Staff Electrical Engineer

The role

You will define and develop electrical components and system architecture for an autonomous vehicle platform. You will collaborate across hardware, software, and systems teams to integrate sensors, compute, and power systems.

What you will do

• Define and develop electrical/electronic components and overall system architecture for an autonomous vehicle platform.
• Collaborate across hardware, software, and systems teams to drive integration of sensors, compute, and power systems.
• Serve as the technical point of contact for key component and sensor suppliers.
• Oversee vehicle- and system-level bring-up for calibration, testing, and manufacturing.
• Define and manage technical documentation, interface specifications, and deliverables for NPI and volume manufacturing.
• Support field performance improvements through investigation of vehicle issues.
• Contribute to the development and enforcement of engineering best practices.
• Participate in design reviews, integration planning, and cross-functional problem-solving.

Required qualifications

• 7+ years of experience leading electrical system development for complex mechatronic, vehicle, or robotics platforms
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Deep understanding of sensor technologies (camera, lidar, radar, ultrasound) and their integration into vehicle architectures
• Ability to evaluate sensor trade-offs and calibration strategies
• Experience with vehicle-level electrical integration, system reliability, and design for manufacturability
• Proven track record collaborating across hardware, software, and systems teams during bring-up and integration phases
• Experience in industries such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, or automation
• Familiarity with scripting and automation tools (e.g., Python, command-line tools)
• Working knowledge of in-vehicle communication protocols such as GMSL2, CAN, CAN-FD, and LIN

Nice to have

• Master’s degree
• Familiarity with system modeling or simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink
• Understanding of embedded system interfaces and microcontroller-based architectures
