What you’ll be doing:

• Ownership of the electrical technical specification, design, integration, and release of autonomous agriculture vehicle systems.
• Design schematics, board layouts, and wire harnesses for various systems such as battery management, power, I/O, lighting, actuators, sensors, and microcontrollers
• Select components that are performant, cost-conscious, and available.
• Develop power, electrical, and thermal budgets and models
• Troubleshoot issues, determine root causes, design and implement corrective and preventative solutions
• Create and execute test plans, analyze data and work with other teams on how to improve tested systems.
• Work closely with external partners to devise solutions that meet system goals around safety, performance, and cost.
• Facilitate technical discussions through all program phases with internal and cross-functional stakeholders and drive escalation where necessary.
• Coordinate with cross-functional vehicle development leads in engineering (ME, SW), supply chain, program management with the goal of driving alignment on program execution details, planning, and readiness.
• Work with program management to plan development schedules, builds, and resolve supply chain issues.

What you’ll bring:

• BSEE and 5+ years of relevant experience (including MSEE/PhD degrees with professional engineering experience)
• 2+ years of experience in a professional and product driven environment
• Experience working in low-volume prototype environments. Able to work on the floor with technicians during build events to identify issues, and rapidly iterate solutions.
• Strong experience with EE CAD tools such as Eagle, Altium, and/or OrCAD
• Strong experience with lab tools such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, DMMs, and protocol analyzers.
• Strong experience with soldering, probing, and debugging
• Experience designing low level microcontrollers PCBs and IO circuitry
• Experience with component selection and procurement
• Experience with PCBA outsourcing and DFM
• Startup experience is a major plus
• Strong communication skills
• Curiosity and willingness to learn about new technology
• Able to support periodic domestic and international travel.

What makes you a strong fit:

• Experience with robotics/mechatronics with complex custom board designs
