  • Support display ECU and subsystem bring-up, debugging, and validation.
  • Translate system-level needs into clear hardware requirements, interface definitions, and engineering actions.
  • Work closely with software, systems, validation, packaging, and supplier teams to resolve integration issues efficiently.
  • Review schematics, interface definitions, and hardware design decisions for technical completeness and robustness.
  • Identify design, integration, and validation gaps early and drive corrective actions.
  • Support sourcing, development, and launch activities by providing technical leadership in the display hardware domain.
  • Help improve engineering processes for issue tracking, documentation quality, and diagnostic readiness.

What Success Looks Like:

  • Diagnostic and interface requirements are clear, complete, and actionable.
  • FIDM and related documents are maintained at a level that improves integration efficiency.
  • PRTS issues are resolved with strong technical ownership and disciplined root-cause analysis.
  • Hardware and system issues are identified earlier and closed faster.
  • Cross-functional teams view this role as a key technical anchor for display hardware diagnostics and integration.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • Significant experience in automotive hardware engineering, with direct experience in display or ECU-related development.
  • Strong understanding of hardware interfaces, signal paths, power, and integration considerations for embedded automotive systems.
  • Experience with hardware bring-up, debugging, validation, and root-cause analysis.
  • Experience creating and maintaining interface and technical definition documents.

People Skills:

  • Proven ability to drive issue resolution across multiple teams and suppliers.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a highly cross-functional environment

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • Experience with automotive display systems, display ECUs, or related graphics/HMI hardware.
  • Experience with diagnostic architecture, failure analysis, and serviceability considerations.
  • Familiarity with PRTS-driven issue management and structured engineering problem solving.
