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.
