Electrical Engineer

Position Overview

The Electrical Engineer will be a key contributor in the development of an innovative medium-duty vehicle platform focused on advancing clean, efficient, and intelligent transportation. This role centers on vehicle electrical and electronic systems – including power distribution, wiring harness design, control systems integration, and support for electric propulsion and charging systems – and necessitates strong hands-on engineering skills and experience in design and validation. Based at ENC’s headquarters in Riverside, California, the role involves close cooperation with engineering teams in China and active support for supplier selection, qualification, and management both in the U.S. and internationally.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop electrical systems for new medium-duty vehicles, including low-voltage and high-voltage architectures.
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness designs using CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks Electrical or Altium).
• Define system-level electrical requirements and component specifications.
• Support integration of electrical systems, including propulsion, charging, power distribution, and control electronics.
• Conduct testing, troubleshooting, and validation of vehicle electrical systems and components.
• Collaborate with mechanical and software teams to ensure cross-system compatibility and performance.
• Coordinate with suppliers in China and the U.S. for design reviews, DFM feedback, and quality assurance.
• Support prototype and production builds with on-site engineering support as needed.
• Participate in vehicle certification and compliance activities related to electrical safety and standards (e.g., FMVSS, UL, SAE).
• Travel to China as required to coordinate engineering activities and resolve technical issues.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in automotive or commercial vehicle electrical engineering (EV experience preferred).
• Strong knowledge of high-voltage and low-voltage power systems, grounding, and circuit protection.
• Proficiency with electrical CAD tools such as SolidWorks Electrical, Altium Designer, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with wiring harness design, diagnostics, and validation.
• Solid understanding of CAN bus systems, powertrain control, and communication architectures.
• Familiarity with manufacturing and assembly processes for vehicle electrical systems.
• Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
• Ability and willingness to travel internationally, including frequent travel to China.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with EV components, including batteries, inverters, DC/DC converters, and charging systems.
• Familiarity with vehicle-level integration, testing, and validation processes.
• Experience collaborating with international engineering and supplier teams, particularly in China.
• Prior exposure to startup or fast-paced product development environments.

Benefits & Perks

• Compensation: $115,000 to $130,000 per year
