Job Description

Model and maintain the vehicles electrical architecture and logical connectivity using Zuken.

Author RFI/RFP packages to evaluate Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers for Autonomous Driving computing platforms and perception sensors.

Drive the electrical and logical integration of off-the-shelf sensors and AD computes into the vehicle platform.

Manage signal integrity and channel budgets for high-speed camera networks (GMSL/FPD-Link) over coaxial/STP cabling.

Design multi-gigabit Automotive Ethernet networks connecting off-the-shelf sensors and compute modules.

Formulate and validate vehicle-wide time synchronization protocols (IEEE 802.1AS / gPTP) across all autonomous driving nodes.

Architect redundant fail-operational power distribution networks for safety-critical autonomous driving actuators.

Enforce system-level EMI/EMC mitigation and review supplier compliance reports to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.

Synthesize supplier safety cases into the vehicle-level ISO 26262 functional safety framework.

Define hardware-level diagnostic mechanisms to monitor component health and trigger safe-stop fallback strategies.

Collaborate with mechanical packaging teams to define sensor placement fields-of-view (FOV) and vehicle calibration strategies.

Lead the root-cause investigation of complex intermittent electrical failures and sensor dropouts identified during fleet testing.

Audit supplier-provided schematics and hardware designs to identify architectural shortcomings boundary-case vulnerabilities or non-compliance with vehicle requirements.

Architect the vehicles logical network topology including defining static IP assignment schemes subnet routing paths and network switch configurations.

Design and document end-to-end network traffic paths mapping individual sensor data streams (e.g. LiDAR UDP packets ROS messages) to target compute nodes and subnets.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

8 years of experience in automotive E/E architecture design or vehicle-level electrical systems engineering with a focus on ground-up vehicle development.

Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics or a related technical discipline.

Proven proficiency utilizing E/E architecture tools such as Zuken () or Siemens Capital (or equivalent system modeling software).

Technical understanding of high-speed serializer/deserializer protocols (e.g. GMSL2/3 FPD-Link III/IV) and Multi-Gigabit Automotive Ethernet.

Strong working knowledge of standard in-vehicle networks including CAN FD LIN and PCIe along with network debugging tools.

Demonstrated experience reviewing supplier hardware specifications conducting circuit analysis and assessing off-the-shelf component compatibility.

Familiarity with component and system-level electromagnetic compatibility testing and validation standards (e.g. CISPR 25 ISO 11452).

Practical understanding of ISO 26262 functional safety concepts up to ASIL-D and automotive cybersecurity principles.

Experience designing or integrating redundant low-voltage power distribution networks (12V/24V) and smart electronic fusing architectures.

Proven capability to critically analyze third-party electrical schematics PCB layouts and block diagrams to enforce design robustness.
