Electrical Engineer

Electrical Engineer ProficientWe are seeking an Electrical Engineer Proficient to support the design, integration, testing, and troubleshooting of electrical subsystems for small robots and ground-based vehicles. The role involves working closely with senior electrical and mechanical engineers to develop reliable electrical system architectures and implement hardware solutions. Key responsibilities include designing electrical topologies for drive-by-wire systems, defining component placement and connectivity, and performing harness design and pin mapping (including reverse-engineering existing systems where applicable). The engineer will also build, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify wiring harnesses and electrical systems while applying principles of electronics, electrical circuitry, and testing methodologies. The role may also involve programming embedded or electronic modules, supporting system bring-up, and working with developmental electronic components and test equipment. The engineer will typically work under the guidance of senior staff while operating with increasing independence and technical proficiency.Essential Duties and Responsibilities:Design electrical system diagrams, including wiring harnesses and schematicsCollaborate with cross-functional engineers on harness routing and electronic module placementDevelop and support embedded module programming (C and basic logic-based programming)Assemble, test, and validate wiring harnesses, electronic modules, and electrical componentsTroubleshoot electrical prototypes and resolve functional issuesDiagnose electrical and mechanical failures in operational equipment and implement corrective actionsInterpret wiring diagrams, layout drawings, and engineering specifications for system modificationsRepair and replace defective circuitry and electronic components using hand tools and soldering equipmentTest electronic units using standard test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, protocol analyzers, power supplies)Analyze test results and recommend adjustments or design improvementsDocument electrical testing activities and support preventive maintenance and calibration activitiesStay current with industry tools, technologies, and best practices through training and researchEssential Education, Skills & Experience:Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)5+ years of experience in electronics systems integration and troubleshootingStrong hands-on experience with test equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, protocol analyzers, power supplies)Experience in CAD and circuit design toolsKnowledge of harness building and testing per IPC/WHMA-A-620 standardsUnderstanding of electrical wire routing and system integrationBasic mechanical assembly experience preferredExperience using hand tools and soldering equipmentProficiency with standard office tools (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)Physical Requirements:Ability to lift and/or move up to 50 lbs occasionallyFrequent standing, walking, bending, sitting, and use of handsAbility to work around heavy equipment and climb on/off machineryAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
