In this role (Senior Hardware Design Engineer – Aggregator), you will be responsible for Aggregator Hardware Design & Execution and develop and/or improve hardware development process with center of expertise. You will work with cross functional team (Semi conductor, DREs, GM software, PCB layout, Mechanical Engineering, Supplier, Validation) to deliver quality product on time. You'll effectively achieve program milestones by thorough and effective program management.
We are seeking a high performing independent engineer to develop winning execution strategies, oversee solutions, resolve issues, and deliver continuous improvement for Aggregators considering quality, cost, and timing.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities):
- Responsible for Aggregator(s) electrical hardware design.
- Work closely with other teams, such as software engineers, mechanical engineers, and manufacturing teams, to ensure seamless integration of electrical hardware designs into the overall product.
- Lead embedded designs for advanced module architectures.
- Lead new IC design/development strategic to advanced in-vehicle architectures.
- Lead electrical schematic design and PCB layout.
- Assess the feasibility of proposed electrical hardware designs, considering factors such as cost, performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Support next generation designs in digital/analog hardware including Gig+ ethernet, processors, memory, eFuse, FET, HSD/LSD, various semi associated with Aggregators.
- Perform/Review electrical worst case analysis.
- Represent the GM HW team as design expert in the core technologies developed among the team.
- Optimize five-point parametric tests and finalize end of line production tests.
- Lead the process as a build-to-print engineer that also acts as a liaison with the contract house.
- Apply cost effective solutions with improved performance design.
- Lead product development as part of a multi hub engineering organizations based in Detroit and West Coast.
- Refine/optimize requirements with MPG team.
- Maintain Aggregator Hardware Design deliverables e.g., Block Diagram, Schematics, PCB layout, etc.
- Lead Peer Reviews and identify issues (e.g. integration, interfaces, systemic issues).
- Support Engineering Change Request (ECR) of Aggregators.
- Support Assembly Plant issue resolution.
- Provide technical leadership for troubleshooting activities to support PRTS Issue Resolution.
- Support Product Investigations (SFI Process).
- Lead Cost Reduction initiatives.
- Provides guidance and consultation to Design Release Engineers (DREs) in product development team meeting.
- Create and maintain Best Practices.
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally within Aggregator team and across other SMTs.
- Collaborate and strategize with Aggregator TS, Electric Power (Sub)system TS, and Safety.
- Ensure all vehicle Program Imperatives (i.e., piece cost, investment, mass, base engineering content & IPTV) involving these components are met.
- Work with DRE/Validation group to setup a plan for a component validation plan (includes component software verification) and ensure that the plan is executed in time to meet program imperatives.
- Participate in Formal Design, Peer and Quality Valve reviews as required by the Vehicle Development Process (VDP).
- Develop/Review/Approve all In-process Electrical test plans.
- Support vehicle integration activity for pre-production and production vehicles.
- Lead/participate in issue resolution for design and development issues, ECU warranty analysis, parts restriction and report updates as required to Engineering and Vehicle Team leadership.
- Lead/support DFMEA/PFMEA of Aggregator.
