Job description

Position Overview

We are seeking a proactive Design & Release Engineer (DRE) specializing in Electrical & Electronic Hardware Devices (EEHD) to lead the full product lifecycle management of advanced automotive electronic components and modules.

In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, development, integration, validation, and production release of electrical components across multi-platform vehicle programs. You will serve as the technical single-point-of-contact, collaborating cross-functionally with systems architecture, software engineering, purchasing, quality, manufacturing plants, and tier-1 suppliers to deliver robust, cost-effective, and high-quality electronic systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Component Design & Ownership: Lead the complete engineering design and release lifecycle for electronic hardware devices (e.g., body control modules, smart switches, power distribution units, electronic actuators, or sensor modules) from concept kick-off through Mass Production (SOP).

• Engineering Release Management: Manage release workflows, engineering change requests (ECR/ECO), Bill of Materials (BOM) structuring, geometric packaging, and technical documentation within PLM systems (e.g., Enovia/Teamcenter).

• Validation & Testing (DVP&R): Formulate and execute comprehensive Design Verification Plans & Reports (DVP&R), including Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Environmental, Thermal, Mechanical, and Electrical Reliability testing.

• Supplier Management & Technical Leadership: Conduct technical design reviews with Tier-1 suppliers, managing component timeline metrics, supplier deliverables, tool timing, and component sign-offs.

• Root Cause & Issue Resolution: Analyze hardware failures and warranty issues using structured problem-solving methodologies (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa/Fishbone) to implement robust corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

• Manufacturing & Plant Support: Provide direct engineering support to assembly operations during prototype builds, pre-series runs, and mass production ramps.

• Quality & Cost Optimization: Perform Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and functional safety assessments (ISO 26262), driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) continuous improvements.
