Senior Hardware Design Engineer - Electronic Component Library
General Motors, Warren, MI, United States
The Role
General Motors is driving the transformation of the automotive industry through electrification, central compute platforms, and advanced autonomous technologies. The Compute & Connectivity Hardware team leads the electrical design and integration of next-generation ECUs supporting GM’s Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture.
We are seeking an Senior Hardware Design Engineer - Electronic Component Library to serve as the technical leader for GM’s electronic component library. This role is responsible for establishing best-in-class processes, creating and approving schematic symbols and PCB footprints, and building a scalable, high-quality library infrastructure that supports global hardware development.
You will play a critical role in selecting components for the GM library, increasing component creation throughput, elevating library standards, and serving as a key bridge between the GM Component Library and future PLM systems.
Key Responsibilities
Create and approve schematic symbols, PCB footprints (land patterns), pad stacks, and component cells aligned with industry and GM standards
Own and curate a section of the GM Electronic Component Catalog and become the company expert for that class of component
Maintain relationships with supply base component suppliers
Monitor industry roadmap for your assigned components
Participate in the development of best practices, governance, and quality standards for GM’s electronic component library
Collaborate with circuit designers, system engineers, packaging engineers, purchasing, and supply chain teams to support PCB component selection
Improve processes to enhance library quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency
Support integration between the component library and enterprise PLM systems
Required Qualifications
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
Minimum of 7–10 years of professional experience in electronic hardware design, component engineering, or library development
Demonstrated experience creating and approving schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and component models
Strong understanding of component standards, PCB layout considerations, and manufacturing constraints
Proven ability to work independently, make technical decisions, and provide guidance to engineering teams
Experience collaborating across engineering, purchasing, and supplier organizations
Preferred Qualifications
Experience developing electronic component symbols, cells, and pad stacks
Experience in schematic capture and/or PCB layout design
Background in Siemens Xpedition library development and tool chain
Experience as an electronic hardware component engineer
Familiarity with enterprise PLM systems
