+ Manage electrical system design release activities and deadlines, prioritizing tasks effectively across multiple concurrent programs.

+ Develop and support electrical system variants to enable different feature levels and product configurations across vehicle platforms.

+ Ensure electrical system designs meet manufacturability requirements by working closely with manufacturing teams and supporting Design‑For‑Manufacturing activities.

+ Engage with validation and field support teams to troubleshoot issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive issues to resolution.

+ Coordinate with project teams to manage electrical system timelines and support vehicle bill‑of‑materials development.

+ Collaborate with suppliers to develop new electrical designs, processes, and components.

+ Support prototype vehicle builds and provides hands-on assistance as needed.

+ Provide mechanical design support related to the electrical system, including brackets, interfaces, bolted joints, and related features.

+ Minimum of 1 year of design experience in a related engineering field.

+ Proficiency with mechanical CAD tools; experience with electrical CAD tools is preferred.

+ Experience with new product design and development, including complex system integration.

+ Understanding of electrical fundamentals and strong mechanical aptitude.

+ Experience routing cables or flexible components in a vehicle or equipment environment preferred.

+ Ability to manage detail and complexity across multiple programs while meeting release timelines.

+ Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills in English.

+ Ability to work with domestic and international suppliers and technology partners.

+ Ability to travel domestically and internationally as required.
