EV.Careers is currently seeking a direct hire Senior Electrical Engineer for one of our partners, a manufacturer of heavy-duty specialty vehicles used in large-scale logistics and industrial operations, building across diesel, gas, and battery electric platforms. In this position, you will own electrical design end to end: functional diagram, schematics, harness design, and then out to the floor to build the prototype and make it work. There is no team that hands you a schematic and no team that turns your drawing into a harness. One engineer carries the whole thing, which means you touch every part of the vehicle rather than one slice of it. On site in the Southeastern United States.
Responsibilities
Develop the electrical and controls systems for a full line of heavy-duty vehicles and trailers
Take designs the whole way: functional diagram, schematic, harness design, release, and prototype build
Solve the problems that only show up on the build floor, and feed what you learn back into the design
Own the electrical standards, best practices, and ways of working, and keep improving them as the product line evolves
Build the scope of work, schedules, and task lists for electrical and controls development projects
Direct external design resources and coordinate with suppliers on component procurement for prototype and production builds
Partner with the prototype department on the right tooling and inventory levels for harness assembly
Handle the engineering work that comes with custom customer orders
Work cross-functionally across the whole vehicle rather than inside a single subsystem
Requirements
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. This one is firm, and an Engineering Technology degree will not substitute.
Minimum 10 years of relevant engineering experience
Hands-on electrical design experience across the full range: functional diagrams, schematics, and harness design
Experience supporting a manufacturing environment and building prototypes
Comfortable working on a production floor: PPE required, with walking, standing, crouching, and lifting up to 50 lbs
Willing to travel domestically and internationally
Able to commit to a flexible schedule
Able to work on site full time in the Southeastern United States
Able to pass a pre-employment drug screen (drug-free workplace)
Preferred Qualifications
Creo Schematics experienceHigh voltage experience on electrified platforms
Background in construction, agricultural, off-highway, material handling, or commercial vehicle electrical
