As an EDS Integration Engineer for the Advanced EV Team, you will be at the forefront of defining the "nervous system" for our next-generation Model e products. You will be responsible for the end-to-end vehicle-side electrical wire harness design and physical integration, serving as a critical link between architectural theory and vehicle reality. This role is essential to the development of a Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV), where you will optimize the intersection of hardware, software, and mechanical packaging. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the harness architecture is efficient, manufacturable, and robust, while remaining hands-on during lab-car and vehicle "bring-up" phases to troubleshoot and validate your designs.
What you’ll be able to do:
Zonal Architecture Leadership: Drive the electrical wiring system design from concept to production, focusing on the transition toward Zonal power and data distribution to minimize mass and maximize vehicle efficiency.
Multi-Voltage & Power Distribution: Architect and integrate diverse voltage platforms, leading wire sizing, fuse coordination, and terminal selection based on steady-state and transient power profiles to ensure robust power delivery.
High-Speed Data Management: Design for signal integrity across the vehicle’s data backbone, managing shielded circuits for ADAS sensors, Automotive Ethernet, and other high-bandwidth communication protocols.
System Optimization & Partitioning: Partner with Subsystem engineers to establish harness partitioning and complexity strategies to minimize wire count, optimize cost, and reduce weight—critical metrics for EV range.
Functional Safety & Topology: Influence the design of grounding and network topologies while collaborating on Functional Safety (ISO 26262) assessments to ensure the EDS architecture supports safety-critical features.
ECAD Schematic Development: Develop logical and physical electrical schematics using professional ECAD tools (e.g., Capital, Zuken), owning the technical resolution of integration issues as they arise.
Hands-on Integration & Bring-up: Support Labcar and prototype vehicle builds as the primary lead for electrical bring-up, circuit troubleshooting, and validating system-level changes in a real-world environment.
Manufacturing & Innovation: Review 2D drawings and 3D routing to ensure supplier readiness while investigating new harness technologies (e.g., busbars or automated manufacturing) to push the boundaries of EV design.
