Electrical Engineer

An Electrical Engineer specializing in automotive electrical systems, system architecture, and functional safety, responsible for developing and integrating vehicle electrical components and software-controlled systems. The role involves establishing electrical design standards, managing system requirements, leading root cause analysis, and ensuring product quality, reliability, and compliance with functional safety requirements. Collaborates with cross-functional engineering teams and suppliers to deliver robust, scalable electrical solutions across vehicle development programs.

• Deep knowledge of vehicle electrical systems, including system and component selection, software integration, electrical design, and system integration
• Strong technical depth in current vehicle technologies and awareness of emerging technologies, with the ability to influence future product and platform direction
• Demonstrated problem-solving capability with experience leading issue resolution from data collection and analysis through root cause identification, solution development, and implementation
• Direct experience in motor vehicle engineering and design is preferred, including automotive, motorcycle, truck and bus, agriculture, or related industries
• Required experience with Functional Safety, including requirements authoring, test case development, and traceability within a product development process; ISO 26262 experience is strongly preferred, and Functional Safety certification is desired
• Experience with Quality Engineering deliverables, including DFMEAs and Design Validation Plans and Test Reports
• Proven success coordinating internal stakeholders and suppliers to deliver against aggressive quality and performance
• objectives, with the ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority
• Ability to communicate technical subjects in a clear, concise manner to multiple levels of the organization
• Experience establishing electrical architecture principles, technical standards, and design governance to deliver robust, scalable, and reusable system solutions across programs is preferred
• Experience with requirements and issue management tools such as Helix ALM and Jira, as well as quality and verification methods including DFMEA, DVP&R, bench, HIL, and vehicle validation, is preferred

Qualification:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering / Masters
• Lead the definition, decomposition, and governance of electrical system requirements and architecture, ensuring requirements are clear, testable, traceable, and aligned with business and technical objectives
• Lead system-level technical decisions and establish architecture principles and technical standards that reduce complexity, improve reuse, and support long-term platform strategy
• Identify system integration risks, architectural gaps, and technical tradeoffs early in development, and lead cross-functional resolution of complex technical issues
• Own Functional Safety work products, including item definition, safety requirements, hazard analysis, traceability, and
• verification artifacts, to support compliance with product development and ISO 26262 expectations
• Define verification strategies across supplier, bench, HIL, and vehicle validation environments to ensure components and systems meet performance, quality, and functional targets
• Develop software and system verification plans aligned to requirements, traceability, and functional objectives to support robust, intuitive, and launch-ready features
• Support prototype, pre-production, and launch activities, including product testing and evaluation
• Provide strategic technical leadership for vehicle electrical systems by driving architecture direction, leading technical reviews and design governance, and mentoring design engineers and Tier 1 suppliers to ensure execution aligns with architecture intent, validation requirements, and launch readiness
• Collaborate effectively with global teams, including internal stakeholders and suppliers; this role may require occasional early morning meetings to support global engagement
