At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. Job Overview Contributes to technical function initiatives across multiple projects and manages technical elements while maintaining performance and schedule. KEY RESPONSBILITIES: System Architecture & Design • Define end-to-end system architecture for transportation sensors, including embedded hardware, ASIC interfaces, signal processing, and software interactions. • Lead electronic design activities: schematic development, electrical & thermal calculations, DFMEA creation, and PCB layout oversight. • Perform system-level simulations and modeling to validate architecture and ensure robust performance across operating conditions. Development, Validation & Problem Solving • Lead full lifecycle sensor development by collaborating with Mechanical, Software, ECAD, ASIC, Quality, and Reliability teams. • Conduct and manage system-level validations (functional, electrical, EMC, thermal). • Demonstrate strong hands-on debugging skills across electronics, firmware, and system interfaces, including test rig hardware troubleshooting and development. • Drive root-cause analysis using structured methodologies and implement durable corrective actions. Functional Safety & Compliance • Perform ASIL analyses, safety goal decomposition, FIT evaluation, and system safety architecture definition per ISO 26262. • Work with hardware and software teams to define, manage, and verify safety requirements at component and system levels. Customer Interaction & Technical Leadership • Serve as the primary technical interface for customer discussions on requirements, concepts, design changes, and validation outcomes. • Translate customer and market needs into clear system specifications and requirements. • Lead design reviews, risk mitigation planning, and technical decision-making forums. AI, Data Analytics & Continuous Improvement • Apply machine learning techniques for test data analytics, anomaly detection, and early failure prediction. • Leverage AI/ML to optimize calibration strategies and accelerate sensor characterization. • Benchmark industry technologies, conduct IC characterization, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Work with global teams, subject matter experts, and external partners to deliver program milestones and maintain engineering rigor. • Ensure structured execution using Lean Product Development and systems engineering best practices. DESIRED SKILL: • Masters / Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering or Instrumentation Engineering. • 12–15 years of experience in automotive electronics, sensor development, or integrated circuit/sensor platforms, with at least 5 years as a Systems Engineer. • Strong background in sensor system design, architecture, and deployment for automotive environments. • Expertise in analog/digital circuit design, simulation, and system-level functional verification. • Strong debugging capability for hardware, firmware, and system integration issues. • Hands-on experience developing test rigs, test instrumentation, and data acquisition systems. • Demonstrated ability to analyze complex datasets, draw conclusions, and drive decisions. • Proficiency in ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standards, ASIL compliance, FIT analysis, and safety architecture definition. • Familiarity with sensing technologies such as Hall, piezoresistive/MEMS, strain gage, XMR, capacitance, and associated ASIC architectures. • Experience with AI/hyperscale hardware OR AI driven analytics for sensor test data. • Familiarity with machine learning techniques used for anomaly detection or predictive diagnostics. • Knowledge of LabVIEW, communication interfaces (SENT, PWM, I²C), and software/system development workflows. • Experience with ALM tools such as Code Beamer. • Proven track record leading global cross-functional teams to deliver complex technical programs. • Exceptional analytical, critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-resolution skills. What your background should look like Generally requires Bachelors degree in appropriate field with a minimum of 5 years of progressively responsible professional level experience; Masters degree or higher or local equivalent may be preferred at this level Competencies Values: Integrity, Accountability, Inclusion, Innovation, Teamwork
