Job Summary
As an EDS Integration Engineer for the Advanced EV Team you will be at the forefront of defining the nervous system for our next-generation Model e products. You will be responsible for the end-to-end vehicle-side electrical wire harness design and physical integration serving as a critical link between architectural theory and vehicle reality. This role is essential to the development of a Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) where you will optimize the intersection of hardware software and mechanical packaging. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the harness architecture is efficient manufacturable and robust while remaining hands-on during lab-car and vehicle bring-up phases to troubleshoot and validate your designs.
Responsibilities
What youll be able to do:
Zonal Architecture Leadership: Drive the electrical wiring system design from concept to production focusing on the transition toward Zonal power and data distribution to minimize mass and maximize vehicle efficiency.
Multi-Voltage & Power Distribution: Architect and integrate diverse voltage platforms leading wire sizing fuse coordination and terminal selection based on steady-state and transient power profiles to ensure robust power delivery.
High-Speed Data Management: Design for signal integrity across the vehicles data backbone managing shielded circuits for ADAS sensors Automotive Ethernet and other high-bandwidth communication protocols.
System Optimization & Partitioning: Partner with Subsystem engineers to establish harness partitioning and complexity strategies to minimize wire count optimize cost and reduce weightcritical metrics for EV range.
Functional Safety & Topology: Influence the design of grounding and network topologies while collaborating on Functional Safety (ISO 26262) assessments to ensure the EDS architecture supports safety-critical features.
ECAD Schematic Development: Develop logical and physical electrical schematics using professional ECAD tools (e.g. Capital Zuken) owning the technical resolution of integration issues as they arise.
Hands-on Integration & Bring-up: Support Labcar and prototype vehicle builds as the primary lead for electrical bring-up circuit troubleshooting and validating system-level changes in a real-world environment.
Manufacturing & Innovation: Review 2D drawings and 3D routing to ensure supplier readiness while investigating new harness technologies (e.g. busbars or automated manufacturing) to push the boundaries of EV design.
Qualifications
Minimum Requirements:
Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics Engineering or a related technical field.
5 years of experience in EDS design and development within the automotive aerospace or complex robotics industries.
5 years of hands-on experience with professional EDS ECAD tooling (e.g. Mentor Capital Zuken E3 or Vector Preevision).
Proven experience in a mass-production environment taking a product from initial concept through Job 1/launch.
Deep understanding of Electrical Engineering fundamentals (Ohms Law voltage drop thermal management and circuit protection).
Preferred Requirements:
Advanced EV Expertise: Experience with High Voltage (HV) DC power distribution and the challenges of integrating diverse voltage architectures.
Data Integrity: Familiarity with high-speed data requirements including shielding twisting and connector selection for Automotive Ethernet or LVDS.
Prototyping Skills: Experience with vehicle instrumentation (data loggers current clamps oscilloscopes) in a controlled lab or test-track environment.
Agile Mindset: Familiarity with Confluence and Jira for task management in a fast-paced iterative development cycle.
Complexity Management: Demonstrated ability to manage high-variant harness architectures and feature-to-pin mapping.
Analytical Rigor: Experience performing DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to ensure long-term reliability.
Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills with an eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic high-performing team environment
