Electrical Systems Engineer (Hardware)

We are seeking an Electrical Systems Engineer who is motivated by hands-on product development and ownership from concept through production. This role is suited for someone who moves quickly values precision and thrives in a small accountable engineering environment.

You will work on-site in Torrance CA and report directly to the Manager of Electrical Systems Engineering. Collaboration across mechanical firmware and software teams is core to the role.

• Defining system requirements interfaces and architecture for the companys electrical subsystems.
• Developing and maintaining system diagrams including I/O maps and electrical and communication topology.
• Leading hardware trade studies and evaluating electrical and HMI components and suppliers.
• Working closely with all engineering teams to ensure cross-domain alignment.
• Participating in system-level integration and validation on full-boat builds.
• Leading troubleshooting for HV and LV systems cooling systems sensors and communication networks.
• Supporting DFMEA activities functional safety discussions and design reviews.
• Contributing to next-generation electrical architecture planning and platform scalability.

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics Systems Engineering or a related field
• 5 years of experience in electrical systems integration hardware development or system-level engineering
• Strong understanding of HV/LV electrical systems power distribution sensors cooling systems and communication networks (e.g. CAN)
• Hands-on experience debugging HV/LV systems cooling loops harnesses and embedded hardware interactions
• Experience developing system requirements interface definitions and architectural documentation
• Strong communication skills both written and verbal
• Ability to take ownership of problems drive them to closure and adapt quickly in a dynamic environment

• MCU ECU or VCU experience
• Power systems powertrain or inverter exposure
• ACDC or DCDC power conversion
• Experience defining system behavior not only wiring or layout
• Interest in software interaction not required to code

• Experience with EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing certification processes or external test labs
• Familiarity with functional safety concepts (e.g. hazard analysis safety goals fault handling) even if not formal ISO certification work
• Experience with trade studies or vendor evaluations for electrical components power electronics or HMI hardware
• Familiarity with EV marine robotics or aerospace electrical architectures
• Experience with simulation or system modeling tools (e.g. Vector Simulink PLECS LTSpice)
• Experience with DFMEA reliability engineering or design review processes
• Experience with HMI or user-input devices (joystick throttle buttons panels)
• Familiarity with OBCs chargers or HV device integration
