What You'll Do:

You’ll own the engineering design of Low Voltage Components through their entire lifecycle (e.g. Electronic Control Modules, Sensor Systems, Lighting Modules, etc). Your main crossfunctional interfaces will be with Electrical and Software Engineering, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality, and Program Management.

• Concept & Requirements: Support definition of critical interfaces with mechanical, electrical and software systems. Perform proof of concept studies and create prototypes to validate initial assumptions. Collect and document component requirements
• Sourcing & Supplier Selection: Benchmark available off the shelf components. Support creation of Request for Quote (RFQ) packages and Statements of Work (SOW) with Supply Chain colleagues, and support supplier assessment.
• Design, Development, & Validation: Lead technical development of your component utilizing both in-house capabilities and supplier resources. Ensure design iterations are appropriately documented and communicated via 3D CAD, electrical specifications, etc. Ensure the component schedule is accurate, flag lead-time risk early and keep supplier deliveries on track for prototype and production builds. Document the Design Validation Plan (DVP) with the supplier and review test results to ensure product quality.
• Production Launch: Collect and maintain all necessary documentation to release your components within the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. Support Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and Start of Production (SOP) activities for your component.
• Sustaining Engineering: Drive continuous improvement to cost, quality, and functionality of your components. Lead root cause activities for plant and field issues, and support supplier quality issues. Initiate and manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) as necessary.

What You'll Need (Qualifications)

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience: Internship or extracurricular experience in product engineering, electrical or electromechanical design, system engineering, or technical program management, specifically focused on automotive electromechanical control systems or wire harnesses.
• Software Proficiency: Experience with 3D CAD tools (e.g. CATIA, Solidworks, NX, or similar)
• Technical Acumen: Solid understanding of low voltage electrical principles, mechanical packaging concepts, and automotive durability factors. Basic understanding of automotive connectors and pinouts. Automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) are a plus
• Project Management Skills: Ability to identify, track, and communicate key project milestones and activities
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, capable of bridging the gap between hardware, software, and non-technical teams.

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Prior experience working at an early-stage electric vehicle startup.
• Experience in SAE Collegiate Design Series (FSAE, Baja, etc)
