Electrical Systems Enigneer

About the role

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the execution and delivery of electrical engineering work for assigned vehicle or subsystem programs from early development through launch and production readiness. This role supports the design, validation, release, and issue resolution of electrical and electronic content, with a strong emphasis on hands-on troubleshooting, electrical bench testing, supplier engagement, interface definition, and program execution.

Responsibilities

• Hands-on troubleshooting and root cause investigation
• Perform hands-on troubleshooting of electrical systems, components, harnesses, modules, and interfaces at the bench, vehicle, and subsystem level
• Investigate electrical issues using engineering fundamentals, test equipment, schematics, pinouts, and diagnostic data
• Lead or support structured root cause analysis for electrical failures, intermittent issues, integration concerns, and performance problems
• Distinguish between design, manufacturing, supplier, software, and interface-related issues and drive appropriate containment and corrective action
• Document findings clearly and communicate technical risks, root causes, and recommended actions to stakeholders
• Lead electrical engineering activities for assigned components, modules, or systems through the full program lifecycle
• Develop, review, and maintain electrical requirements, technical specifications, and engineering deliverables
• Ensure electrical designs meet functional, performance, quality, safety, cost, and timing requirements
• Interface with cross-functional teams to align engineering decisions with vehicle, subsystem, and program objectives
• Create, update, and maintain Electrical Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for assigned systems and components
• Carefully review supplier schematics, circuit designs, interface definitions, test plans, and technical documentation with the ability to understand the design and detect issues
• Support issue resolution by using ICDs as a core reference for confirming interface intent and identifying mismatches
• Plan, set up, and execute electrical bench tests to confirm circuit function, interface integrity, signal behavior, and component performance
• Work closely with validation and test teams to define test conditions, review results, and resolve electrical issues discovered during development and launch
• Manage engineering deliverables in alignment with program timing, gateway milestones, and launch requirements
• Track open issues, support action plans, and escalate risks that may affect design maturity, validation completion, or launch readiness
• Follow program timing closely and ensure engineering activities, supplier deliverables, testing, reviews, and documentation are completed on schedule
• Balance technical depth with execution urgency to support timely decision-making and issue closure
• Contribute to launch preparation and ensure electrical engineering readiness for builds, validation events, and production milestones
• Lead and participate in supplier design reviews to evaluate electrical design maturity, technical feasibility, interface compatibility, and compliance with requirements
• Support verification and validation activities by confirming electrical performance against requirements and expected operating conditions

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science or a related engineering discipline
• Experience in electrical engineering, product development, validation, or issue resolution in an automotive, transportation, or similarly complex technical environment
• Strong understanding of electrical circuits, interfaces, signal behavior, grounding, power distribution, and component interaction to effectively troubleshoot issues on vehicle
• Hands-on troubleshooting capability with electrical systems and hardware
• Experience performing or supporting electrical bench testing and interpreting test results
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
• Ability to travel locally as required to support testing, supplier reviews, builds, or launch activities
