Zonal ECU Design

Role:

Own the end-to-end design and release of zonal ECUs, from concept through production launch.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including other engineering disciplines (e.g., Body, Drive, Energy), electrical architecture, software, validation, manufacturing, and suppliers.

Define and manage hardware requirements, including power distribution, thermal management, and signal integrity.

Drive ECU design reviews, DFMEAs, and validation plans.

Ensure compliance with automotive standards (e.g., ISO 26262, EMC, ESD).

Manage technical deliverables to deliver components and systems that meet cost, timing, and quality targets aligned with program milestones.

Support build events, issue resolution, and change management throughout the product lifecycle.

Proactively stay attuned to consumer experience and propose system improvements accordingly.

Contribute to the design of production facilities for client trucks & SUVs. .

Skill:

10+ years of experience in ECU hardware development and release.

Demonstrated success in launching critical ECUs into production (e.g., body electrical, powertrain, battery, drive unit, and/or power distribution).

Strong understanding of automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet, Flexray).

Experience with relevant automotive assignments covering all phases of product development (design, test, and launch).

Experience with PCB design, component selection, thermal / power analysis, and ECU manufacturing.

Strong technical skills and expertise in ECU development and release employing a six-sigma approach to engineering design and problem-solving.
