design & release engineer (dre) – electrical & electronic controls & integration (eeci)

position level: mid to senior level

employment type: full-time (hybrid)

locations: mexico city, toluca, or saltillo, mexico

position overview

we are seeking an experienced design & release engineer (dre) specializing in electrical & electronic controls & integration (eeci) to oversee the development, integration, and release of electronic control units (ecus), smart actuators, and software-driven embedded systems.

in this role, you will be responsible for end-to-end component management—focusing heavily on ecu integration, in-vehicle network protocols, software flashability, diagnostic definitions, and system-level validation. You will serve as the primary technical interface between vehicle architecture teams, software release engineers, quality, manufacturing plants, and tier-1 electronic suppliers.

key responsibilities

- control unit & integration ownership: manage the complete engineering design and release lifecycle for electronic control devices and software-integrated modules (e.g., central body controllers, gateway modules, zone controllers, domain controllers, or smart junction boxes) from concept through mass production (sop).

- network & diagnostic release: oversee component integration with in-vehicle communication networks (can, can-fd, lin, automotive ethernet)



and ensure compliance with diagnostic requirements (uds iso 14229, obd-ii).

- software & calibration lifecycle: coordinate software and calibration releases, managing flashing protocols, over-the-air (ota) update compatibility, and end-of-line (eol) programming routines for manufacturing plants.

- engineering release management: execute release workflows, engineering change requests/orders (ecr/eco), bill of materials (bom) structuring, and software/hardware part number traceability within plm tools (e.g., enovia/teamcenter).

- system validation (dvp&r; & hil): lead design verification plans & reports (dvp&r;), combining hardware validation with software integration testing on hardware-in-the-loop (hil) test benches and prototype vehicles.

- supplier & cross-functional alignment: lead technical reviews with tier-1 ecu suppliers, tracking software delivery schedules, hardware revisions, functional safety requirements, and component sign-offs.

- root cause analysis & issue resolution: troubleshoot vehicle electrical integration issues, network bus errors, and ecu dtcs using structured problem-solving methodologies (8d, 5-why, fishbone) to resolve field and plant issues.

- functional safety & cybersecurity: ensure hardware/software designs conform to iso 26262 functional safety requirements (asil ratings) and automotive cybersecurity compliance standards.
