Senior Hardware Design Engineer - Central Compute Job at General Motors in Milfo

Hybrid. This role is categorized as hybrid. The successful candidate is expected to report to Warren or Milford, Michigan three times per week, at minimum.

The Role

At General Motors, we are committed to creating a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. Our Central Compute hardware team is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge technologies like premium In-Vehicle Infotainment display and audio features, Mechatronics control of the entire vehicle, radio and Bluetooth connectivity, and Super Cruise Hands-Free Automated Driving that enhance vehicle safety, performance, and autonomy.

As we move to insourcing hardware design, we are building a hardware engineering team that will own the end-to-end design and development of our Central Compute hardware.

In this role, the Senior Hardware Design Engineer – Central Compute will be responsible for the technical design and development of the new Central Compute hardware platform for GM’s next-generation vehicles. The role requires an experienced professional with a background in automotive ECU architecture, design, and analysis, and a proven ability to successfully launch Compute hardware into production.

What You'll Do

• Design of Compute electrical hardware: from SoC/key component selection, schematic capture, worst case analysis, PCB layout, bring-up, debug, signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI), design verification test (environmental and EMC), to manufacturing support and production launch.
• Design and develop a Compute hardware platform from concept design to launch, meeting cost, timing, quality, and safety targets.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as software, mechanical, and manufacturing, to ensure seamless integration of the electrical design of the Central Compute hardware.
• Work closely with contract manufacturing partners to ensure successful product build, from prototype through to mass production, while maintaining quality, cost, and timing targets.
• Perform electrical schematic design and PCB layout in Mentor Graphics.
• Support new IC design and development strategies for new ADAS Compute designs and architectures.
• Conduct detailed hardware analysis – worst case analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, etc.
• Execute hardware bring-up, including power supplies, SoCs, MCUs, SerDes interfaces, network devices, etc.
• Lead design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testing (DFT).
• Drive validation and testing of hardware components and systems to ensure high reliability and performance.
• Establish test plans and protocols to validate designs against requirements.
• Troubleshoot hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions.
• Support manufacturing partners in troubleshooting and resolving production issues.
• Conduct design reviews and provide constructive feedback for optimal solutions.
• Lead/support DFMEA/PFMEA of Central Compute, incorporating lessons learned and best practices.
• Provide guidance and consultation to Design Release Engineers (DREs).
