Senior Electrical Engineer, Autonomous Vehicles

The role

You will own the electrical architecture and vehicle integration systems for an autonomous tractor platform. This includes designing vehicle harness systems, electrical schematics, and driving fault analysis for the deployed fleet.

What you will do

• Own the electrical architecture of the autonomous tractor platform end-to-end.
• Design, review and maintain vehicle wiring diagrams and electrical schematics.
• Lead root cause analysis on electrical faults and system-level failures across the deployed fleet.
• Define and drive corrective actions from field failure analysis.
• Own the electrical bring-up and validation process for new vehicle platforms and major upfits.
• Work with external harness manufacturers and integration partners to define build specifications.
• Drive the selection, integration and qualification of electrical and electronic components.
• Establish and maintain electrical design standards, labeling conventions and documentation practices.
• Partner with software and autonomy teams to support hardware bring-up and sensor calibration.
• Contribute to the electrical architecture of next-generation vehicle platforms.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of electrical engineering experience in a hardware-centric domain such as automotive, autonomous vehicles, robotics, aerospace or industrial equipment.
• Deep expertise in vehicle electrical systems including harness and connector design, power distribution, CAN bus and other vehicle networking protocols and grounding and EMC practices.
• Demonstrated ability to read, create and own complex electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Strong background in electrical fault analysis and root cause investigation.
• Experience designing for reliability and serviceability in harsh operational environments.
• Comfort working across the full product lifecycle.
• Ability to operate independently and drive decisions across cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

• Experience with autonomous vehicle or mobile robot electrical systems, including multi-sensor integration and embedded computing hardware.
• Familiarity with high-voltage vehicle architectures and the specific design requirements they introduce for safety and isolation.
• Experience working directly with harness fabrication vendors and contract manufacturers to specify and qualify electrical assemblies.
• Background in defining and executing electrical validation and verification programs.
• Exposure to relevant standards in vehicle electrical engineering or safety-critical system design.
• Experience at an early-stage company where you have had to build electrical engineering infrastructure and design standards from scratch.
