Workplace Classification:
Hybrid : This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the Warren Tech Center three times per week, at minimum, or other frequency dictated by the business.
The Team:
At General Motors, we are committed to creating a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. Our ADAS Compute hardware team is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge technologies like Super Cruise Hands-Free Automated Driving that enhance vehicle safety, performance, and autonomy.
As we move to in-sourcing hardware design we are building a hardware engineering team that will own the end-to-end design and development of our ADAS Compute hardware.
The Role:
In this role, the Staff Hardware Design Engineer – ADAS Compute will lead and be responsible for the complete technical design & development of the new ADAS Compute hardware platform for GM’s next generation vehicles. The role requires an experienced professional with expertise in automotive ECU architecture, design, and analysis, and a proven ability of successfully launching ADAS Compute hardware into production.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities)
- Lead the architecture and design of ADAS Compute electrical hardware: from SoC/key component selection, schematic capture, worst case analysis, PCB layout, bring-up, debug, signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI), design verification test (environmental and EMC), to manufacturing support and production launch.
- Drive the design and development of the ADAS Compute hardware platform (from concept design to launch) while meeting cost, timing, quality, and safety targets.
- Oversee and guide a team of electrical hardware designers - providing technical direction, assigning tasks, and ensuring the team's productivity and efficiency.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as software, mechanical, and manufacturing, to ensure seamless integration of the electrical design of the ADAS Compute hardware.
- Work closely with contract manufacturing partners to ensure successful product build, from prototype through to mass production, while maintaining quality, cost, and timing targets.
- Lead electrical schematic design and PCB layout.
- Lead new IC design/development strategic to new ADAS Compute designs and architectures.
- Perform/support detailed hardware analysis – worst case analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, etc.
- Lead bring-up of hardware design from power supplies, SoCs, MCUs, SerDes interfaces, network devices, etc.
- Lead design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testing (DFT).
- Drive the validation and testing of hardware components and systems, ensuring high levels of reliability and performance.
- Establish and oversee test plans and protocols to validate designs against requirements.
- Lead activities to analyze test results troubleshoot hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solution to resolve design problems.
- Support manufacturing partners in troubleshooting and resolving any production-related issues that arise during the manufacturing process.
- Conduct design reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure optimal solutions.
- Lead/support DFMEA/PFMEA of ADAS Compute; ensure lessons learned and best practices are included.
- Mentor and provide technical leadership to hardware engineers, offering guidance in hardware design best practices and troubleshooting.
