The Role
Responsible to the relevant Applications Team Leader, you will be part of a group developing ECU designs for a range of products covering TRW’s portfolio of electrical power steering (EPS) products. You will undertake ECU application design and development activities for market leading EPS solutions in a dynamic, multi-project, multi-disciplined, safety related product environment.
The role requires a strong understanding of high volume electronic design (covering many areas – from microcontrollers to power electronics). A strong knowledge of engineering and manufacturing processes/tools is, also, required.
What you’ll do
As part of this team, you will develop your expertise in:
- Electronic Circuit Design: Development of electronic circuit designs, covering a wide range of digital and analogue technologies, for high volume, safety critical automotive control systems. Good understanding of electronic components and manufacturing assembly techniques and processes;
- Electronic Circuit Analysis: Tolerancing and worse case analysis using various simulation (eg. Saber, Spice) and analysis tools (eg. Excel, Mathcad);
- Safety and Reliability Analysis: Performing FMEA, FTA, reliability analysis in support of ISO 26262/IEC61508 work packages and analysis;
- Generation of requirements, design documents and test documents: Generating documentation in support of TRW procedures and engineering design and development activities;
- Validation, Verification and Test: Generate test plans and conduct validation/verification/test programmes to ensure designs are fit for purpose and conform to design requirements;
- Manage other team members, contract functions, project and component development activities;
- Support customer and suppliers;
- Support the introduction of EPS ECUs into mass production at electronic production plants worldwide.
What we are looking for
Essential:
- Educated to degree level (in a relevant subject);
- 5 years experience in electronic design, analysis and validation in a high volume and/or high reliability market;
- Experience in key safety analysis processes (e.g. FMEA);
- Excellent communication skills; particularly reporting;
- Self motivated with a willingness to push existing boundaries and learn/develop new skills;
- Willing and able to travel overseas (to support customers, suppliers and manufacturing sites etc.).
Desirable:
- Member of relevant professional body (e.g. IET);
- Experience in key safety analysis processes (e.g. ISO 26262, FMEA, FTA etc.);
- Automotive system and design experience (e.g. requirements, processes and tools).
