Job description

We are looking for humble geniuses, who believe that engineering has the potential to make the impossible possible; innovators, who are not only inspired by technology and innovation, but also perpetually driven to design, develop, and test as a trusted partner for Fortune 500 customers. As a team of remarkably diverse engineers, we recognize that what we are really engineering is a brighter future for us all. If you want to contribute to meaningful work and be part of an organization that truly believes when you win, we all win, and when you fail, we all learn, then we’re eager to hear from you. The achievers and courageous challenge-crushers we seek, have the following characteristics and skills

What You Will Do:

• Prepare, design, develop electrical application designs for complete heavy equipment vehicle electrical systems per customer specification, engineering standards, and previous designs.
• Develop electrical circuits and systems, including schematic and application drawings, for vehicle application, to meet customer requirements and design specifications.
• Provide support to manufacturing (not to exceed 10% of available time) for questions / corrections / modification related to vehicle electrical applications, resolve issues, and produce the appropriate design change documentation.
• Works with suppliers to understand and develop the application of electrical components, equipment, or systems to the vehicle.
• Analyze and interpret vehicle customer and engineering specifications to develop required electrical schematic and electrical applications.
• Manage, coordinate, and clearly communicate the status of all electrical application deliverables per customer order and manufacturing schedule.
• Conduct design reviews, as required, for all phases of electrical application development.
• Clearly and accurately produce all necessary documentation of electrical designs as required by Manufacturing and Product Design.
• Stay current with new electrical technology for potential impact in vehicle electrical system design.
• Organize workload in order to provide updates and status reports in a timely manner.
• Perform basic electrical design tasks including (but not limited to) circuit development, component selection, cable sizing, load analysis, BOM development, electrical load management, connection and interconnection design, and application development / design.

Skills and Abilities:

• Ability to read and understand vehicle electrical schematics and application drawings.
• Full understanding of circuit development within a physical schematic.
• Basic understanding of vehicle subsystems as they pertain to electrical development.
• Basic understanding of vehicle general arrangement and equipment.
• Above average oral and written communication skills.
• High level of analytical ability where problems are somewhat complex.
• Ability to work independently yet consistently execute to job schedules and milestone dates.

What You Will Bring:
