Duration: Long term
Job Description:
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL
  • Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOM), defining appropriate application of parts & assembly; providing input on modular BOM structure to maintain and improve configuration efficiency
  • Gather information regarding supplier components, existing GILLIG designs and technological advancements to rationalize and optimize design concepts
  • Use analytical tools to assess designs of self and others, including but not limited to, power, grounding, circuit protection, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), signal integrity, and thermal management.
  • Perform design trade-offs and optimization to devise robust, manufacturable, and maintainable design concepts
  • Use ECAD tools to create, review & release vehicle components, schematics and harness assemblies
  • Gain a mastery of both Customer & Design REI releases, including significant involvement in BOM structuring, Change Control, Production Change Order (PCO), and Engineered Production Change
  • Support designs throughout entre lifecycle, including development, production launch, variant designs & customization, and field support.
  • Provide expert input working with the test engineer(s) to create DVP&R, execute the defined test plan and review the test results/reports.
  • Provide technical input to technical publications.
  • Collaborate and iterate designs with cross-functional partners such as mechanical, controls, manufacturing engineers, as well as production personnel.
  • Operate in a primary role, proposing solutions to more senior engineers or management for evaluation.
SCOPE OF THE ROLE
  • Autonomy: Ability to work independently with review at critical points.
  • Technically Minded: Apply industry practices and standards (NFPA, NEC, APTA, etc.) and provide input and advice to other staff members on industry practices and standards. Exhibit advanced wide-ranging experience, using in-depth professional knowledge, acumen, concepts and company objectives to develop, resolve complex models and procedures.

  • Communication: Collaborate and teach up, down and across the organization to help raise the skills and knowledge of the GILLIG team. Adapt style to differing audiences and adept at persuasion on complex subjects.
  • Complexity: Assignments are broad in scope and highly complex that require outstanding creativity, superior initiative, good judgement, and leadership skills. Work on problems with diverse scope, where analysis of information requires evaluation of identifiable factors. Devise solutions based on limited information and precedent and adapt existing approaches to resolve issues. Use evaluation, judgment, and interpretation to select the right course of action.
  • Quality & Standards: Model, drawing, and other technical documentation is accurate and complete. Released designs are cost effective, manufacturable, serviceable, meet all performance objectives, & meet customer requirements.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor of Science (BS) in Engineering. Electrical Engineering preferred
  • Minimum 5 years of progressive engineering experience
  • Automotive, commercial and/or heavy-duty vehicle design familiarity. Direct experience a plus.
  • Fluent with BOM, documentation control, and revision/version management. Experience with a configure-to-order product and modular BOM management a plus.
  • Demonstrated working knowledge of harness design and formboard drawing creation with fluency in CAD software such as Zuken or Capital
  • Experience working with major component suppliers, engineering service suppliers, testing suppliers and product validation engineers
  • Fluent in the direct design of components including Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Service (DFS), and cost-efficiency (Value Engineering)
  • Hands-on experience with vehicle harnessing, component integration, discrete signals, CANbus, antenna systems, and voice & data radio systems.
  • Highly skilled in hands-on troubleshooting, product assembly, prototyping, testing, and validation-both on-site and remotely-utilizing diagnostic tools such as multimeters, power supplies, CANalyzer, and oscilloscopes to identify and resolve electrical system issues.
  • Knowledge of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) or stationary/mobile broadcast systems is highly beneficial.
  • Prior experience with Infotainment systems, Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), and Automatic Vehicle Monitoring (AVM) technologies is highly desirable
  • Experience in hands on troubleshooting of various electrical systems utilizing tools such as multimeters, power supplies, CANalyzer, Oscilloscopes, etc. in order to form conclusions around electrical system failures.
  • Strong technical background creating and maintaining detailed electrical documentation across multiple design platforms (Zuken E3, AutoCAD), with ability to effectively communicate design requirements to manufacturing teams, field service technicians, and system integrators.
  • Versatile team player who can effectively switch between detailed electrical design work, system integration tasks, and stakeholder communication, adapting quickly to changing priorities while maintaining high quality standards.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills focused around building collaborative relationships with transit technology vendors, transit agency departments, and other external partners, with emphasis in managing stakeholder communication during large-scale transit ITS implementations.
