Position Overview
We are seeking a Junior E/E Architecture & Electrical Systems Engineer to support the design, integration, and validation of production-intent vehicle electrical/electronic architectures for autonomous and software-defined vehicles. This engineer will contribute to in-vehicle network topology, ECU and centralized-compute integration, pinout definition, wiring harness design, power distribution, safety analysis, and system verification under the guidance of senior engineers. Hands-on experience contributing to automotive-grade in-vehicle network architecture design is required.
Key Responsibilities
E/E Architecture Design:
- Support the vehicle E/E architecture lifecycle from concept and requirements through detailed design, integration, validation, production release, and field support.
- Assist with defining and documenting scalable logical and physical architectures spanning centralized computers, domain and zonal controllers, gateways, edge ECUs, sensors, actuators, and power distribution.
- Create and maintain architecture artifacts under guidance, including block diagrams, functional allocation, interface control documents, network matrices, connector definitions, and pinouts.
- Contribute to trade studies covering bandwidth, latency, time synchronization, redundancy, fault tolerance, safety, cybersecurity, power, thermal limits, harness weight, cost, and scalability.
Electrical Integration & Harness Engineering:Pinout, Harness, and Platform Integration:
- Assist with defining and maintaining ECU, sensor, actuator, and compute-platform pinouts, including signal types, voltage levels, current limits, wake/sleep behavior, power, grounds, and shielding requirements.
- Support the design and review of low-voltage harnesses, schematics, connectors, wire gauges, splices, fusing, routing, grounding, shielding, serviceability, and manufacturing constraints.
- Assist with integrating ECUs, gateways, sensors, actuators, power-distribution modules, and high-performance vehicle computers; support hardware bring-up and interface validation.
- Work with suppliers and internal hardware, software, mechanical, safety, manufacturing, and vehicle-integration teams to align electrical interfaces and network requirements.
- Architecture Tools and Configuration Management: Maintain architecture models, schematics, BOMs, DBC/ARXML/LDF files, interface baselines, variants, and change traceability.
Safety, Reliability & Validation:
- Participate in system FMEA/DFMEA and fault-tree analyses; help identify failure modes, effects, detection mechanisms, design mitigations, safe states, and verification evidence.
- Support the definition and execution of network and electrical integration tests for bandwidth, latency, bus load, time sync, power modes, diagnostics, fault injection, EMC, HIL, bench, and vehicle operation.
- Assist with diagnosing cross-domain electrical, communication, and hardware/software issues using logs, network traces, measurements, and structured root-cause analysis; help drive defects to verified closure.
Collaboration and Technical Delivery:
- Work with autonomy, controls, software, hardware, cybersecurity, safety, suppliers, and platform partners to implement architecture decisions, interfaces, dependencies, and changes.
- Participate in design and release-readiness reviews; help maintain documentation, verification evidence, manufacturing and service inputs, and clear tracking of residual risks.
Skills and Qualifications
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- Required: Hands-on experience contributing to automotive-grade in-vehicle network architecture design through industry experience, an internship, co-op, or an equivalent vehicle-platform project.
- Working knowledge of centralized, domain-based, or zonal E/E architectures, including function allocation, gateways, ECUs, and high-performance-compute integration.
- Hands-on knowledge of CAN and CAN-FD, with familiarity with LIN and Automotive Ethernet concepts such as topology, bandwidth, latency, diagnostics, and communication matrices.
- Practical experience supporting pinout definition for power, ground, analog, digital, high-speed, wake, reset, diagnostics, and safety-related signals.
- Hands-on exposure to wiring diagrams, harness schematics, connectors, wire sizing, grounding, shielding, power distribution, and design for manufacturing.
- Basic working knowledge of UDS, DoIP, SOME/IP, DDS, gPTP/IEEE 802.1AS, or similar diagnostic, middleware, and time-synchronization technologies.
- Exposure to FMEA/DFMEA, fault-tree analysis, design risk assessment, or verification planning in an ISO 26262-oriented process.
- Familiarity with tools such as CANoe/CANalyzer, Wireshark, oscilloscopes, logic and power analyzers, and HIL or bench systems.
- Ability to work with requirements, interfaces, configuration records, and engineering changes, with sound problem-solving, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Exposure to integrating NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor or Orin, or comparable platforms such as Snapdragon Ride, Renesas R-Car, or TI Jacinto.
- Familiarity with GMSL, FPD-Link, PCIe, MIPI CSI, multi-gigabit Automotive Ethernet, or synchronized sensor networks.
- Exposure to zonal architectures, Ethernet TSN, service-oriented systems, fail-operational design, or redundant power and network paths.
- Familiarity with PREEvision, SystemWeaver, Capital, Zuken E3, CATIA Electrical, IBM DOORS, or equivalent tools.
- Internship, co-op, academic, or early-career OEM/Tier-1 experience supporting vehicle electrical systems from prototype through validation.
- Exposure to ISO 21434, Automotive SPICE, DVP&R, EMC/EMI, APQP/PPAP, or Python/CAPL test automation.
