  • Design wire harnesses, cable routing, and electrical interfaces for high-reliability applications
  • Develop and integrate embedded controllers using STM32 or similar platforms
  • Implement CAN Bus, Ethernet, Modbus, I2C, and SPI communications
  • Support electrical systems operating at 1,500V DC and above
  • Apply EMC and EMI mitigation techniques within high-voltage systems
  • Conduct system and subsystem testing, including automated test development
  • Integrate controllers and embedded systems with mechanical and software teams
  • Support Linux-based system configuration and embedded software integration
  • Partner with production engineering on DFM and production optimization
  • Troubleshoot electrical integration and test issues during prototype builds

  • Knowledge of wire harness design and cable-routing principles
  • Experience designing for vibration, temperature, EMC, and EMI requirements
  • Basic Linux experience
  • Familiarity with automated electrical testing
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on prototype, test, and production environment
  • Able to work independently in a fast-moving engineering organization
Preferred Experience
  • Battery-electric vehicle, BMS, marine, industrial, locomotive, or rail experience
  • Safety-critical systems experience, including ISO 26262 or EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129
  • Experience designing EN 50155-compliant electronic equipment
  • High-voltage electrical safety and protection-system experience
