Venti Technologies - Senior Autonomous Vehicle Engineer (Electrical & Electronics)
Requirements
• A degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering (or similar) with senior-level experience in related fields such as automotive / heavy machinery / robotics etc. • A strong PCB design background, and the ability to confidently maintain, update, and troubleshoot boards the team already built. • Proficiency in KiCad for PCB work and RapidHarness for harness schematics (or a close equivalent, if you're ready to switch). • Hands-on experience designing wire harnesses at the detail level: components, connectors, pins, wires. • Solid grounding in microcontroller-based designs, relays, voltage regulation, signal conditioning, mixed analog/digital I/O, and CAN. • Experience with CAN communication architecture and good design practice. • An eye for signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. • Experience producing manufacturing-ready documentation and managing BOMs and version history for third-party production. • A genuine willingness to travel to client sites and get hands-on with vehicles. • Familiarity with Linux, including command-line tools and basic scripting (e.g. Bash or Python), as many of Venti's internal engineering and troubleshooting tools run on Linux. - Proficiency in Mandarin is beneficial for technical discussions with Chinese vendors and contract manufacturers. • SALARY IS COMMENSURATE WITH EXPERIENCE. WE ALSO OFFER WORLD-CLASS BENEFITS, FANTASTIC CULTURE, FLEXIBLE WORKING ARRANGEMENTS, AND A GREAT INTERNATIONAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT. COME AND JOIN US!
Responsibilities
• Electronics Design & Technical Ownership • Design electronic boards with STM32 as the primary platform for vehicle control, power distribution, sensing, communications, and peripheral interfacing. • Translate system and interface requirements into circuit-level requirements, schematics, component selection, PCB requirements, diagnostics, and validation criteria. • Perform MCU bring-up and low-level debugging using tools such as STM32CubeIDE / STM32CubeMX, ST-LINK, J-Link, SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes. • Develop and debug peripheral interfaces including CAN / CAN FD, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, PWM, GPIO, timers, interrupts, and watchdogs. • Design power switching, DC/DC conversion, MOSFET and high-side / low-side drivers, PWM outputs, analog and digital I/O, current / voltage sensing, signal conditioning, and sensor interfaces. • Design robust interfaces for solenoids, proportional valves, relays, contactors, motors, actuators, sensors, and vehicle ECUs, including functions related to braking, throttle, steering, and transmission. • Design for 12 V / 24 V vehicle environments, including reverse polarity, voltage dips, overvoltage, short circuit, inductive transients, ESD, surge, EMI / EMC, and abnormal operating conditions. • Select and derate components based on electrical stress, thermal performance, tolerance, lifetime, reliability, environmental requirements, and supply availability. • Develop schematics and provide technical direction for PCB layout, grounding, return paths, power / signal integrity, thermal design, creepage / clearance, and manufacturability. • Lead board-level design reviews, identify circuit failure modes, make engineering trade-offs, and mentor other electrical / electronics engineers. • Validation & Root Cause Analysis • Plan and execute prototype bring-up, board verification, characterization, margin testing, and qualification activities. • Validate power sequencing, load response, short-circuit behavior, inductive switching, thermal performance, communication robustness, protection functions, and relevant environmental conditions. • Develop bench test setups to simulate vehicle sensors, actuators, electrical loads, power conditions, and communication interfaces. • Lead board-level root-cause investigations for complex, intermittent, or safety-relevant failures using oscilloscopes, multimeters, electronic loads, programmable supplies, logic analyzers, CAN tools, thermal imaging, and other laboratory equipment. • Define corrective actions, verify design changes, document design margins and limitations, and close issues before production release. • Product Lifecycle & EOL Management • Maintain and support internally developed electronic boards throughout the supported product lifetime. • Monitor component EOL, PCNs, long lead times, manufacturer changes, and supply constraints; maintain approved alternates and replacement strategies. • Qualify component substitutions based on form-fit-function compatibility, electrical behavior, thermal performance, EMC impact, environmental suitability, and firmware / interface compatibility. • Perform schematic and PCB revisions when drop-in replacements are unavailable, and lead redesign of legacy boards when key components become obsolete. • Maintain BOM lifecycle status, revision control, engineering-change documentation, and validation evidence so boards remain manufacturable, testable, repairable, and supportable. • Production & Supplier Support • Work with PCB, PCBA, component, cable, and connector suppliers on technical issues, substitutions, quality problems, and production changes. • Support DFM, DFT, production test development, manufacturing failure analysis, and engineering change control. • Review supplier deviations and proposed substitutions, ensuring changes are supported by engineering analysis and appropriate validation evidence.
