About the role

Responsibilities:

  • Own the design & development of vehicle electrical systems, including wiring harnesses, commercial-off-the-shelf hardware, and test stands
  • Drive the development and documentation of safety-critical subsystems, including DFMEAs, system hazard analyses, and verification & validation
  • Perform hands-on hardware bring-up, bench testing, and debugging of electrical assemblies and prototype vehicles
  • Lead end-to-end system integration with full lifecycle ownership, interface management, and cross-functional alignment to ensure the system works with all software and mechanical dependencies
  • Maintain accurate engineering documentation including schematics, BOMs, test reports, and change logs

Basic Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related discipline
  • 3+ years experience with power distribution, control logic, or embedded communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, SPI)
  • Comfortable working from first principles to analyze, troubleshoot, and validate system performance
  • Experience with CAD and design tools such as SolidWorks, Altium, RapidHarness, or similar

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc)
  • Full lifecycle experience with electrical systems in automotive, rail, aerospace, or heavy industry
  • Programming experience with Python, Rust, or C/C++
  • Working knowledge of ISO 26262, ASIL, IEC 61508, or other functional safety frameworks
  • Hands-on experience designing, prototyping, integrating, and testing complex harnessing
