EV.Careers is currently seeking a direct hire Senior Electrical Engineer for one of our partners, a manufacturer of heavy-duty specialty vehicles used in large-scale logistics and industrial operations, building across diesel, gas, and battery electric platforms. In this position, you will own electrical design end to end: functional diagram, schematics, harness design, and then out to the floor to build the prototype and make it work. There is no team that hands you a schematic and no team that turns your drawing into a harness. One engineer carries the whole thing, which means you touch every part of the vehicle rather than one slice of it. On site in the Southeastern United States.
Responsibilities
- Develop the electrical and controls systems for a full line of heavy-duty vehicles and trailers
- Take designs the whole way: functional diagram, schematic, harness design, release, and prototype build
- Solve the problems that only show up on the build floor, and feed what you learn back into the design
- Own the electrical standards, best practices, and ways of working, and keep improving them as the product line evolves
- Build the scope of work, schedules, and task lists for electrical and controls development projects
- Direct external design resources and coordinate with suppliers on component procurement for prototype and production builds
- Partner with the prototype department on the right tooling and inventory levels for harness assembly
- Handle the engineering work that comes with custom customer orders
- Work cross-functionally across the whole vehicle rather than inside a single subsystem
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. This one is firm, and an Engineering Technology degree will not substitute
- Minimum 10 years of relevant engineering experience
- Hands-on electrical design experience across the full range: functional diagrams, schematics, and harness design
- Experience supporting a manufacturing environment and building prototypes
- Comfortable working on a production floor: PPE required, with walking, standing, crouching, and lifting up to 50 lbs
- Willing to travel domestically and internationally
- Able to commit to a flexible schedule
- Able to work on site full time in the Southeastern United States
- Able to pass a pre-employment drug screen (drug-free workplace)
Preferred Qualifications
- Creo Schematics experience
- High voltage experience on electrified platforms
- Background in construction, agricultural, off-highway, material handling, or commercial vehicle electrical
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
- Trailer electrical experience: lighting, ABS, 7-way, telematics, harness routing in harsh environments
- Experience coordinating external design houses and suppliers
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family
- Retirement plan with employer match
- Vacation and paid holidays
- Genuine breadth: you work across every aspect of the vehicle instead of one subsystem, which is unusual at this level
- A growing product line, a business with real momentum in its market, and expansion plans that include manufacturing internationally
- Cost of living well below the major automotive metros
