Senior Vehicle Electrical Systems Engineer

The role

The Senior Vehicle Electrical Systems Engineer will own the vehicle-level electrical architecture for an autonomous driving platform. This role involves defining electrical interfaces, designing communication networks, and managing the full product lifecycle from concept to field deployment.

What you will do

• Own the vehicle-level electrical architecture including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and circuit protection.
• Translate system architecture and requirements into electrical designs and maintain traceability.
• Define electrical interfaces between the autonomy kit and the base vehicle.
• Own schematics, wiring diagrams, interface control documents, and harness drawings.
• Design onboard communication networks including CAN, CAN-FD, and Automotive Ethernet.
• Design safety-related circuits such as emergency-stop chains and interlocks.
• Select and qualify wire, connectors, terminals, relays, and protection devices.
• Build, rework, and validate prototype harnesses and wiring.
• Lead electrical integration and bring-up on prototype and production vehicles.
• Support prototype builds, vehicle testing, and field deployment including travel to customer sites.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in vehicle electrical systems such as automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway/industrial machinery, or robotic mobile platforms.
• Demonstrated ownership of an electrical architecture from concept through vehicle integration and validation.
• Deep knowledge of power distribution, grounding and bonding, shielding, circuit protection, and electrical interface design.
• Proven ability to work from a system architecture and written requirements and keep designs traceable.
• Hands-on harness design and prototyping including wiring diagrams, harness specifications, and connector/terminal selection.
• Ability to analyze or reverse-engineer an existing vehicle electrical system and document it accurately.
• Vehicle-side troubleshooting with oscilloscope, multimeter, current probe, and CAN bus analyzer.
• Willingness to work on vehicles in the field, including travel to customer sites.

Nice to have

• Prior OEM or Tier-1 experience on automotive, commercial-vehicle, off-highway, ground-support-equipment (GSE), or special-purpose vehicle platforms.
• Experience taking a vehicle program from prototype through volume production.
• Knowledge of EMC, ESD, and electrical-transient requirements; environmental standards such as ISO 16750, ISO 7637, and IP ingress ratings.
• Functional safety practice — ISO 26262, ISO 13849, or IEC 61508.
• ECU- and MCU-based embedded hardware familiarity.
• High-voltage / battery-electric powertrain platform experience.
• Experience introducing electrical design standards and review processes to a team.
