Electrical Systems Integration Engineer
Hybrid (San Francisco, CA), Hybrid (Lockhart, TX)Full-timePosted 3d ago
About the role
Role bridging high-level electrical architecture with physical implementation for Bedrock’s autonomous construction machines. Owns power distribution, high-speed data links, sensor/ECU integration, and cross-functional collaboration across mechanical, software, operations, and manufacturing to create cohesive, high-performance electrical systems.
Responsibilities
- Electrical Integration: Lead the physical and logical integration of the Bedrock autonomy kit onto machine platforms, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity.
- Power Distribution Architecture: Design and optimize low voltage distribution systems, including wire sizing, fuse coordination, and grounding strategies to ensure system reliability and safety.
- Communication Protocol Implementation: Define and validate hardware-level communication for sensors and ECUs using protocols such as GMSL, 100/1000BASE-T1 (Automotive Ethernet), CAN, and LIN.
- 3D CAD Design: Utilize 3D CAD tools to model electrical routing, connector placements, and mounting solutions within complex mechanical envelopes.
- Supplier & Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for external suppliers, managing the procurement of custom harnesses, sensors, and controllers from specification through to delivery.
- Project Management: Manage integration timelines, track technical risks, and lead "bring-up" phases for prototype builds.
- Troubleshooting & Validation: Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN tools to diagnose and resolve complex system-level electrical issues during lab and field testing.
- Full-Lifecycle Harness Design: Develop complex 2D schematics and 3D wire routings for autonomous sensor suites, compute platforms, and power distribution units.
- High-Speed Data Integrity: Specify and integrate specialized cabling (Shielded Twisted Pair, Coax, Differential Pairs) for protocols like GMSL, 100/1000BASE-T1, and 10G ethernet.
- Component Selection: Source and validate connectors, terminals, seals, and shielding materials suitable for a construction environment.
- EMI/EMC Mitigation: Implement advanced shielding and grounding strategies to protect sensitive sensor data from the high-frequency noise generated by the autonomous compute and vehicle alternators.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or a related field.
- 7+ years of experience in vehicle or heavy machinery electrical systems integration.
