Central Computing Hardware Architect

Senior Central Computing Hardware Architect

Stellantis is looking for a Senior Hardware Architect with expertise in Propulsion Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to help shape the next generation of vehicle computing hardware.

You will join our Central Computing team, responsible for the in-house hardware architecture and design of automotive controllers spanning Propulsion, High-Performance Computers (HPCs), and Zone Control Units (ZCUs). While your initial focus will be leading hardware architecture for propulsion ECU programs, you will work within a cross-functional hardware organization with opportunities to expand your impact across HPC, ZCU, and future centralized computing platforms.

Main Responsibilities:

• Develop both physical and functional electrical architecture from concept through production.

• Develop electrical block diagrams describing major components and interfaces.

• Create functional diagrams that specify and describe functional interfaces, timing, and other dynamic aspects of the hardware.

• Develop solutions for any discovered weaknesses in the design balancing performance, cost, timing and other stakeholder impact factors.

• Ownership of architectural decisions and the resulting design documentation.

• Close collaboration with Vehicle Planning, System Engineering and Software Engineering to ensure the Hardware Architecture fulfills all stakeholder needs now and into the future.

• Support the portfolio of in-house Hardware products by defining a roadmap for design evolutions, new variants, and new products.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related degree field

• A minimum of 8 years of engineering experience

• A minimum of 5 years of Electronic Control Unit (ECU) design experience or equivalent

• Intermediate knowledge of vehicle-level electrical architecture

• Advanced knowledge of Microcontroller design and applications

• Intermediate knowledge of application of automotive safety standards

• Expertise in at least one vehicle system domain of automotive (e.g. Propulsion, Infotainment, Body, or ADAS)

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with a team and external stakeholders

• Demonstrated ability to work independently on abstract technical and operational tasks

• Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex technical and non-technical inputs to set strategy and resolve difficult challenges

• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts for comprehension across internal and external stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to understand electrical schematics, datasheets, user manuals, and debug logs/traces.

• Demonstrated ability to debug complex technical issues of electronic control units and/or electrical systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced knowledge (10+ years) in Electrical Design of Electronic Control Units for Propulsion.

• Advanced knowledge of applicable automotive regulations and safety standards including ISO 26262
