Job summary

EV.Careers is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to own electrical design end-to-end for heavy-duty vehicles. You will create functional diagrams, schematics, and harness designs, then prototype and validate on the factory floor on-site in the southeastern United States.

The ideal candidate has a BS in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years of hands-on experience, with willingness to travel domestically and internationally and to lead electrical standards across the product line.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering; Engineering Technology degrees do not substitute.
• 10+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• Hands-on electrical design across functional diagrams, schematics, and harness design.
• Experience supporting a manufacturing environment and building prototypes.
• Willing to travel domestically and internationally; able to work on site in the southeastern United States; pass a pre-employment drug screen.

Responsibilities

• Develop the electrical and controls systems for a full line of heavy-duty vehicles and trailers.
• Take designs the whole way: functional diagram, schematic, harness design, release, and prototype build.
• Solve problems that appear on the build floor and feed learnings back into design.
• Own the electrical standards, best practices, and ways of working; improve them as the product line evolves.
• Build scope of work, schedules, and task lists for electrical and controls development projects.
• Direct external design resources and coordinate with suppliers on component procurement for prototype and production builds.
• Partner with the prototype department on tooling and inventory levels for harness assembly.
• Handle engineering work for custom customer orders.
• Work cross-functionally across the whole vehicle.

Job description

EV.Careers is currently seeking a direct hire Senior Electrical Engineer for one of our partners, a manufacturer of heavy-duty specialty vehicles used in large-scale logistics and industrial operations, building across diesel, gas, and battery electric platforms. In this position, you will own electrical design end to end: functional diagram, schematics, harness design, and then out to the floor to build the prototype and make it work. There is no team that hands you a schematic and no team that turns your drawing into a harness. One engineer carries the whole thing, which means you touch every part of the vehicle rather than one slice of it. On site in the southeastern United States.

Responsibilities

• Develop the electrical and controls systems for a full line of heavy-duty vehicles and trailers
• Take designs the whole way: functional diagram, schematic, harness design, release, and prototype build
• Solve the problems that only show up on the build floor, and feed what you learn back into the design
• Own the electrical standards, best practices, and ways of working, and keep improving them as the product line evolves
• Build the scope of work, schedules, and task lists for electrical and controls development projects
• Direct external design resources and coordinate with suppliers on component procurement for prototype and production builds
• Partner with the prototype department on the right tooling and inventory levels for harness assembly
• Handle the engineering work that comes with custom customer orders
• Work cross-functionally across the whole vehicle rather than inside a single subsystem

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. This one is firm, and an Engineering Technology degree will not substitute
• Minimum 10 years of relevant engineering experience
• Hands-on electrical design experience across the full range: functional diagrams, schematics, and harness design
• Experience supporting a manufacturing environment and building prototypes
• Comfortable working on a production floor: PPE required, with walking, standing, crouching, and lifting up to 50 lbs
• Willing to travel domestically and internationally
• Able to commit to a flexible schedule
• Able to work on site full time in the southeastern United States
• Able to pass a pre-employment drug screen (drug-free workplace)

Preferred Qualifications

• Creo Schematics experience
• High voltage experience on electrified platforms
• Background in construction, agricultural, off-highway, material handling, or commercial vehicle electrical
• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
• Trailer electrical experience: lighting, ABS, 7-way, telematics, harness routing in harsh environments
• Experience coordinating external design houses and suppliers

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family
• Retirement plan with employer match
• Vacation and paid holidays
• Genuine breadth: you work across every aspect of the vehicle instead of one subsystem, which is unusual at this level
• A growing product line, a business with real momentum in its market, and expansion plans that include manufacturing internationally
• Cost of living well below the major automotive metros
