About this role

This is a high-agency, hands-on role where you will work on the architecture and integration of low voltage power and actuators in our autonomous vehicles. You will serve as the electrical lead for one or multiple subsystems, driving cross-functional decision-making that bridges the gap between hardware and software. This role demands high-level judgment to translate complex system interactions into clear, safety-first requirements. You will drive component designs from concept through implementation, defining validation strategies, and conducting system testing. Beyond the desk, you will implement prototypes, system bringup on bucks, lead deep-dive debugs, and support factory bringups to create the world’s most efficient and vertically integrated autonomous vehicles.

Responsibilities

Apply systems engineering principles to distill high-level objectives into quantifiable constraints and actionable requirements for hardware and software teams Develop code and scripts to solve complex integration problems, develop prototypes, automate workflows, and bridge gaps between subsystems Lead discussions among a wide variety of engineers specializing in electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing etc domains Define and execute hands-on vehicle-level test plans, utilizing data analysis to validate software features and hardware interactions and triage issues Actively develop AI-enabled workflows to accelerate decision-making, requirement setting, and feedback analysis Be responsible for the overall functional and performance maturity of a system and its features from early prototyping to full deployment Lead the triage and debugging of complex hardware and software interactions during design, launch, and deployment Exercise critical thinking and leadership to manage program priorities, support multiple projects simultaneously, and communicate technical risks to cross-functional stakeholders

Requirements

Degree in Electrical Engineering, or related field with a focus on embedded systems or equivalent experience Fluency in developing code to solve engineering problems (Python, C++, or similar). You must be comfortable building your own tools and simulations Demonstrated ability to use AI tools for engineering tasks, including requirement generation, code assistance, and data synthesis Strong "systems thinking" approach with the ability to understand n-th order impacts of software and process changes on the wider vehicle architecture Exceptional critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. You must be able to lead through influence and judgment 1-4 years of experience in systems integration, debugging complex subsystems, or software-defined hardware environments Proficiency in data visualization and analysis tools (MATLAB, Python, etc.) to drive engineering decisions Understanding of the hardware and software development lifecycle, including Functional Safety (HARA, FSC, TSC, System FMEA, FMEDA) and validation processes Familiarity with embedded systems (microcontroller architecture, comms protocols like SPI/I2C/CAN/Ethernet) and complex electro-mechanical systems (steering/braking vehicle systems, robotics/automation, or aerospace/drones) Hands-on experience in power conversion, motor controls (BLDC/BDC drivers), sensors (IMUs/encoders), or battery management systems (BMS)
