Hybrid: Reporting to a specific location where work needs to be performed / collaboration should happen (regardless this location is within a hub) and without regard to where a candidate lives (some employees may end up hybrid who live more than 50 miles away but where business needs dictate them to be onsite at a specific location three days per week).
- This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to GM Global Technical Center or Mountain View Technical Center three times per week, at minimum.
- This job is eligible for relocation benefits.
About the Role
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 continue to strive to build the best infotainment experience in GM vehicles for our customers, we are building a hardware engineering team that will own the end-to-end design and development of our vehicle displays hardware.
In this role, the Senior Hardware Design Engineer – Display Development will be responsible for the technical design & development of the new display electronics hardware platform for GM’s next generation vehicles. The role requires an experienced professional with a background in automotive ECU architecture, design, and analysis, and a proven ability of successfully launching infotainment hardware into production.
Responsibilities
- Design of LCD/OLED display electrical hardware: from MCU, TCON, SERDES and other 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
- Design and development of the display hardware platform (from concept design to launch) while meeting cost, timing, quality, and safety targets
- Deep understanding of the display backlight unit, FOG to be interfaced with display electrical hardware for final display assembly.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as software, mechanical, and manufacturing, to ensure seamless integration of the electrical design of the display 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
- Electrical schematic design and PCB layout
- Support new IC design/development strategic to new display designs
- Perform/support detailed hardware analysis – worst case analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, etc.
- Execute 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 test plans and protocols to validate designs against requirements.
- Troubleshoot hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions 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 display hardware; ensure lessons learned and best practices are included
- Provide guidance and consultation to Design Release Engineers (DREs)
