Specialist - Electronics

Overview

Technical specialist to advance the Vehicle Control and Wireless Controls portfolio, lead critical product-development programs, and build electronics and embedded-control capability across the global LVPC engineering organization.

What you'll do

• Own and evolve system and electronics architectures for multiplexed switches, keypads, rotary controls, transmitters, receivers, I/O modules and remote-control systems.
• Provide technical leadership in analog and digital electronics, microcontroller-based designs, power supplies, signal conditioning, communications interfaces, schematic design, PCB layout reviews, component selection, EMC, reliability and manufacturability.
• Guide RF and wireless-system design, including transceiver and antenna selection, link-budget and coexistence analysis, interference mitigation, range, latency, regulatory compliance and security.
• Lead embedded hardware–software integration for CAN, J1939, LIN and related protocols, including diagnostics, bootloaders, calibration, fault handling and HMI/GUI features.
• Translate voice-of-customer, use cases and regulatory expectations into requirements, interfaces, architecture decisions, specifications, traceability and verification plans.
• Lead technical project execution and design reviews from concept through production launch, balancing performance, safety, cybersecurity, reliability, cost, schedule and serviceability.
• Define technology roadmaps covering platform modularity, standard communication stacks, next-generation MCU/RF architectures, advanced HMI, sensing, geofencing, obsolescence mitigation and product refresh.
• Establish verification strategies for functional, environmental, EMC/EMI, RF, communication, safety, cybersecurity, reliability and vehicle-level validation.
• Lead resolution of complex design, manufacturing, supplier, warranty and field issues using 8D, FRACAS, RedX, fault-tree analysis, FMEA and data-driven root-cause methods.
• Act as technical project leader for critical NPIs and mentor global engineers in electronics, systems, RF/wireless, embedded controls, design reviews and engineering standards.
• Partner with product strategy and business leaders to convert market needs into executable technology roadmaps, platform plans and engineering capability priorities.
• Engage OEM customers, application engineers and plants during RFQ, requirements clarification, integration, launch, field support and technical escalation.
• Drive design reuse, modular architectures, VAVE, component standardization, design-for-manufacturing/test and lifecycle strategies.
• Champion PROLaunch, Design for Six Sigma, requirements management, configuration control, cybersecurity and functional-safety processes.
• Build capability through coaching, reusable design guidelines, technical reviews, lessons learned, standards deployment and global collaboration.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Communication, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline.
• Typically 12+ years of product-development experience in automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, industrial controls or a Tier-1 environment, with demonstrated technical leadership across global teams.
• Deep expertise in embedded electronic product design: analog/digital circuits, microcontrollers, power supplies, communication interfaces, schematics, PCB reviews, component engineering, EMC, reliability, test and manufacturing.
• Strong embedded firmware and hardware–software integration knowledge, including real-time control, diagnostics, bootloaders, failure handling, configuration management and debugging.
• Proficiency with CAN, SAE J1939 and LIN.
• Working expertise in RF/wireless design: transceivers, antennas, link budgets, coexistence, interference mitigation, range/latency optimization and regulatory certification.
• Experience with rugged operator controls such as switches, keypads, rotary controls, HMI/display products, transmitters, receivers, remote controls or mobile-machine I/O modules.
• Systems engineering capability in requirements, architecture, interfaces, trade studies, FMEA, verification, traceability and product-level validation.
• Knowledge of ISO 26262, Automotive SPICE, ISO/SAE 21434, EMC/EMI, environmental qualification and relevant radio regulations.
• Demonstrated delivery of complex NPI or product-refresh programs from concept through production.
• Strong structured problem solving using 8D, FRACAS, RedX, fault-tree analysis, DFMEA/PFMEA and statistical methods.

Nice to have

• Master's degree.
• UDS, Ethernet or other vehicle/industrial protocols.
