Descripción de la vacante

Hendrick Motorsports in Concord, NC seeks an Electrical Engineer to own the car's 12V architecture and lead design from concept through validation. You will design wire harnesses and PCBs, release changes under configuration control, and troubleshoot faults using schematics and data logs.

The role blends shop and lab work, requiring hands-on testing with DAQ, PLCs, and test machines, plus occasional race-event support and travel. A BS in engineering with 3–5 years of experience is expected.

Formación

• Bachelor's in engineering and 3–5 years of experience.
• Analog and digital circuit design with soldering and test skills (including SMD).
• Working knowledge of DMMs and oscilloscopes.
• PCB design experience (Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD or similar).
• Experience with low-voltage harness design and motorsport or Mil-Spec connectors (Autosport, Souriau, DTM/DT/DTP).
• Experience with DAQ and PLC test automation, and electro-hydraulic test systems.

Responsabilidades

• Own and improve the car's 12V electrical architecture: power distribution, grounding, protection, wiring, connectors, sensors, and control modules.
• Design wire harnesses and PCBs, and release changes under configuration control.
• Troubleshoot intermittent and repeatable faults using schematics, measurements, and data logs.
• Set up and integrate motorsport control, PDM, and data acquisition systems over CAN, LIN, and other networks.
