Job Level
Mid-LevelSenior
About the role
- Responsible for design, development, and sustainment of advanced electronic systems integrating smart antennas, automotive Ethernet, radar, lidar, and camera interfaces.
- Develop ruggedized compute platforms capable of running AI algorithms for environmental awareness and vehicle control in extreme conditions.
- Design high-speed, high-reliability PCBs for sensor fusion and compute platforms.
- Integrate wireless communication modules (LTE, 5G, ISM, GNSS, Wi-Fi) and automotive Ethernet PHYs.
- Architect power distribution and thermal management strategies for compute-heavy systems.
- Interface with radar, lidar, and camera modules using automotive-grade protocols (GMSL, FPD-Link, CAN, Ethernet).
- Ensure signal integrity and EMI/EMC compliance in mixed-signal environments.
- Design for IP67 ingress protection, extended temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C), and high-vibration environments; support ISO 16750, CISPR 25, AEC-Q100 testing.
- Lead root cause analysis, validation (HIL, thermal cycling, vibration), and support manufacturing with DFM/DFT practices.
- Collaborate with mechanical, software, and systems engineers from concept through production.
Requirements
