    Better Trucks. Better World.

    We're raising the standard for what a medium-duty truck should be - delivering vehicles, infrastructure, and support designed to work for you.

    About the Role

    • Own and develop the overall vehicle wiring architecture, including harness partitioning, electrical interfaces, grounding strategy, power distribution, and communication-network topology
    • Define how electrical components and systems are connected across the vehicle
    • Develop and maintain vehicle-level electrical block diagrams, wiring schematics, interface definitions, and architecture documentation using Capital Harness
    • Establish harness boundaries, inline-connector locations, routing strategies, and subsystem interfaces
    • Define circuit requirements, including wire sizing, voltage drop, fuse protection, shielding, grounding, and connector requirements
    • Manage wiring architecture across vehicle options, configurations, and future product variants
    • Work with component DREs, wiring DREs, electrical architecture, controls, mechanical packaging, manufacturing, service, and suppliers to ensure system compatibility
    • Optimize the wiring system for cost, mass, complexity, manufacturability, serviceability, and reliability
    • Support electrical DFMEAs, functional-safety reviews, EMC analysis, and system-level design reviews
    • Lead resolution of cross-functional electrical interface and wiring issues during vehicle development and validation
    • Support Mule, DV, PV, and production builds, including root-cause analysis and implementation of design improvements
    • Maintain configuration control and ensure wiring changes are properly incorporated across schematics, harness designs, vehicle documentation, and released components
