• 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.
