Our Engineering team at Livewire has an opening for a Vehicle Electrical Systems Integration Engineer.  This open position requires a relentless drive for success while working in an efficient, dynamic and systems focused engineering environment.  This engineer will be responsible for envisioning & implementing the electrical system of the vehicle in a manner that transforms the vehicle into the “must have” EV for the segment, and driving the team to successfully integrate those features, functions, content, and designs that deliver this system architecture.    

This is what you'll do:

• Building upon LiveWire technology, develop and model concepts to fulfill customer needs.
• Define system interaction between multiple components and document those requirements for implementation by those responsible for component delivery.
• Support the creation of ‘System Function Documents’ (SFDs) to define expected behavior between components.
• Define system schematics (block diagrams) for specific sub-systems.
• Verify vehicle level system designs through MiL analysis and review.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to assure design, develop, and deliver vehicle components are implemented correctly based on the System design.
• Support the development and maintenance of requirements and associated traceability and test case results in a requirements tool like Helix.
• Provide status, project updates, and issue tracking using industry standard tools like Jira and Smartsheet.
• Provide technical input to design engineers for integration to assure vehicle and customer requirements are achieved.
• Ensure designs meet requirements for modular and flexible design of components for maximum re-use across other programs and vehicle platforms.
• Resolve complex problems such as technical issues and can provide solutions to problems using both creative processes and analytical methods. Works independently, providing guidance on the most complex situations.
• Impacts the achievement of delivering optimal designs while adhering to project targets, performance objectives, high quality, and cost minimization.
