Electrical Engineer – Vehicle Systems

Overview In this role you own the design and development of vehicle electrical systems for production autonomous battery-electric rail vehicles. You’ll work on vehicle electronics, power distribution, traction and braking, safety-critical control logic, and compute/sensor networks. As the responsible engineer, you ensure high-reliability electrical systems are integrated with software, mechanics, and autonomy components under regulatory oversight. You’ll thrive in a cross-functional, safety-focused environment and help advance a greener, safer freight solution. You play a key part in delivering robust propulsion and control systems that scale to production.
