Overview:

Join Dorle Controls as an EE Architect – Vehicle Architecture, leading the design and integration of scalable, secure EE systems for software-defined vehicles. Drive cross-domain architecture, ensure seamless EE/SW integration, and deliver future-ready solutions from concept to launch.

Experience: 3+ yrs

Location:

• Novi, Michigan, USA

Role and Responsibilities

Overview of the roles and responsibilities are listed below for reference (scope to be adjusted further along the program development based on need).

• Define end-to-end EE architecture aligned with SDV principles (centralized compute, zonal control, high-speed data backbone).
• Translate feature and platform requirements into scalable and modular hardware/electrical architecture.
• Define power distribution and network topology (Ethernet, CAN-FD, LIN, FlexRay, PCIe).
• Architect partitioning of vehicle electronics into zonal or domain controllers (e.g., body, ADAS, chassis, infotainment
• Drive consolidation strategies for ECUs, sensors, and actuators into intelligent controllers.
• Ensure hardware readiness for middleware, virtualization, and SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture).
• Define hardware/software interface (HSI) specs and enable OTA updates, diagnostics, and data telemetry via EE design
• Coordinate with system architects, software platform teams, product owners, and manufacturing to ensure design feasibility and system integration.
• Collaborate with stakeholders through system “V” development from concept to launch with design reviews and CFT.
• Domain/working knowledge of SW controls, EE, Electronics, and expertise in development, testing and validation methods of mechatronics systems.

Preferred experience and skills

• Masters in EE, Systems Engineering
• Extensive experience working with Automotive EE architectures (both Domain, Distributed) from Body, Infotainment, Drive or Energy.
• Strong understanding of 1st principles in Engineering, result/solution oriented
• Subject matter expert in Systems Engineering, Multi-domain physics, Complex systems design with EE, SW integration.
• Expertise with embedded, EE systems such as wiring and power distribution units.
• Familiarity with A2B, CAN, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, LVDS communication protocols and Vehicle Network tools, such as CANalyzer, CANoe, etc.
• Expertise with complex problem solving, data analysis, access/interpret/drive results with extended teams.
