Staff Electronics Design Engineer - Zonal ECU

About the role

As a Staff Electronics Design Engineer focused on Zonal ECU development, you will lead the creation of next‑generation battery‑management and power‑distribution hardware for software‑defined vehicles. You will work in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment that blends electrical engineering expertise with automotive innovation.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the full hardware design lifecycle from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout, validation and production.
• Design, prototype and validate low‑voltage zonal control modules for automotive applications.
• Address power‑electronics challenges such as solid‑state eFUSE design, distributed power management, PMIC design, power sequencing and MCU allocation.
• Ensure signal integrity and interface compatibility across CAN, SPI, Ethernet, and analog/digital I/O.
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, vehicle dynamics, manufacturing, validation and supply‑chain teams.
• Integrate new components (microcontrollers, high‑side drivers, motor drivers) and work with suppliers on custom solutions.
• Apply EMC best practices, conduct root‑cause analysis, troubleshooting and failure investigations on PCB assemblies.
• Support system integration and validation across Proto, EVT, DVT and vehicle‑level testing.
• Maintain compliance with functional‑safety and regulatory standards such as ISO 26262 and FUSA.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 8+ years of electronic hardware design experience, preferably in the automotive industry.
• Strong foundation in EE fundamentals; experience with electromechanical systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with automotive hardware/software development life cycles and Tier‑1 supplier processes.

Required skills

• Schematic capture and PCB layout.
• ECU low‑voltage power‑electronics design.
• eFUSE and PMIC design.
• Power sequencing, sleep‑state management, MCU allocation.
• Signal integrity, CAN, SPI, Ethernet, analog/digital I/O.
• EMC compliance and best practices.
• Root‑cause analysis and troubleshooting of PCB assemblies.
• Functional‑safety standards (ISO 26262, FUSA).
• Component integration and supplier collaboration.
