Job description

Job Summary

The Electrical Distribution Systems Engineer is responsible for defining and driving the enterprise-level end-to-end strategy, architecture, execution, transformations and delivery of LV and HV electrical distribution systems across all EV/HEV/ICE platforms.

This role goes beyond conventional EDS leadership; it requires redefining how electrical power is generated, distributed, controlled, and optimized across next-generation EV platforms.

This role provides technical and organizational leadership, ensuring scalable, safe, cost-optimized, and future-ready electrical architectures aligned with business goals.

You will drive a shift toward:

• Software-defined electrical architectures
• Radical simplification of harness systems
• Integrated hardware-software power management
• Step-change improvements in cost, weight, and manufacturability

This is a high-impact leadership role requiring strong technical depth, organizational leadership, and a bias for first-principles disruption of legacy automotive practices.
