What you'll do

• Lead electronics and embedded-control development for Vehicle Control products, including multiplexed switches, keypads, rotary controls, operator-control modules, and vehicle I/O modules.
• Develop and review analog and digital circuits, microcontroller-based designs, power supplies, signal conditioning, communication interfaces, schematics, PCB layouts, component selection, and design-for-manufacturing/test.
• Lead hardware–software integration for CAN, SAE J1939, LIN, diagnostics, bootloaders, calibration, fault handling, and HMI features.
• Translate customer needs and vehicle use cases into product requirements, interfaces, specifications, traceability, and verification plans.
• Coordinate project-level technical deliverables from concept and prototyping through verification, qualification, production launch, and lifecycle support.
• Lead design reviews and resolve complex design, manufacturing, supplier, warranty, and field issues using structured problem-solving methods.
• Ensure designs meet performance, EMC/EMI, environmental, reliability, functional-safety, cybersecurity, cost, and schedule requirements.
• Evaluate design alternatives and drive reuse, component standardization, VAVE, obsolescence mitigation, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with global product teams, application engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, suppliers, and OEM customers.
• Mentor engineers and strengthen Vehicle Control electronics and embedded-product development capability.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
• 12+ years with a bachelor's degree or 8+ years with a master's degree in automotive, commercial-vehicle, off-highway, industrial-control, or Tier-1 product development, including technical leadership experience.
• Strong experience in Vehicle Control products such as multiplexed switches, keypads, rotary controls, operator-control modules, HMI products, or vehicle I/O modules.
• Expertise in embedded electronic product design, including analog and digital circuits, microcontrollers, power supplies, communication interfaces, schematics, PCB reviews, component engineering, EMC, reliability, testing, and manufacturing.
• Strong hardware–software integration knowledge, including real-time control, diagnostics, bootloaders, failure handling, configuration management, and debugging.
• Proficiency with CAN, SAE J1939, and LIN.
• Experience in end-to-end new product development from requirements and architecture through design, verification, qualification, launch, and lifecycle support.
• Systems-engineering capability in requirements, interfaces, trade studies, FMEA, verification, traceability, and product-level validation.
• Knowledge of ISO 26262 functional safety, ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity, Automotive SPICE, EMC/EMI, and environmental qualification requirements.
• Strong structured problem-solving skills using 8D, FRACAS, fault-tree analysis, DFMEA/PFMEA, and statistical methods.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and technical reviews across global cross-functional teams.
• Visible technical leadership and sound engineering decision-making.
• Ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority and mentor engineers.
• Clear written and verbal communication with customers, management, and global stakeholders.
• Strong customer focus, collaboration, ownership, strategic thinking, and results orientation.
