Description

Perform WCCA for products utilizing engineering principles. Apply best practices, lessons learned and innovative design techniques to achieve a reliable product at a competitive cost. Review circuits schematic and PCB layout implementation using industry standard tools. Strive to simplify the design, make it easy to manufacture, mistake proof, attempt to anticipate areas of large variation and attempt to maximize design robustness. Perform tolerance stack up/worst case circuit analyses (Extreme Value, RMS or Monte Carlo as required). Capture and codify WCCA lessons learned. Perform power integrity (PDN, IRdrop) and signal integrity analysis as required. Generate professional reports and make changes as necessary based on findings. Confer with other engineering team and cross functional team members on a frequent basis to ensure all aspects of the design are coming together seamlessly. Participate in technical design reviews to ensure compliance to design requirements. Define stress test routines required to validate functional sections. Document failure modes and feedback to improve design requirements. Lead the resolution of functional abnormalities observed in module designs. Ensure Ford and industry lessons learned are documented in the associated quality history. Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field of study 5+ years of experience in electronics circuits design, modeling and analysis, preferably in a high reliability industry (automotive, aero-space, medical, etc.) Experience in Electronic Circuit disciplines and processes Experience with circuit analysis software tools, e.g. Mathcad, and simulation tools: Spice, Saber, etc. Experience with vehicle communication protocols CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet 5+ years Experience in specialized complex hardware and embedded software systems Knowledgeable on microprocessors, solid state memory, cameras, displays and sensors Working knowledge of industry standard interfaces (e.g. I2C, SPI, Ethernet, LVDS, DDR, PCI, I2S, A2B, etc.) Experience working with test equipment (e.g. programable power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, logic and network analyzers, temperature chambers, etc.) Proficient in simulation tools for signal integrity and power management circuitry. Experience in specialized complex hardware and embedded software systems. Familiar with automotive reliability requirements, and component selection for automotive electronics. Familiar with automotive EMC requirements and good design practices for EMC robust design. Ability to communicate effectively with business users and engineering professionals (e.g. globally distributed teams, ability to adjust communications appropriately for the audience, work with all levels of management and diverse work groups, etc.) Motivated and self-starter. Collaboration and leadership skills.

Responsibilities

The Design and Release Engineer will perform WCCA for products and review circuit schematics and PCB layouts to ensure reliability and manufacturability. They will also lead the resolution of functional abnormalities and document lessons learned to improve design requirements.
