Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer - Displays

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer - Displays to drive the design and development of GM's next-generation display systems. This role combines hands-on electrical engineering, supplier collaboration, and cross-functional leadership to deliver robust LCD and OLED display products that meet customer, regulatory, validation, and manufacturing requirements. The ideal candidate brings strong technical fundamentals, ownership, and a passion for turning innovative concepts into production-ready solutions.

Key responsibilities

• Own the electrical hardware design for in-house display modules from concept through validation and release, including architecture definition, circuit design direction, and technical decision-making for multiple display variants.
• Develop and review schematics, BOMs, PCB layouts, and related design documentation, and ensure that the design content is aligned with GM requirements and milestone timing.
• Drive hardware design reviews and major technical reviews with internal stakeholders and suppliers, including EMC, high-speed interface, power sequencing, signal integrity, and power integrity reviews.
• Perform or direct design analysis such as worst-case analysis, tolerance studies, startup and sequencing analysis, thermal review, and circuit compliance checks to confirm that the design meets all electrical and functional requirements.
• Define and validate power architecture and power mode behavior, including low-voltage/cranking behavior, reset strategy, wake-up logic, parasitic current, and protection for reverse battery, jump start, shorts, and open circuits.
• Lead the design and integration of display electrical interfaces such as SERDES/deserializer links, eDP/OLDI/LVDS-class video paths, touch controller interfaces, MCU interfaces, or auxiliary I/O content where applicable.
• Partner with software, systems, mechanical, validation, quality, and supplier teams to resolve cross-functional integration issues, debug root causes, and deliver robust module performance at the component and vehicle levels.
• Support component selection and sourcing strategy for key semiconductors and display-related hardware, with attention to approved part lists, resiliency, supplier capability, and cost/performance trade-offs.
• Ensure the design is ready for DV/PV validation, including ADVP&R alignment, test planning, diagnostic coverage, failure detection strategy, and compliance with GM and regulatory requirements.
• Create and maintain technical artifacts such as DFMEA, open issue tracking, interface definitions, design reports, lessons learned, and release-ready engineering documentation.
• Required qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field.
• 10+ years of proven experience in automotive display electronics or adjacent embedded hardware, with ownership of module or subsystem design from concept through validation.
• Strong background in hardware architecture, schematic design, PCB development, and design analysis for embedded electronic modules.
• Experience leading or supporting DFMEA, worst-case analysis, signal integrity, EMC, and technical design reviews.
• Ability to work effectively with suppliers and cross-functional teams to define interfaces, review designs, solve issues, and drive technical decisions to closure.
• Familiarity with validation, environmental, durability, and regulatory requirements for automotive electronic components and displays.
• Experience using Mentor Graphics tools for schematic capture, design review, and PCB development workflows.
• Experience with EMC-conscious design practices and hands-on support for EMC testing, debugging, and issue resolution.
• Compensation: The compensation information is a good faith estimate only. It is based on what a successful applicant might be paid in accordance with applicable state laws. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position, as well as geography of the selected candidate.
