Primary Responsibilities
- Lead all aspects of electrical system integration, including requirements definition, architecture, interface management, and design validation.
- Own the development and execution of integration strategies across electrical, mechanical, and software teams.
- Provide technical direction and mentorship to electrical engineering and integration teams.
- Ensure proper electrical connectivity, power distribution, signal integrity, grounding, and EMC/EMI compliance across subsystems.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to identify and resolve integration issues early in the design cycle.
- Lead system bring-up, debug, and root cause analysis for integration-related issues.
- Drive the integration timeline and deliverables within the overall project schedule.
- Develop and maintain interface control documents (ICDs), schematics, and wiring diagrams.
- Support prototype and production builds with hands-on integration support and troubleshooting.
- Develop and execute electrical test plans for system-level verification and validation.
- Support environmental and regulatory testing (e.g., EMC, electrical safety, functional tests).
- Ensure integration documentation is current, accurate, and compliant with internal standards and external regulations.
- Contribute to risk assessments and design reviews from an integration standpoint.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred).
- 8 years of experience in electrical design and integration, with at least 2–3 years in a lead or senior engineering role.
- Strong knowledge of analog/digital circuit design, power systems, communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C), and signal integrity.
- Hands-on experience with system integration, debug tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), and test instrumentation.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical teams through integration challenges.
- Background in industries such as aerospace, automotive, robotics, or consumer electronics.
- Experience with CAD tools (e.g., Altium, Mentor Graphics) and simulation software.
- Familiarity with systems engineering principles and tools (e.g., DOORS, MBSE).
- Knowledge of functional safety (e.g., ISO 26262) and regulatory compliance.
