Staff Hardware Engineer, EDS & Harness (Autonomous EVs)

Remote; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Stack AV in Pittsburgh, PA, seeks an experienced Electrical Engineer to own the EDS and wiring harness architecture for autonomous vehicle platforms. Expect on-site work at our New Stanton, PA site with some travel to manufacturing and supplier locations. Remote work may be considered case-by-case.

Responsibilities include developing schematics, harness drawings, BOMs, and documentation, plus conducting analyses for low/high-voltage systems and leading design reviews through production release.

Qualifications

• BS in electrical engineering, electrical engineering technology, computer engineering, automotive engineering, or related field; advanced degree is a plus.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant electrical distribution system, wiring harness, automotive, commercial vehicle, aerospace, robotics, or industrial equipment experience; 8+ years preferred for Staff-level scope.
• Certifications and Standards: IPC/WHMA-A-620 training or certification, SAE/AIAG credentials, Six Sigma, or equivalent credentials are a plus.
• Demonstrated experience taking vehicle or complex-machine harnesses from requirements and architecture through design release, prototype builds, validation, and production support.
• Expertise with EDS architecture, circuit protection, wire sizing, voltage drop, grounding, connectors and terminals, shielding, splices, routing, retention, service loops, and harness packaging.
• Proficiency with electrical schematics and harness design tools such as Capital, CATIA, Siemens NX, Zuken, AutoCAD Electrical, or comparable ECAD/MCAD and PLM systems.
• Working knowledge of CAN/CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, J1939, vehicle diagnostics, EMI/EMC, and SAE/USCAR/IPC/WHMA-A-620, ISO 26262, IATF 16949 practices.
• DFM/DFA, APQP/PPAP, FMEA, supplier collaboration, and developing engineering processes in a startup or greenfield environment is desired.
• Strong troubleshooting, systems thinking, technical documentation, and data-driven problem-solving skills; able to influence cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Own the EDS and wiring harness architecture, including power distribution, grounding, circuit protection, signal integrity, and network interfaces.
• Develop and release schematics, wiring diagrams, pinouts, harness drawings, BOMs, and installation documentation using ECAD/MCAD and PLM tools.
• Perform wire sizing, voltage-drop, current-capacity, fuse, relay, connector, terminal, and grounding analyses for low-voltage and high-voltage circuits.
• Partner with systems, electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and supplier teams to resolve integration issues and deliver buildable harness designs.
• Lead design reviews, electrical interface definition, change control, and configuration management from early concept through production-intent hardware.
• Define and execute harness verification and validation plans, including continuity, insulation, hipot, network, EMI/EMC, environmental, and vehicle-level testing.
