Responsibilities

• Develop electrical schematics, power system single line diagrams, system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem and between subsystems
• Design electrical interfaces and enclosures for integration of sensors, and peripheral equipment with autonomous systems
• Troubleshoot issues that span the electrical and software boundaries, with solid skills using both test equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools
• Develop subsystems (sensors, interfaces, power management, and networking) for bespoke capabilities
• Work closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products
• Work in a fast-paced environment balancing schedule against cost and performance parameters
• Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews, perform requirements analysis, and plan system verification to ensure compliance with project goals and industry standards

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with 8+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting electrical systems
