuit debugging, and customer support). Support DFMEA and DPV&R. Act as the technical owner for camera/ECU electrical topics/problem resolution champion for electrical issues. Ensure technical issues and support requirements are driven to resolution, identify technical issues and mitigate risk. Apply in depth understanding of hardware development and best practices in development, testing (including EMC), analysis, and design tools, associated standards (IEEE, etc.), ISO26262, and ASPICE. Collaborate and support core design with R&D centers around the world. Responsible for direct report employee development, ongoing performance discussions when necessary and annual performance reviews. A hybrid (in-office and telecommute) work schedule is available. Minimum requirements: Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering or closely related field plus 5 years of experience as an Electronic Design Engineer within the automotive industry. 2 of the 5 years must include experience managing technical engineers and demonstrated experience with: Developing embedded microcontrollers or system on chip controlled electronic modules; Developing electronic control units from concept to production; Cross-functional collaboration with Software, Algorithm, Test and System Requirements for Hardware development; Electronic assembly production processes, including Solder paste screen printing, high speed component placement, solder reflow, (ICT) In Circuit PCB assembly test, final functional test methods and DFM; Structured problem-solving techniques, including Is/Is Not, Fishbone Diagrams, 3x5 Why, and 8D; Performing Worst Case Circuit Analysis using Mathcad; Schematics and Printed Circuit Board Layout/Design tools and techniques including Xpedition, Zuken or Cadence; DFMEA generation, using IQRM, and Ansys Medini Analyze; Electronic circuit simulation, including PSpice, LTSpice, and SIMetrix; EMC, design rules, testing and troubleshooting; requirements definition and their management tools, including DOORS and Codebeamer; and Automotive functional safety (ISO 26262) requirements and related work products for electronic hardware designs, including Random Hardware Fault Metric, Hardware Dependent Failure Analysis, Hardware Fault Tree Analysis, and Hardware Electronic Component Qualification Report.
