JOB DESCRIPTION:
Position Summary:
This position is for an electrical engineer role in the Advanced Engineering group situated in Monterrey Mexico. Responsibilities include rapid prototyping of customized hardware to support development of novel feature/functions in the commercial vehicle environment. These systems will be used in HIL settings for development, and on-vehicle installations for performance and evaluation.
Essential Functions:
- Work as part of a team to define overall system architecture and necessary functions.
- Schematic circuit design of ECUs with all necessary analog/digital I/O interfaces to meet electrical, dynamics, environmental, and EMC operating conditions.
- Conduct or coordinate related PCB layout, as well as ECU enclosure design and fabrication.
- System/wiring design to incorporate all ECUs, and implementation of the system into a HIL environment for bench testing.
- Conduct necessary verification of systems to ensure proper communications and sub-system interaction in HIL and on-vehicle environments.
- Design/build/test necessary interface boards for flexible system re-configuration and low-noise signal access by hardware tools such as dSPACE MicroAutoBox.
- Develop low-level software modules for basic functionality.
- Capture, analyze, confirm signals and messaging for proper hardware operation using troubleshooting tools, such as: logic analyzer, oscilloscope, network analyzer (e.g. Vector CANalyzer).
Knowledge:
- Electrical design of standalone ECUs in an Automotive or Commercial Vehicle environment.
- Understanding of Automotive and Heavy Duty Vehicles recommended practices, such as the SAE J1455 and J1113.
- Electronics circuit design (analog and digital) in embedded standalone ECUs.
- Troubleshooting of circuit operation in a rapid prototype setting, where robust operation and quick turnaround is a must.
- Ability to quickly determine root cause for any issues in a HIL environment.
- Knowledge of on-vehicle communications network protocols, such as SAE J1939 CAN.
- Ability to perform signal and network analysis to ensure proper subsystem interaction via hardware I/O as well as network communications.
- Knowledge of air-brake systems a plus.
- Data acquisition & control, test equipment & instrumentation, test standards & procedure development.
- Able to evaluate HIL and vehicle test data and create valid, actionable conclusions.
- Confident with technical presentations to internal and external customers.
Experience:
- Demonstrated embedded electric control units, electronic hardware design, schematic and routing design, coordination of sample manufacturing, assembly support.
- Prior experience in rapid prototyping tools, such as dSPACE AutoBox preferred.
- Demonstrated low-level (e.g. C) software implementation in standalone ECU basic testing preferred.
- HIL simulator-based testing preferred.
- Experience with BEV, hybrid-electric vehicle architectures a plus.
- Experience with power electronics for high-voltage 3-phase inverters, motor design, and control a plus.
Skills:
- Proficient in schematic entry and PCB layout tools.
- Proficient in vehicle communications tools, such as SAE J1939 CAN.
- Matlab, Simulink, Trucksim/Carsim type tools a plus.
- Has good knowledge transfer skills to ensure team focus and effectiveness.
Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering required
- Engineer 3: 6+ years related experience with bachelor’s degree or 5+ years related experience with master’s degree.
- Engineer 4: 8+ years related experience with bachelor’s degree or 6+ years related experience with master’s degree.
Position Requirements:
The demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
