Electrical Systems Integration Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Electrical Integration: Lead the physical and logical integration of the Bedrock autonomy kit onto machine platforms, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity.
• Power Distribution Architecture: Design and optimize low voltage distribution systems, including wire sizing, fuse coordination, and grounding strategies to ensure system reliability and safety.
• Communication Protocol Implementation: Define and validate hardware-level communication for sensors and ECUs using protocols such as GMSL, 100/1000BASE-T1 (Automotive Ethernet), CAN, and LIN.
• 3D CAD Design: Utilize 3D CAD tools to model electrical routing, connector placements, and mounting solutions within complex mechanical envelopes.
• Supplier & Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for external suppliers, managing the procurement of custom harnesses, sensors, and controllers from specification through to delivery.
• Project Management: Manage integration timelines, track technical risks, and lead "bring-up" phases for prototype builds.
• Troubleshooting & Validation: Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN tools to diagnose and resolve complex system-level electrical issues during lab and field testing.
• Full-Lifecycle Harness Design: Develop complex 2D schematics and 3D wire routings for autonomous sensor suites, compute platforms, and power distribution units.

Job requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or a related field.
• Experience: 7+ years of experience in vehicle or heavy machinery electrical systems integration.
• Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of high-speed SerDes (GMSL/FPD-Link) and Automotive Ethernet .
• Hands-on experience with CAN/LIN network design and debugging.
• Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g., Cadonix Arcadia, Mentor Graphics Capital,, Zuken E3.series, or ) and 3D routing tools (e.g., OnShape CATIA V5/V6 Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or Siemens NX ).
• Project Leadership: Proven ability to manage multi-phase engineering projects and coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Vendor Relations: Experience managing harness vendors from initial RFQ through DFM (Design for Manufacturing) cycles.
• Manufacturing Knowledge: Deep understanding of harness manufacturing processes, including crimp validation (cross-sectioning), ultrasonic welding, and harness "formboard" assembly.
