Descrição da oferta de emprego

Forvia, a sustainable mobility technology leader

We pioneer technology for mobility experience that matter to people.

Your mission, roles and responsibilities

Within the innovation team focused on automotive seat systems, you will contribute to the development and optimization of sensor systems integrated into automotive seats. Your main mission will be to specify, design, validate, and integrate high-performance and robust sensor solutions.

The main missions of the role are:

• Define system-level requirements for sensor subsystems (selection, architecture, performance evaluation).
• Master capacitive sensor technology, characterize and simulate capacitive sensor at the sensor system level
• Design, prototype, and evaluate sensor systems, including electronics, mechanics, signal conditioning, and calibration.
• Perform testing, characterization, and validation (environmental, stress, and reliability testing).
• Interface with sensor suppliers to evaluate components, monitor roadmaps, and ensure system integration.
• Collaborate with software, signal processing, and embedded systems teams for data integration and sensor fusion.
• Conduct technology scouting and maintain awareness of emerging sensor technologies (optical, MEMS, radar, capacitive, resistive etc.).
• Write technical documentation: specifications, test reports, and integration guidelines.
• Support industrialization or transfer-to-manufacturing phases for integrated sensor solutions.
• Contribute to innovation and continuous improvement of sensor system

Your profile and competencies to succeed

• Master’s degree or Engineering degree in electronics, physics, instrumentation, microelectronics, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in sensor design or system integration.
• Ideally hands-on experience with sensor characterization, qualification, and validation.
• Familiarity with supplier interaction and cross-functional system development.
• Solid understanding of analog/mixed-signal electronics (low signal, conditioning, amplifiers, filters).
• Knowledge of sensor technologies such as resistive (FSR) and resistive (Peizo).
• Proficiency in lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, analyzers, test benches).
• Programming skills in C/C++, Python, MATLAB or and embedded would be a real plus.
• Experience in developing and implementing algorithms for signal processing, calibration, sensor fusion, and data filtering.
• Awareness of system constraints (power, noise, thermal, mechanical integration).
• Team leader spirit, able to network
• International mindset
• Capacity to work in matrix organization
• Fluent english, minimum B2, ideally C1
