Lead ADAS Hardware Engineer — Remote

Cherry Bekaert LLP; Grand Rapids (MI); Remote; USD 120,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Cherry Bekaert LLP in Grand Rapids, MI is seeking a Lead Hardware Engineer to own electrical architecture for ADAS calibration equipment, bridging electrical, mechanical, embedded controls and manufacturing.

This remote role allows global collaboration with quarterly travel; you will specify embedded controls, write utilities in Python/C/C++, guide mechanical enclosures, support pilot builds, and drive DFMA early.

Qualifications

• 6+ years developing electromechanical products with hands‑on electrical and mechanical responsibility.
• Experience delivering a physical product from requirements through production and field support.
• Hands‑on bench skills: schematic/board review, harness fabrication, soldering, and debugging with test equipment.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD with GD&T and tolerance analysis.
• Ability to work with suppliers, pilot builds, and production ramp.

Responsibilities

• Own the electrical architecture (boards, harnesses, power distribution, batteries, and sensor interfaces) from schematic review through bench bring-up and failure diagnosis.
• Specify and troubleshoot embedded/PC-based controls and sensor data-acquisition systems (CAN, USB, I²C/SPI, RS-232/485); write the Python/C/C++ utilities the job needs.
• Guide the mechanical design of enclosures, mounts, and fixtures, and own the alignment tolerances that determine whether a calibration is accurate.
• Apply DFM/DFA early, support pilot builds and production ramp, and partner directly with fabricators, molders, and contract manufacturers.
• Root-cause field and manufacturing failures and feed what you learn back into the design.
• Help stand up the hardware-development function itself — standards, supplier relationships, and eventually the team around you.
