Electrical Engineering Early Development Team Leader- North America

This position will lead a Team of Engineers and Technicians to design, package, and release, per wire harness specifications to meet program timing. The teams will include Wiring, CAD Design & Packaging, Wiring Debug, IPC Gateway, High Voltage Wiring, I-Speed involving weekly program updates - status, timing, risks.

This process includes:

• Understanding the program changes.
• Assigning the mule team members to the project.
• Understanding which new modules/software/harnesses are required.
• Establishing the CAD group for packaging design.
• System Group (IPC) to develop software to operate new modules to surrogate vehicle.
• Conduct regular review meetings.
• Attend the prototype build engineering meetings.
• Review system changes and vehicle adaptation to incorporate modules/harnesses into mule vehicle/architecture.
• Develop integration modules to bridge surrogate vehicle, (build from) to new program mule vehicle (build to).
• Populate "I-speed" database to define module interfaces.
• Work with the suppliers to explain program changes and define delivery timing.
• Support Mule builds and triage Mule build issues.
• Regular updates on Mule build status to EHE team.
• Escalate any roadblocks efficiently.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering field.

• A minimum of 9 years of experience in automotive electrical systems with direct involvement in wiring harness design, packaging, release, or vehicle electrical integration.

• A minimum of 3 years of experience leading engineers/technicians and coordinating work across multiple sub-teams and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Hands-on knowledge of wire harness specifications, drawings, and build/release processes, including change management and issue triage.

• Experience supporting prototype/mule builds (planning, build support, debugging/triage, and rapid problem resolution).

• Working knowledge of electrical architecture integration (modules, interfaces, power/ground, network basics) and ability to bridge "build-from" surrogate vehicles to "build-to" program mules.

• Ability to plan and run regular technical reviews, provide weekly program status (timing, risks, issues), and escalate roadblocks with clear recommendations.

• Experience working with suppliers to communicate engineering changes and manage part/harness delivery timing to program milestones.

• Proficiency with common engineering productivity tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) for reporting and tracking.

• Ability to work on-site/in-vehicle as needed for build support, including occasional off-hours support during prototype build events.
