Electrical Wiring Architect

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

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• 7–10 years of automotive electrical or wiring-harness engineering experience
• Experience with Capital Harness software suite
• Strong understanding of vehicle electrical distribution systems, wiring topology, grounding, circuit protection, and network architecture
• Experience developing full-vehicle wiring architectures across multiple vehicle configurations
• Knowledge of low-voltage and high-voltage electrical systems, including separation, shielding, grounding, and interface requirements
• Experience with electrical schematic and harness-development tools such as Capital, VeSys, or equivalent
• Understanding of automotive development processes, including Mule, DV, PV, and production launch
• Working knowledge of automotive wiring standards, connector systems, EMC requirements, and design-for-manufacturing principles
• Ability to coordinate technical decisions across multiple engineering teams, suppliers, and vehicle programs
