Senior Vehicle Hardware Engineer – Electrical & System Integration (ADAS / AV)
Job Description
As a Senior Vehicle Hardware Engineer (Electrical & System Integration), you will serve as the technical lead for electrical architecture, power distribution, in-vehicle networking, and system-level hardware bring-up across our ADAS and autonomous test vehicle fleets. You will translate high-level software and perception requirements into reliable, automotive-grade electrical architectures and wire harness solutions.
Key Responsibilities
• Electrical Architecture & Power Design: Design low-voltage power distribution systems, including power sequencing, circuit protection, and battery backup solutions for high-performance compute nodes and sensor payloads.
• Harness & Interconnect Engineering: Design and oversee fabrication of automotive-grade wire harnesses, sensor cabling, and custom interconnect assemblies.
• Vehicle Networking & Synchronization: Integrate automotive communication buses (CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet, LIN) and high-speed sensor data links (GMSL2/3, FPD-Link) with hardware-level time synchronization (PTP/IEEE 802.1AS, PPS).
• System Bring-Up & Diagnostics: Lead electrical bring-up, signal integrity testing, bus analysis, and fault diagnosis on prototype vehicles using standard lab and automotive diagnostic equipment.
• Cross-Functional System Collaboration: Work with perception, compute software, and safety engineering teams to define physical interfaces, power budgets, and sensor pinouts.
