Automotive Mechatronic Design & Release Engineer

Ford; Dearborn (MI); Vor Ort; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Ford is seeking an experienced automotive hardware engineer to lead IVI and connectivity mechatronics integration from prototype to vehicle launch. You will drive power/thermal packaging, board/layout decisions, and antenna routing for optimal signal performance.

The role requires strong analytical skills, expertise in MATLAB/LTSpice/Mathcad, and advanced use of CANalyzer/CANoe. You will collaborate across engineering teams to meet safety and EMC standards and manage Tier 1 supplier activities.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of experience in automotive Design and Release (DR) or electronic hardware development.
• Experience with simulation/analysis tools MATLAB, LTSpice, and Mathcad.
• Mechatronic systems including display/touchscreen hardware, haptics, thermal management, and high-speed connector/antenna integration.
• Awareness of cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434), functional safety (ISO 26262) and EMC requirements for connected systems.

Aufgaben

• Support all vehicle prototype builds, product launch, and service issues related to IVI, gateway, and connectivity electronic hardware and mechatronic integration.
• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, including original test cases and custom testing tools for bench and vehicle-level validation.
• Perform circuit simulations, power and thermal studies, and hardware-level analysis using LTSpice and MATLAB to ensure robust electronic design, including thermal management of high-performance SoCs and power stages.
• Lead power performance, thermal management, and packaging of IVI modules, including PCB layout density, enclosure design, EMI shielding, heat dissipation strategy, and power budget management.
• Lead integration of these systems into the vehicle, including module mounting, harness routing, thermal interfaces, and antenna placement for optimal cellular, GNSS, Wi-Fi, and V2X performance.
• Lead the troubleshooting and problem-resolution process using Vector CANalyzer/CANoe and high-speed network analysis tools; collect/analyze data and review schematics.
