Staff Wire Harness Engineer, Electrical at Form Energy — Berkeley, CA

Role Description

We are looking for an electrical harness engineer who can play a key role in the development of our battery’s low voltage architecture. You will be part of a rapidly growing team responsible for harness schematics, component selection, PCBA and sensor interfaces, as well as working with vendors and in-house test teams for validation testing. The staff harness engineer shall have had exposure to a broad range of technical challenges and methods in the context of product development, including sealed component selection, EMI mitigation, DFM/DFA considerations. Cross-team collaboration throughout the product development organization is a critical part of this role, so systems-level thinking and multidisciplinary engineering are key traits of a successful candidate.

Relocation assistance is available.

What you'll do

• Work cross-functionally with Mechanical, Electrical, Compliance engineers to define harness requirements and component selection
• Create and maintain 2D electrical single and multi-line schematics, draft harness assembly drawings for wire harness assemblies
• Work closely with procurement teams to source materials and components from approved suppliers.
• Define ICDs (interface control document) between PCBA controllers and devices (sensors, actuators, and other controllers).
• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers on wire harness CAD routing in consideration of Poka Yoke and DFA.
• Hands on support of system level bring-up and validation, as well as 5D/8D experience.
• Communicate project progress, challenges, and solutions effectively to team members and management

What you'll bring:

• A Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical, Electrical Engineering OR Mechatronics Engineering
• 7+ years experience in product development (experience in energy storage or automotive is a plus)
• Hands-on experience designing and building electro-mechanical systems and harnesses
• Expertise with 2D (3D bonus) PLM, and Harness design software such as Zuken E3, SolidWorks, Catia or NX.
• Strong knowledge of component rating (voltage, temperature, IP etc.) in context of product certification (UL and NEC).
• Familiarity with creation of electrical schematics
• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals and familiarity with mechanical engineering fundamentals
• Bonus: direct PCBA & electronic circuitry design experience highly desired
