Responsibilities
Drive the electrical wiring system design from concept to production, focusing on the transition toward Zonal power and data distribution to minimize mass and maximize vehicle efficiency
Architect and integrate diverse voltage platforms, leading wire sizing, fuse coordination, and terminal selection based on steady-state and transient power profiles to ensure robust power delivery
Design for signal integrity across the vehicle’s data backbone, managing shielded circuits for ADAS sensors, Automotive Ethernet, and other high-bandwidth communication protocols
Partner with Subsystem engineers to establish harness partitioning and complexity strategies to minimize wire count, optimize cost, and reduce weight—critical metrics for EV range
Influence the design of grounding and network topologies while collaborating on Functional Safety (ISO 26262) assessments to ensure the EDS architecture supports safety-critical features
Develop logical and physical electrical schematics using professional ECAD tools (e.g., Capital, Zuken), owning the technical resolution of integration issues as they arise
Support Labcar and prototype vehicle builds as the primary lead for electrical bring-up, circuit troubleshooting, and validating system-level changes in a real-world environment
Review 2D drawings and 3D routing to ensure supplier readiness while investigating new harness technologies (e.g., busbars or automated manufacturing) to push the boundaries of EV design
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related technical field
5+ years of experience in EDS design and development within the automotive, aerospace, or complex robotics industries
5+ years of hands-on experience with professional EDS ECAD tooling (e.g., Mentor Capital, Zuken E3, or Vector Preevision)
Proven experience in a mass-production environment, taking a product from initial concept through Job 1/launch
Deep understanding of Electrical Engineering fundamentals (Ohm's Law, voltage drop, thermal management, and circuit protection)
Preferred
Experience with High Voltage (HV) DC power distribution and the challenges of integrating diverse voltage architectures
Familiarity with high-speed data requirements, including shielding, twisting, and connector selection for Automotive Ethernet or LVDS
Experience with vehicle instrumentation (data loggers, current clamps, oscilloscopes) in a controlled lab or test-track environment
Familiarity with Confluence and Jira for task management in a fast-paced, iterative development cycle
Demonstrated ability to manage high-variant harness architectures and 'feature-to-pin' mapping
Experience performing DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to ensure long-term reliability
Strong written and verbal communication skills with an eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic, high-performing team environment
Benefits
Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
Tuition assistance
Established and active employee resource groups
Paid time off for individual and team community service
A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day
Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
