Job Description:
- Able to evaluate the current system architecture, then make strategy for integration of individual components into the full engine.
- Provide strategy for high voltage vs low voltage safety in terms of layout.
- Advise high level diagrams/ schematics to give team clear direction.
- System Design and Architecture:
- Develop electrical system architectures that meet product requirements and specifications.
- Define the system-level electrical components, interfaces, and interconnections.
- Conduct trade-off analysis to optimize system performance, cost, and reliability.
Requirements Analysis:
- Work closely with stakeholders to understand and define system requirements.
- Translate high-level requirements into detailed electrical specifications.
- Ensure that the electrical system design aligns with overall project goals and timelines.
- Component Selection and Integration:
- Evaluate and select electrical components, such as microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and power supplies.
- Oversee the integration of components into the system architecture.
- Conduct compatibility testing and troubleshooting to resolve integration issues.
Safety and Compliance:
- Ensure that electrical systems comply with relevant safety standards and regulations.
- Identify potential safety hazards and implement appropriate mitigation measures.
- Collaborate with regulatory agencies to obtain certifications and approvals as needed.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Create detailed design documents, schematics, and technical specifications.
- Maintain accurate records of system configurations, changes, and test results.
- Prepare regular progress reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
- 5~10 years of experience in electrical system design, architecture, and integration.
- Strong knowledge of analog and digital electronics, power distribution, and control systems.
- Proficiency in CAD software for schematic capture and PCB layout.
- Should have familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as CE, CSA, ISO, IEC, and UL.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Effective communication and collaboration abilities, with the ability to work in cross-functional teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink) for electrical system analysis.
- Familiarity with embedded systems development and programming languages (e.g., C, C++).
- Knowledge of emerging technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and electric vehicles (EVs).
- Certification in systems engineering or project management (e.g., INCOSE, PMP) is a plus.
