Job Title: Principal System and Electrical Engineer

Location: Foster City, CA
Duration: Full-Time or Contract

Note: Candidates must have experience integrating SAE automotive systems into Siemens Capital tool workflows.

Role Summary:

We are seeking a Principal System and Electrical Engineer to lead system-level electrical architecture design and validation for cutting-edge automotive platforms. This role requires strong collaboration across systems, validation, and offshore teams, using tools like Siemens Capital to build traceable, efficient, and compliant architectures.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop comprehensive electrical architectures using Siemens Capital and related tools.

  • Define ECU signal interfaces, network topologies (HV and LV), and integration strategies based on vehicle requirements.

  • Validate BMS, high-voltage distribution (e.g., HV-BJB), and safety-critical design components.

  • Mentor offshore teams (India/Mexico) on harness design, signal integrity, and embedded validation.

  • Apply DFMEA and FTA methodologies to mitigate design risks and failure modes.

  • Support Digital Twin environments through schematics, harness topology design, and PCB modeling.

  • Troubleshoot system-level issues involving electrical and software interfaces (e.g., CAN, UART, SPI).

  • Lead design reviews and document validation outcomes, influencing architecture through real-world implementation insights.

Key Deliverables:

  • Electrical domain models and schematics using Siemens Capital

  • Interface validation reports for CAN, J1772, and ARM Cortex-M7

  • DFMEA and FTA reports for HV/LV circuits

  • Documentation from mentoring offshore integration teams

  • Integration-ready PCB assets aligned with UL and vehicle safety standards

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years in electrical integration, specifically in BMS, power management, and EV charging (J1772, J3068)

  • Proficiency in Siemens Capital, Altium Designer, and system validation in 400V 480V environments

  • Experience with cross-functional engineering teams (software, mechanical, harness)

  • Deep understanding of DFMEA, HDI PCB design, and UL compliance for EV systems

  • Leadership in mentoring and cross-disciplinary collaboration

Key Skills:
