Job description

Job Title: Exterior Lighting Electrical Design and Release Engineer
Job Description:
The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the execution and delivery of electrical engineering work for assigned vehicle or subsystem programs from early development through launch and production readiness. This role supports the design, validation, release, and issue resolution of electrical and electronic content, with a strong emphasis on hands-on troubleshooting, electrical bench testing, supplier engagement, interface definition, and program execution.
The engineer works cross-functionally with internal engineering teams, validation teams and suppliers to ensure robust electrical system performance and on-time delivery. Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, disciplined execution, and the ability to identify design risks early, drive corrective actions, and maintain alignment to program timing.
Key Responsibilities:
Hands-on troubleshooting and root cause investigation
Electrical engineering execution
Electrical bench testing and validation support
Program timing and execution discipline
Supplier design reviews and issue detection
Lead and participate in supplier design reviews to evaluate electrical design maturity, technical feasibility, interface compatibility, and compliance with requirements.
Critically review supplier schematics, circuit designs, interface definitions, test plans, and technical documentation with the ability to understand the design and detect issues.
Challenge assumptions, identify technical gaps, and provide clear feedback to improve supplier deliverables before issues reach later program phases.
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science or a related engineering discipline.
At least 5-7 years of experience, closer to 7 is preferred.
Experience in electrical engineering, product development, validation, or issue resolution in an automotive, transportation, or similarly complex technical environment.
Strong understanding of electrical circuits, interfaces, signal behavior, grounding, power distribution, and component interaction to effectively troubleshoot issues on vehicle.
Demonstrated hands-on troubleshooting capability with electrical systems and hardware.
Experience performing or supporting electrical bench testing and interpreting test results.
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
Ability to travel locally as required to support testing, supplier reviews, builds, or launch activities.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with automotive electrical exterior lighting architecture and electronic modules
Previous experience developing block diagrams and schematics.
Experience with GMW DV/PV, subsystem validation, launch support, and production issue resolution.
Experience working directly / leading suppliers in design, validation, and issue resolution reviews.
Hiring Manager's Top Skills:
Previous electrical schematic design or electrical hardware design (preferred from scratch, need to create design/schematic and get it into production)
Being able to understand components, how to apply them, read schematics
True hands-on troubleshooting vehicles and understanding how to use electrical analysis tools to detect what issues may be going on with vehicles (for example - any kind of CAN tools)
