Application Engineer

This role will focus on steering wheel electronics product development. As a key player, the candidate will design and maintain mechatronic systems integrating mechanical, electrical, and software engineering principles. The ideal candidate will possess strong communication skills, willing to take the lead when necessary to drive change, and have a knack for building relationships. This role spans multiple engineering disciplines, including materials, optics, electronics, and mechanics, as steering wheels evolve into complex components of vehicle ADAS and comfort systems.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and implement mechatronic systems and prototypes 
• Analyze and troubleshoot complex mechatronic systems, identifying and resolving technical issues. 
• Ensure requirements from the customer are properly negotiated and cascaded into the Autoliv product development process and ASPICE base processes 
• Contribute to the design and selection of mechanical components and materials for mechatronic systems 
• Perform system testing and validation to ensure robustness, reliability, and safety. · Document designs, processes, and outcomes for knowledge sharing and continuous improvement 
• Define interface requirements between various sub-systems of the steering wheel in collaboration with other engineering departments 
• Lead the product development of the steering wheel system 
• Design and engineer electrical interfaces, HMI, capacitive interfaces, ergonomics, vehicle network communications, and material compatibility within the steering wheel system 
• Support software and hardware development teams to ensure ECU implementation meets customer requirements 
• Participate in software code reviews and hardware design reviews 
• Develop product requirements and specifications 
• Develop end-of-line specifications 
• Lead design for manufacturing of the mechatronics system 
• Lead DFMEA and ISO26262 activities
  
• Troubleshoot and installing manufacturing barcode scanners. 

What is required:

• 6+ years of experience in development and manufacturing process of electronic control modules, automotive product development, systems engineering principles
• Proficiency in MS Office, especially Excel 
• Ability to decompose customer requirements into system, sub-system, software, and hardware requirements 
• Ability to Interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings. · Intermediate capability in data analysis and graphical representation of data 
• Intermediate capability in basic electrical equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, LCR meters, and data acquisition equipment
• Proficiency in vehicle network protocols such as CAN and LIN 
• Understanding of embedded microcontrollers 
• Intermediate project management skills (i.e. timing, planning, budgeting, etc.) · Experience with optics is strongly preferred. 
• Capability in programming or coding (C/C++, Python, Java, etc.) is strongly preferred 
• Experience using requirements management tools such as DOORS, Codebeamer, Polarion, etc

What’s in it for you:

•Attractive compensation package

•Flexible Options (schedule, etc)

•Recognition awards, company events, family events, university discount options and many more perks.

•Gender Pay Equality
