Sr Advanced Hardware Engineer at Honeywell designing and developing FPGA and firmware solutions for aerospace applications. Collaboration with engineering teams to ensure successful project delivery in a fast - paced environment.
About the role
- Lead hardware validation strategies and technical roadmaps for complex mechatronic hardware across vehicle product lines. Oversee test environments and ensure hardware architectures are robust and validated.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of validation requirements and DVP&R strategies that span multiple product lines, ensuring consistency and technical excellence across different mechanical-electrical modules.
- Define and approve complex test specifications, including high-fidelity pass/fail criteria, to ensure long-term reliability in diverse global environments.
- Lead architectural design of scalable test platforms that can be leveraged across multiple hardware variants to increase testing efficiency.
- Spearhead bring-up of high-complexity test stations. Act as the primary technical escalations point for the most challenging hardware/software integration issues.
- Partner with hardware design teams at the architecture phase to influence PCB and mechanical designs, ensuring systems are designed for test (DFT) and manufacturing (DFM), optimized for validation and end-of-line production testing.
- Performing failure mode analysis with advanced detailed analysis tools to drive root cause diagnosis.
- Direct the technical requirements for external Tier 1 suppliers and independent test labs to ensure outsourced validation meets Ford’s stringent internal benchmarks.
- Managing vendors to implement validation tools, plans and infrastructure
- Business travel (up to 20% domestic and international travel) to support product development is required.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
- 5+ years of experience in hardware validation, mechatronic system design, or product development.
- 5+ years of experience in test equipment architecture, including the design of custom electrical/mechanical test rigs and automated stations.
- Proven track record of defining test limits and pass/fail criteria for high-reliability hardware.
- Experience leading technical projects that span multiple product families or global platforms.
- Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is preferred.
- Expert-level proficiency in automated test frameworks (Python, LabVIEW, or C++) and hardware communication protocols (Automotive Ethernet, CAN-FD, PCIe) is preferred.
- Deep understanding of ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), ISO 16750 (Environmental Testing), and EMC/EMI compliance standards is preferred.
- Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and correlating physical test data with virtual simulations is preferred.
- Exceptional communication skills with the ability to distill complex technical risks for executive leadership is preferred.
Benefits
- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
- Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
- Tuition assistance
- Established and active employee resource groups
- Paid time off for individual and team community service
- A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day
- Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
