Job Description

Job Description

ASI is expanding its teams to support its current ramp-up across development work, customer projects, and product deployments. This is a full-time W-2 contract position. The selected candidate will interview with ASI and work as an integrated member of the ASI team. W-2 employment, payroll, and benefits will be administered through one of ASI's staffing partners. Development phases of this nature typically span up to project completion (typically 2-4 years), though scope and duration are driven by business needs.JOB SUMMARYThe Electrical Designer II supports the design, documentation, integration, and release of electrical systems for ASI's autonomous reach stacker platforms. This role creates and maintains electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, harness documentation, panel layouts, installation details, bills of materials, and related technical documentation needed to build, test, and support autonomous heavy equipment.As a Level II designer, this position independently completes defined electrical design and documentation tasks while working under the guidance of electrical engineers and senior technical team members. The role supports the integration of sensors, computers, controllers, power distribution, communication networks, safety circuits, and vehicle interfaces required for autonomous reach stacker operation in container-handling and material-handling environments.ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIESCreate, update, and maintain electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, schematics,
