Lead End-to-End L4 Hardware Architecture Design:
Own the end-to-end routing, schematic capture, component selection, and 3D integration of complex wire harness assemblies, specifically focusing on the L4 autonomous driving sensor kit and high-performance computing platform.
Optimize Topology & Redundancy:
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (E/E Architecture, Perception, Packaging, and Power Distribution) to define network topologies, optimize grounding strategies, and ensure robust power distribution redundancy for fail-operational systems.
Mitigate EMI & Ensure Signal Integrity:
Define and implement strict shielding, twisting, and physical separation rules within the harness layout to guarantee signal integrity for High-Speed Ethernet channels and prevent cross-talk/EMI between high-power lines and sensitive sensor data lines.
Troubleshoot & Launch Prototypes:
Lead root-cause analysis and troubleshooting for electrical noise, signal degradation, and EMI issues during vehicle prototype builds and fleet testing; efficiently execute engineering change orders (ECO) to support rapid vehicle iteration.
Supplier Management & Validation:
Partner with Tier 1 suppliers to source high-quality, automotive-grade high-speed connectors and cables, manage engineering drawings for manufacturing feasibility (DFM), and author validation test plans (mechanical, environmental, and electrical) to guarantee production-ready compliance.
