HARDWARE DEVELOPER

Main responsibilities:

• Designs the electronic PCB for Electrical & hybrid Vehicle;
• Draws up the Electronic architecture (Block Diagram) from a Functional specification, considering the safety requirements;
• Draws up the electronic circuit schematics (electric function and component) with design to cost approach. Knowledge of CADENCE is a plus;
• Selects the electronic components according to automotive criteria (AECQ qualification, cost, reliability target);
• Provides design justification: worst case analysis (electronic simulation, thermal, electromagnetic compatibility), FMEA, predictive reliability;
• Builds prototype mock-up to check functionality;
• Writes layout specification for the function in order to respect industrial rules;
• Performs Electronic, thermal and electromagnetic compatibility characterizations of the end product;
• Builds data base with preferential component & suppliers;
• Writes component specification;
• Defines the mission profile, operational modes, reliability target, qualification requirements;
• Follows up the component qualification;
• Carries out supplier audit if necessary, PPAP analysis;
• Manages all serial life modifications due to the obsolescence of the components, PTNs (Product Termination Notifications), PCNs (Product Change Notifications);
• Manages component failure sand risks;
• Develops test bench for electronic product characterization (writes specification, designs and validates test bench);
• Ensures the thermal validation of the product;
• Follows up the environmental validation made by subcontractors.

The ideal candidate:

• Engineer with degree in Electronics;
• Experience in electronics hardware design in automotive or equivalent environment;
• Power electronics (converter structure, electronic automotive components);
• Electronic simulation tools (PSPICE, PSIM, ORCAD/CADENCE);
• Worst case analysis (component drift, temperature drift);
• Thermal basis for electronic design;
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) basis for electronic design (filter sizing, electrostatic discharge (ESD) constraints);
• Knowledge of Electromagnetic compatibility automotive norms& test;
• Knowledge of Electronic equipment (oscilloscope, CAN analyzer, multimeter);
• Industrialization rules (for production) for layout design;
• Language: Advanced level of English is mandatory; French will be a plus;
• International skills: experience in working with foreign teams will be a plus;
• Communication abilities, open minded, open to challenges, team spirit.
