Lead Hardware Circuit Design Engineer

Our client, a developer of commercially-viable electric vehicles, is looking for a Lead Hardware Circuit Design Engineer to work on the development of HMI systems and subsystems for prototype and production vehicles. In this position, you'll take ownership of projects through the full development life-cycle. This includes guiding/mentoring other engineers on the team as an "in the trenches" leader.

This company is working on next generation EV technology, standing on firmer ground than its competitors.

Responsibilities of the Lead Hardware Design Engineer

Technically lead a group of hardware electronic engineers
Support senior leadership in meeting aggressive company goals
Lead the documentation, hardware design, implementation and support of automotive products for vehicle applications.
Assist in architecting new solutions for future products.
Work with other groups to support company initiatives.
Design complex high speed digital and analog electronic control boards for vehicle Human Machine Interface systems
Design various analog, digital, mixed signal and microprocessor-based boards to meet automotive standards
Provide CAD layout guidance in areas such as high-speed gigabit transceivers, high-bandwidth digital (Video, DDR, RGMII, etc.), mixed signal and RF interfaces
Collaborate with various internal and external cross functional teams – purchasing, SW/FW/HW/ME Eng., CAD, PMs, suppliers (module, semiconductor, etc.), integrators and CMs.
Create test plans and document test results to verify hardware functions as desired
Use lab equipment to perform board bring up and debug
Perform DFMEA and FIT calculations to ensure designs properly mitigate unacceptable risk
