Job Description

The Role:

We are seeking a motivated and technically strong candidate to lead system integration for the Electrical Components in ICE, EV, and Hybrid vehicles. This role will be responsible for driving technical execution, integration, and cross-functional alignment for safety features and module delivery across vehicle programs.

The selected candidate will act as a key technical leader for an electrical subsystem, ensuring system requirements are clearly defined, design solutions are integrated early, and execution is coordinated across design, packaging, electrical, software, validation, manufacturing and vehicle integration teams. They will be the spokesperson for the way the components should be integrated from a total enterprise cost and timing perspective.

What You’ll do:

  • Lead end-to-end integration of a dedicated electrical technical package.
  • Own technical coordination across hardware, software, electrical architecture, packaging, and manufacturing teams.
  • Translate vehicle, system, and interface requirements into executable module-level engineering deliverables.
  • Drive issue resolution, requirement alignment, and design tradeoff decisions with internal and supplier teams.
  • Ensure module designs meet functional, electrical, environmental, manufacturing, serviceability, and vehicle integration requirements.
  • Support system definition, interface management (brackets or direct mounting), and design reviews throughout the development cycle.
  • Lead cross-functional discussions with counterpart owners for adjacent systems and modules.
  • Use data-driven decision making to evaluate alternatives, manage risks, and support program timing.
  • Provide technical direction to designers, engineers, and partner teams supporting the module.
  • Support vehicle development forums, integration reviews, and program decision milestones in the same spirit as the forums and workgroups called out in the example requisition.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems/Software Engineering, or related field. 
  • Experience in mobility (automotive, aerospace…) electrical systems, connectivity, infotainment, telematics, or module integration. 
  • Experience with system integration, product development, and issue resolution. 
  • Demonstrated ability to lead projects and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority. 
  • Strong understanding of requirements management, interfaces, design criteria, and technical problem solving. 
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills. 
  • Ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and drive execution in a fast-paced development environment. 

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills)

  • Master’s degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, data science, or a related field. 
  • Experience with numerical optimization, design of experiments, surrogate modeling, regression, machine learning, or statistical analysis applied to engineering design. 
  • Familiarity with vehicle electrical architecture, packaging constraints, and design review processes. 
  • Experience using NX, Teamcenter, CAD/PLM systems, harness-design tools, or comparable engineering data platforms. 
  • Experience building Power BI dashboards or comparable engineering analytics solutions. 
  • Experience translating CAD or engineering design information into reusable parametric data structures. 
  • Familiarity with design-for-manufacturing, design-for-assembly, cost optimization, and structured engineering trade studies.
