Senior Electrical Engineer – Vehicle Systems

Senior Electrical Engineer – Vehicle Systems

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with 5+ years of experience in complex electromechanical systems
• Proven experience in system-level electrical design for vehicles or safety-critical systems (automotive, aerospace, rail, etc.)
• Deep understanding of power distribution, control logic, and embedded communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, SPI)
• Experience working cross-functionally with software, mechanical, and compliance teams
• Comfortable developing system safety documentation and supporting regulatory approvals

Responsibilities

• Architect electrical systems across the vehicle platform, including power distribution, actuation (e.g. braking), sensor networks, and compute hardware.
• Define system requirements, safety goals, and functional architecture for safety-critical subsystems.
• Interface with hardware vendors and internal teams for electrical component selection, system validation, and integration.
• Develop safety and compliance documentation (e.g., DFMEAs, system hazard analyses, regulatory test plans).
• Drive system-level reviews across hardware, software, and mechanical teams to ensure robust, scalable designs.
• Provide technical leadership in root cause analysis and failure mode mitigation during development and field testing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing or integrating braking systems, especially in automotive, rail, or aerospace contexts
• Familiarity with ISO 26262, ASIL, IEC 61508, or other functional safety frameworks
• Hands-on experience leading systems through regulatory testing and certification processes
• Working knowledge of battery management, compute enclosures, and sensor fusion hardware
• Strong system modeling or simulation background (SPICE, MATLAB, etc.)
