• Architect and optimize circuit solutions for safety-critical applications.
• Drive rigorous design analysis including WCA, thermal analysis, DFMEA, and signal/power integrity.
• Define test strategies and lead DVT, qualification, and functional testing.
• Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses.
• Serve as a technical authority across mechanical, thermal, software, systems, quality, and manufacturing teams.
• Lead and facilitate peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.
• Lead root cause and failure analysis and drive corrective action.
• Define vendor evaluation criteria and lead sourcing decisions.
• Mentor and technically guide junior and mid-level engineers.

Required qualifications
