• Development of automotive electrical parts (Control and Gateway Modules, wire harnesses, starter, alternator, sensors), ADAS, CAN communications, and vehicle subsystems.
• Integration of Propulsion and Platform electrical components and systems into vehicle electrical architecture.
• Automotive parts knowledge for material selection, production processes, test methods, regulations, and component/sub-system design development process.
• Familiarity with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)/American Standard Test Method (ASTM).
• Basic operational skills with CAD/CAM design systems (i.e. Semens NX, TcAE, Capital).
• Familiarity with simulation software and common diagnostic equipment.
• Basic component drawing understanding and GD&T knowledge.
• Familiarity with BOM, FMEA, ECR process, & Root Cause analysis.
• Problem solving skills (5-Why, 8D, Fishbone diagrams).
• Additional knowledge of vehicle electrification (electric, hybrid, ADAS, autonomous) vehicle integration is helpful.

Responsibilities

• Provides apportioned subsystems & components designs (concept to production release).
• Controls all assigned 3D math, including vehicle level component integration designs & detailed drawings, per company criteria, to support the vehicle development process.
