Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

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.

Required Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Preferred Master's degree.
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in automotive electrical engineering, electrical harness design, or system-level hardware integration for ADAS/AV systems.
  • Electrical & Bus Protocols: Deep understanding of automotive power electronics, relay/fuse box design, and vehicle networks (CAN, CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet).
  • Hardware Diagnostics: Hands-on proficiency with tools such as Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, Wireshark, digital oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
  • Component Knowledge: Experience selecting automotive-grade connectors (TE Connectivity, Molex, Amphenol), fused protection, and high-speed serialization hardware.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficiency with schematic capture and harness design tools (e.g., E3.series, PCAD, Altium, or Vector Architecture tools).
  • Familiarity with automotive EMC/EMI mitigation techniques and ISO 26262 functional safety considerations for power delivery.
  • Hands-on experience working in automotive workshop or prototype vehicle garage environments.
