The role includes coordinating stress analysis, thermal simulations, and using DFMEA/DFSS processes to ensure the quality and reliability of electronic components and assemblies.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop IPC-compliant CCAs for controller assemblies, motor position sensors, and torque/position sensors.
• Design application-specific connectors and wire harnesses.
• Create and maintain product drawings, specifications, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
• Coordinate mechanical stress analysis (FEA) and component testing for CCAs.
• Conduct thermal Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for electrical components and assemblies, including testing.
• Use DFMEA and DFSS processes to ensure quality at both component and system levels.
• Perform ECU failure analysis to identify root causes and provide recommendations for corrective actions.

Core Responsibilities

• Support system-level integration of CCAs into overall product architecture.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for continuous improvement activities and aligning design with system requirements.
• Ensure component and system testing aligns with quality and performance metrics.
• Communicate technical issues and project status across teams.

Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, Electrical, or Electronics Engineering.

Experience

• 10+ years of experience in CCA or related component design and manufacturing processes.
• Experience with powerpack design and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with thermal and mechanical stress analysis techniques.
• Strong knowledge of DFMEA and DFSS methodologies.

Required Skills

• Problem-solving skills, particularly with Six Sigma methodologies.
• Strong analytical abilities to handle complex and unusual problems.
• Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with teams.
• Knowledge of CCA and PCB design, manufacturing processes, and materials.
• Experience in virtual engineering and stress simulation techniques.

Preferred Skills

• Strong technical communication abilities.
• Experience with power electronics and system-level design.
• Familiarity with automotive ECU failure analysis processes and tools.
