Location: Berkeley, CA
We are looking for an electrical harness engineer who can play a key role in the development of our battery module electronics and control systems. You will be part of a rapidly growing team responsible for PCBA design, component selection, wire harness designs, and validation testing. Ideally, the harness engineer should have exposure to a broad range of technical challenges and methods in the context of product development, including connector selection, cable shielding, twisted pair communication wires, cable protection, and harness routing. Cross-team collaboration throughout the product development organization is a critical part of this role, so systems-level thinking and multidisciplinary engineering problem-solving are key traits of a successful candidate.
Responsibilities
Work cross-functionally with Mechanical, Compliance, and Electrical engineers to define harness requirements, material, and connector selection
Create and maintain 2D electrical harness single and multi-line schematics
Draft fabrication, manufacturing, inspection, and assembly drawings for wire harness assemblies
Identify suitable materials and components for wire harness assembly
Work closely with procurement teams to source materials and components from approved suppliers
Define routing, shielding, wire color, sealing, and EMI design specifications
Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers on wire harness CAD routing through mechanical features and harness fixation points
Troubleshoot wire harness bring-up and validation
Communicate project progress, challenges, and solutions effectively to team members and management
Qualifications
A Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical OR Electrical Engineering
2+ years experience in product development (experience in energy storage or renewable energy is a plus)
Hands-on experience designing and building electro-mechanical systems and harnesses
Expertise with 3D CAD, PLM, and Harness design software such as Zuken E3.
Proven expertise in 2D drawing creation software
Strong knowledge of industry-specific regulations and standards (e.g., UL, IPC)
Familiarity with reading electrical schematics
Experience with twisted pair and shielding for communication harnesses
Experience working with weather-sealed connectors
Salary Range
$115,000-135,000
The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate's combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience
