Descrizione del lavoro

Overview

We are seeking a Hardware Engineer to take ownership of the full product lifecycle—from concept through validation—ensuring compliance with automotive standards, as well as high reliability and performance. This is a newly created position in a rapidly growing and innovative market, offering the opportunity to work on projects involving completely new technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles. The role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams to develop forward-thinking solutions for next-generation mobility. Key responsibilities include the design and development of high-voltage BLDC motor controllers for automotive cooling fan applications.

Your Responsibilities

• Develop high-voltage BLDC motor controllers, including schematic capture, PCB layout, and component selection (MOSFETs, IGBTs, gate drivers, capacitors)
• Optimize designs for efficiency, thermal management, and EMI/EMC compliance
• Run simulations to assess circuit behaviour and thermal performance (SPICE, MATLAB / Simulink)
• Lead the activities for building samples and prototypes before the start of serial production; define testing requirements to validate the prototype
• Prototype testing using oscilloscopes, power analysers, and environmental chambers
• Conduct EMI/EMC testing and troubleshoot issues
• Validate designs according to automotive standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q100/101)
• Produce final documentation for PCBA production (BOM - schematic - Gerber file - component specification)
• Collaborate with our international team of engineers

Your Profile

• BSc or MSc degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering or related
• Ideally more than 3 years of relevant experience in automotive industry
• Previous working experience with High Voltage power electronics (specifically automotive BLDC motor controllers) is mandatory
• Relevant knowledge in areas of automotive communication protocols, DVP&R processes and automotive standards
• Proficiency in Altium Designer, Cadence and simulation tools (LTSPICE, MATLAB)
• Good English language skills are mandatory; French or German would be advantage
• Teamwork oriented and able to utilize his skills in a multicultural environment
• Prominent professional curiosity and willingness to learn
• Open to occasionally travel across European and Asian locations

What we offer

• A key role in a new and innovative EV project
• Exposure to cutting-edge technologies and global collaboration
