About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline is required.
  • At least 7 years of experience designing and developing electronic hardware, including ownership of complex circuit designs and delivery through verification or production release.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in schematic capture, circuit analysis, laboratory debugging, technical documentation, and design reviews is required.
  • Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly and collaborate effectively across disciplines, organizations, and geographic regions is required.

Responsibilities

  • Support or own the design of automotive computing products, including infotainment, connectivity, advanced driver-assistance systems, and cross-domain electronic control units, translating customer and market requirements into robust, cost-effective hardware designs and leading them through verification, validation, industrialization, and mass-production launch.
  • Work directly with automotive original equipment manufacturer customers to elicit, analyze, document, and manage functional, electrical, environmental, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
  • Define system and hardware architectures for products that include switch-mode power supplies, power switches, low-voltage differential signaling transceivers, high-definition multimedia interface receivers, universal serial bus hubs, embedded microcontrollers, audio/video codecs, and standards-based wireless communications such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
  • Lead schematic design, component selection, design reviews, interface definition, and printed circuit board layout guidance, including signal-integrity, power-integrity, thermal, grounding, and design-for-manufacturing considerations.
  • Perform simulations, worst-case circuit analysis, tolerance analysis, design failure mode and effects analyses, fault-tree analyses, and related design-assurance activities.
  • Develop and negotiate hardware verification and electromagnetic compatibility validation plans that satisfy internal, customer, and applicable automotive requirements, and maintain requirements-to-test traceability.
  • Troubleshoot validation, manufacturing, and vehicle issues through bench-level debugging, testing, measurement, root-cause analysis, and prototyping, and drive corrective actions to closure.
  • Manage hardware deliverables, technical risks, design documentation, change control, and release readiness across the product life cycle.
  • Lead and collaborate with local and global cross-functional engineering teams, suppliers, manufacturing partners, and customers to meet quality, cost, timing, and performance targets.
  • Mentor less-experienced engineers and contribute to hardware design standards, reusable methods, and continuous improvement.
  • Travel as required, including occasional international travel and travel to domestic customer and global company locations.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related discipline is preferred.
  • Experience with automotive hardware-development practices, original equipment manufacturer customer requirements, product-quality processes, and applicable environmental, electromagnetic compatibility, and electrical-transient standards is preferred.
  • Full product-life-cycle experience with automotive electronics, including requirements, architecture and concept development, component selection, schematic design, analysis, simulation, verification, validation, industrialization, production launch, and sustaining engineering is preferred.
  • Digital design experience with processors, microcontrollers, memories, display interfaces, I²S, I²C, SPI, and high-speed serial interfaces such as USB 2.0/3.x, Ethernet, PCI Express, and HDMI is preferred.
  • Analog and mixed-signal design experience with audio, video, sensor interfaces, power supplies, power sequencing, and radio-frequency technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is preferred.
  • Experience applying signal-integrity, power-integrity, electromagnetic interference, radio-frequency interference, electrostatic discharge, grounding, shielding, and thermal-design methods is preferred.
  • Experience developing and executing design verification plans and reports, interpreting test results, and resolving nonconformities is preferred.
  • Proficiency with current laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, logic analyzers, electronic loads, power analyzers, and environmental or electromagnetic compatibility test equipment is preferred.
  • Experience with circuit-simulation, schematic-capture, printed circuit board layout, requirements-management, and product-life-cycle-management tools is preferred.
  • Working knowledge of functional safety, cybersecurity, component qualification, reliability, and supplier-management considerations for automotive electronics is preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems through independent analysis and cross-functional collaboration, influence technical decisions, and communicate effectively with customers and senior stakeholders is preferred.

About the Company

Robert Bosch Venture Capital

Venture capital funding deep tech startups

RBVC (Robert Bosch Venture Capital) is a global venture capital firm that backs early-stage deep tech startups in areas like energy efficiency, medical devices, and virtual/augmented reality. It supports companies with funding and access to Bosch’s network and resources to help them scale and bring innovations to market. Unlike traditional VCs, RBVC may purchase solutions for a proof-of-concept while allowing startups to keep their intellectual property, which speeds up development and lowers upfront costs. The firm earns money through equity investments and the eventual success of its portfolio. RBVC’s goal is to accelerate technological advances across multiple industries by connecting startups with Bosch’s ecosystem, customers (from medical centers to data centers), and global reach.
