Your new workplace Welcome to Geely Design Center Gothenburg, the new multi-brand studio from Geely Auto Group, dedicated to supporting the design efforts for the premium high-tech electric brand Zeekr. This remarkable design house is spearheaded by automotive design veteran, Stefan Sielaff, who oversees more than 500 design talents from all over the world in shaping tomorrow's cars. Your future role as Advanced Concept Prototyper

As anAdvanced Concept Prototyper you are working across various projects with a focus on physical prototypes. You are expected to be part of the Model amp; Fabrication ACM Team to support the Advanced Design Teams of Zeekr and Lynk amp; Co. As part of the Advanced Concept Model Team you will work closely with designers in the UX/HMI, Interior and Exterior Design teams with a focus on physical prototype design and build, to support and evaluate Design concepts.

The core of assignments for this role consists of taking high level optical/ electrical design requirements or concepts from the HMI team and then sourcing and evaluating hardware sensor/actuator/component datasheets for suitability. After identifying the necessary hardware (including reverse engineering existing hardware where appropriate), you will work with a broader engineering team to resolve optical, electrical amp; software challenges so the design can be rapidly prototyped, often using in-house tools and equipment.

Finally, hands on expertise will be required to build, assemble and commission your own prototypes, including developing the necessary firmware, electronics (wiring amp; PCB) and mechanical assembly, iterating the design where necessary. The resulting prototypes should adequately test the original requirements, identify new technology opportunities and all within rapid iteration cycles

Requirements:

• Relevant experience in most of the following:
  • Open Source Hardware / IDE: Arduino, Raspberry Pi
  • Solid experience with Source code editor as VS Code or similar
  • Microcontrollers: 8bit - 32bit (ARM Cortex, Atmel, Espressif)
  • Peripherals: I2C, SPI, GPIO, DAC, ADC, Stepper Controllers, PWM, H-bridge, TTL-Serial
  • Familiar with PCB design tools as Kicad, Eagle or similar
  • Embedded-C, C++, Python
• 5 years combined electronics / firmware / product development experience with an emphasis on rapid, iterative prototyping
• Minimum of 3 years in an embedded or product development environment with an emphasis on rapid, iterative prototyping
• Knowledge of CAN/LIN communication is a merit.

Personal attributes

• Good communication skills
• A high work ethic
• Ability to be flexible, determined and persistent,
• Team collaborative and a willingnessto share and learn new methods
• Creative and innovative but structured, methodical and analytical with good planning skills.
