At KOTEITSP Corporation, we are at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging software to redefine the driving experience and vehicle capabilities.

KOTEITSP Corporation is a vehicle software solution company that specializes in providing high-quality, cost-effective Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) solutions, including Smart Cockpit, HMI, ADAS, and AI applications using cutting-edge technologies and methodologies. We are dedicated to deliver end-to-end SDV solution packages, application development and system integration services, and AI solutions that are exceeding client expectations in term of customer services, solution quality, speed to market, and cost effectiveness.

Role Description

We are seeking a highly skilled

Worst-Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA) Hardware Engineer

to support detailed reliability and safety analysis of critical automotive electronic systems. The successful candidate will perform rigorous analytical evaluations to ensure circuit robustness under all operating conditions, tolerances, and environmental stresses, in compliance with automotive safety and quality standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q100/200/300, OEM-specific requirements).

Key Responsibilities

Perform Worst-Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA) on safety-critical and mission-critical hardware circuits across 7 domains:

LV house-keeping power supplies (switching regulators, LDOs) Isolated power supplies (flyback, forward, resonant converters) Analog sensing circuits (voltage, current, temperature) Digital logic circuits (gates, buffers, level shifters, clock/reset) HV FET gate driver circuits Contactor and pyro fuse driver circuits LV efuse circuits (semiconductor switches with overcurrent protection)
Build and validate circuit models and simulations (SPICE, MATLAB, or equivalent) for parametric sensitivity, aging, and tolerance studies.

Analyze process variations, temperature extremes, aging effects, and supply disturbances to determine design margins.

Collaborate with hardware design engineers to identify high-risk design areas, propose design mitigations, and optimize circuit robustness.

Document analysis results, compliance evidence, and traceability in line with automotive functional safety standards (ISO 26262).

Contribute to design reviews, FMEA sessions, and DFMEA alignment by providing WCCA evidence and margin analysis.

Interface with cross-functional teams including systems, validation, reliability, and safety to ensure comprehensive coverage of design risks.

Support customer reviews and audits with detailed WCCA reports and presentations.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field). 1-3 years of experience in automotive hardware design or analysis, with a focus on power electronics and safety-critical circuits. Demonstrated expertise in Worst-Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA) methodologies. Strong knowledge of analog, digital, and mixed-signal design fundamentals. Hands-on experience with SPICE-based simulation tools (LTspice, PSpice, SIMetrix, or similar). Familiarity with semiconductor devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, BJTs, diodes) and their parametric variations. Understanding of automotive standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q100/200, LV124, LV148). Excellent technical documentation and reporting skills. Strong problem-solving, critical-thinking, and communication abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

3+ related experience in automotive hardware design or analysis. Experience with HV systems (400V/800V EV platforms). Knowledge of reliability physics and aging models for semiconductors and passives. Familiarity with functional safety analysis tools (Medini, Ansys, etc.). Prior involvement in customer-facing technical reviews with OEMs/Tier-1s. Experience with DOORS, Polarion, or similar requirement management tools.

What We Offer

Opportunity to work on cutting-edge automotive electrification projects (EVs, HEVs, autonomous platforms). Exposure to safety-critical hardware design at the forefront of automotive innovation. Collaborative, technically strong engineering team with global impact. Competitive salary, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
