- Creation of electronics bill-of-materials (eBOM).
- Sourcing PCBAs at the prototype and production stages.
- Automotive experience with crash sensors (aka airbag controllers) will be preferred.
- Development of systems requirements for systems procurement from external suppliers.
- Working with contracted (external) suppliers on the development and calibration of systems.
- Strong knowledge of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).
- Experience in design, repair, and analysis of electronic systems.
- Knowledge of Bluetooth and other wireless technology (e.g., Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, RFID, etc.).
- Experience in mobile app development (iOS/Android) will be preferred.
- Exposure to electrical engineering design principles and methodologies.
- Ability to construct electromechanical proof-of-concept demonstration mock-ups.
- 3D CAD design of simple mechanical components (SolidWorks or AutoCAD preferred).
- Soldering of electronics/electrical circuits (including breadboards and PCBAs).
- Use of electronics diagnostics equipment (O'scopes, DMMs, Data-Loggers, etc.).
- Use of basic hand and power tools for system assembly/construction.
- Must have general knowledge of manufacturing and assembly methodologies.
- Strong results orientation and positive 'can-do' attitude with a sense of urgency.
