Wire Harness Engineer

Job Description: TPV-Mule Systems Integration Engineer

Lead the electrical and functional "bring-up" of prototype Mule vehicles by integrating new hardware, software, and surrogate components to ensure breadboard, yellow board and vehicle functionality for validation testing.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

· Systems Integration

o Integrate new hardware and software components (EDS/Wiring, Modules, MUX signals, and Translator Boxes) into prototype vehicles to enable full system functionality.

o Perform end-to-end system bring-up activities including power-up sequencing, signal validation, and functional verification.

· Electrical & Schematic Expertise

o Develop, obtain, and markup electrical schematics and wire harness drawings to support integration of hardware onto TPV-Mule vehicles.

o Interpret complex electrical schematics and harness diagrams to support system integration, issue resolution, and design validation.

o Analyze complete vehicle wiring architectures, including harness routing, signal paths, power distribution, grounding, and interface points.

· Technical Analysis & Validation

o Collect and review Device Transmittals (DTs) from design engineers to ensure component compatibility and integration readiness.

o Conduct system-level troubleshooting and root cause analysis for electrical and communication issues during prototype builds.

· Surrogate & Compatibility Management

o Select appropriate TPV-Mule surrogate components when production parts are unavailable.

o Perform gap analysis and compatibility reviews between surrogate/bridging parts and Production Intent (PI) schematics and designs.

· Network Communication & Diagnostics

o Utilize CANalyzer (and/or CANoe) for system-level communication analysis, including CAN bus monitoring, message decoding, signal validation, and ECU interaction.

o Debug network-level issues across vehicle communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.

o Validate ECU communication and ensure proper integration within the overall vehicle network architecture.

Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

· 0-2 years (Junior), 2-5 Years (Intermediate), 5+ Years (Senior) of experience in automotive systems integration, electrical distribution systems (EDS), or prototype vehicle validation.

· Strong Electrical Engineering background with proven ability to read, interpret, and author electrical schematics.

· Comprehensive understanding of complete vehicle wiring systems, including signal flow, power distribution, and grounding strategies.

· Hands-on experience with CANalyzer for system-level communication analysis and debugging.

· Knowledge of automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.

· Excellent communication and documentation skills.

· Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple priorities.

· Available to work overtime on Weekends for first 3 months.
