Job description

Description

ASI is expanding its teams to support its current ramp-up across development work, customer projects, and product deployments. This is a full-time W-2 contract position. The selected candidate will interview with ASI and work as an integrated member of the ASI team. W-2 employment, payroll, and benefits will be administered through one of ASI's staffing partners. Development phases of this nature typically span up to project completion (typically 2-4 years), though scope and duration are driven by business needs.

JOB SUMMARY

The Electrical Engineer IV is responsible for designing, integrating, and validating low-voltage electrical systems used in ASI's autonomous vehicle platforms. This role focuses on component selection, wire harness design, and system-level electrical integration to support the reliable operation of robotic vehicle systems.

As a Level IV engineer, this position leads subsystem-level electrical integration efforts, collaborates closely with mechanical and embedded software teams, and supports testing and validation through hardware-in-the-loop and field testing activities. The role plays a key part in ensuring ASI's autonomous platforms operate safely and reliably across diverse operating environments.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, select, and integrate electrical components used in low-voltage vehicle systems
• Develop and maintain detailed wire harness designs using tools such as Zuken
• Lead electrical integration efforts for assigned subsystems across autonomous vehicle platforms
• Perform hardware diagnostics and validation using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN communication tools
• Collaborate with embedded software and mechanical engineering teams to ensure successful system integration
• Conduct validation using hardware-in-the-loop systems and support vehicle field testing activities
• Work closely with vendors and purchasing teams to evaluate and procure electrical components
• Identify integration challenges and troubleshoot issues discovered during testing or field deployments
• Document electrical designs, validation results, and integration procedures using version control and documentation tools such as Git or EPDM
• Contribute to engineering reviews and ensure designs meet safety and compliance requirements
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on subsystem integration activities

ESSENTIAL EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, JOB SKILLS

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5 to 10 years of experience designing and integrating electrical systems for vehicles, robotics platforms, or complex electromechanical systems
• Strong understanding of low-voltage vehicle electrical systems (typically under 60V)
• Experience designing and documenting wire harness systems
• Proficiency with electrical design and integration tools such as Zuken or similar platforms
• Experience using hardware diagnostic tools including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN communication tools
• Familiarity with embedded systems and basic firmware concepts
• Experience using version control systems such as Git
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills when working with cross-functional engineering teams

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• Experience working with autonomous vehicles, robotics systems, or heavy equipment platforms
• Experience supporting hardware-in-the-loop validation and field testing activities
• Familiarity with Altium Designer or similar electrical design tools
• Experience collaborating with suppliers and managing component procurement
