Senior Electrical Systems Lead: Defense Vehicle Architecture

General Motors Company; Warren (MI); Hybride; USD 120 000 - 180 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

GM Defense seeks an Electrical System Engineer to define and integrate electrical systems for government programs and special projects. You will translate government and mission requirements into vehicle-level electrical architectures, spanning high- and low-voltage power, interfaces, and subsystem integration.

You will collaborate with multiple domains to develop vehicle designs that meet program requirements.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical/Mechanical/Systems Engineering or related discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in electrical systems, vehicle electrical engineering, controls, harnesses, power distribution, embedded systems, or a related field.
• Experience with high-voltage and/or electrified vehicle systems, including power distribution, interfaces, cables, protection, grounding, and safety.
• Experience developing or reviewing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, interface documents, or system block diagrams.
• Working knowledge of vehicle communications and networked systems, such as CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, or Ethernet.
• Experience analyzing requirements, managing interface dependencies, and making technical decisions in ambiguous or complex environments.
• Strong problem-solving, technical writing, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Electrical circuit board experience (Breadboarding, robotics, Arduino, etc.)
• Deep understanding of Alternating Current (AC) theory and principles (Power Factor, Rectifiers, Inverters, etc.)
• Advanced/execution-level DRE, VSE, and/or architecture experience, with a thorough understanding of manufacturing processes.
• Extensive level of analytical ability where problems are unusual, difficult or complex.
• Ability to work as needed at the Milford Proving Grounds, travel as required and legally operate a motor vehicle.
• Candidate must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee or refugee).

Responsabilités

• Lead electrical architecture definition for new and derivative defense vehicle platforms.
• Translate government, customer, mission, and vehicle requirements into electrical system requirements, architecture decisions, and interface definitions.
• Define vehicle-level electrical topologies, power distribution, network architecture, system boundaries, and low-voltage power-management concepts.
• Architect and integrate high-voltage systems, including batteries, power conversion, propulsion interfaces, high-voltage cables, contactors, service disconnects, grounding, shielding, and safety features.
• Define interfaces among ECUs, sensors, actuators, power electronics, controllers, displays, communication networks, and mission equipment.
• Define low-voltage power distribution, circuit protection, wake-up and shutdown behavior, grounding, connector strategy, and electrical load-management concepts.
• Develop and review schematics, wiring concepts, interface control documents, netlists, block diagrams, and architecture specifications.
• Evaluate commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and custom technologies, balancing technical performance, mission suitability, supply risk, integration complexity, cost, and schedule.
• Develop and review schematics, wiring concepts, interface control documents, netlists, block diagrams, and architecture specifications.
• Identify and resolve cross-functional electrical issues, including interface conflicts, power-quality concerns, electromagnetic compatibility risks, network limitations, thermal constraints, and packaging conflicts.
• Ensure architecture decisions support applicable automotive, defense, functional-safety, cybersecurity, electromagnetic compatibility, and export-control requirements.
• Support proposals, statements of work, technical volumes, compliance matrices, and customer presentations while providing technical leadership to engineers and suppliers.
• Ensure designs meet applicable automotive, defense, functional-safety, cybersecurity, EMI/EMC, export-control, and ITAR requirements, support component packaging and design studies.
