Electrical Engineer III- Contract

Autonomous Solutions•Fort Worth, TX

About The Position

ASI is expanding its teams to support its current ramp-up across development work, customer projects, and product deployments. This is a full-time W-2 contract position. The selected candidate will interview with ASI and work as an integrated member of the ASI team. W-2 employment, payroll, and benefits will be administered through one of ASI's staffing partners. Development phases of this nature typically span up to project completion (typically 2-4 years), though scope and duration are driven by business needs. The Electrical Engineer III is responsible for designing, integrating, and validating low-voltage electrical systems used in ASI's autonomous vehicle platforms. This role focuses on component selection, wire harness design, and system-level electrical integration to support the reliable operation of robotic vehicle systems. As a Level III engineer, this position leads subsystem-level electrical integration efforts, collaborates closely with mechanical and embedded software teams, and supports testing and validation through hardware-in-the-loop and field testing activities. The role plays a key part in ensuring ASI's autonomous platforms operate safely and reliably across diverse operating environments.
