• Hands-on experience using CAD tools for electrical design, specifically AutoCAD and SolidWorks.
• Ability to design and document electrical routings and layouts for complex vehicles or similar products.
• Strong understanding of electrical system components, wire harness construction, and routing best practices.
• Capability to troubleshoot electrical systems on prototype vehicles and translate findings into design improvements.
• Effective communication skills to work with engineers, drafters, and manufacturing personnel.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate, clear, and complete electrical drawings.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) or Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) is highly desirable.
• Solid internship or co-op experience in electrical design, preferably involving wire harnesses or vehicle electrical systems.
• Experience working with high-end vehicles, motor coaches, or similar complex products is a plus.
• Ability to collaborate in a team-oriented engineering environment and contribute to continuous improvement of designs and processes.
