Company mission
To create a better world by deploying driverless cars at scale.
Role
Who you are
- Electrical engineering degree with the following relevant industry experience - BS with 10+ Years or MS with 8+ Years or PhD with 5+ years
- Extensive experience in the silicon power engineering, including CPUs, GPUs, MCUs, custom and off-the-shelf SOCs, with a strong focus on power optimization and analysis
- Strong in power electronics design, test, board bring up and debug, including PMICs, multi-phase VRs, and power sequencers
- Experienced in designing power entry and conditioning circuits, such as EMI filters, protections and Hot-Swap Controllers. Also, strong analog circuit fundamentals
- Experienced using design tools & simulation software to design, validate, and debug. Also, strong in schematic and PCB layout driven by PDN, PCB manufacturing, reliability, and system level distribution
- Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to identify and resolve power-related issues and optimize power consumption
- Teamwork and Communication: Excellent teamwork and communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
Desirable
- Experience in shipping automotive and/or high reliability products from conception to market with exposure to various automotive safety standards (GMW3172, ISO26262, ISO7637, etc)

- Your expertise will contribute to the development and usage of high-performance solutions for our cutting-edge Autonomous Vehicle technologies and enable us to deliver high-reliability, high-performance self-driving cars
- System Power solution development: Design and development of board-level dc-dc power solutions for the SOCs, including power trees and simulations with a focus on optimization between cost, performance, reliability and efficiency
- System Power Validation: board bring-up, validation and power debugging in the lab. Identify the root cause of power related failures and provide solutions
- Power Architecture Design: Collaborate with the Silicon team to develop power architecture specifications for new custom SOCs, considering power budgets, performance goals, and system-level requirements
- Power Verification: Develop power verification methodologies to validate the silicon chip and system power-related functionality, analyze power consumption, and ensure compliance with power specifications
Our take
The taxi industry has seen dramatic changes through mobile vehicle-hailing apps such as Uber, but these services focus simply on ease-of-access to regular taxi services. The automotive industry has seen a vast range of innovations in recent years such as electric cars and self-driving capability, features that are currently not found in existing services.
Cruise brings self-driving autonomy and electric cars together into a taxi-hailing mobile application. In addition to these innovations, the service focuses on efficiency through ride-sharing as opposed to each ride providing a single trip. Whilst other taxi-hailing services will inevitably turn to electric self-driving vehicles, Cruise shows potential to stand out through its AI-fuelled focus on carpooling and fleet efficiency.
Cruise, which has been acquired by General Motors, has received an inordinate amount of funding, including from Honda and Microsoft, with Softbank investing over $2B to scale its technology. A sum of this came after Cruise launched a limited driverless robotaxi service to the public in San Francisco. However, the company is now facing lawsuits from the city to limit its operations there after a series of accidents involving Cruise's vehicles.
