Electrical Engineer

ALTEN Technology USA • Foster City, CA

4d • $110,000 - $120,000

About The Position

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to support the design, integration, and validation of operational equipment and drivable-concept systems used to operate autonomous vehicles in non-autonomous modes. This role bridges electrical hardware, low-voltage systems, and vehicle integration supporting everything from external control devices to in-vehicle driver-interface components.
The ideal candidate is adaptable, understands how LV electrical systems behave in real vehicles, and can take electrical hardware from concept to implementation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, with 3–5+ years experience in automotive, robotics, or embedded systems
• Strong understanding of low-voltage electrical design, component selection, and schematic interpretation
• Ability to integrate EE devices into complex vehicle systems and troubleshoot real-world electrical issues
• Comfortable building prototypes, working hands-on, and supporting fast-paced engineering development
• Effective communicator who works well across hardware, controls, and integration functions

Nice To Haves

• Experience with wiring/harness design tools (Capital, CATIA/3DX)
• Familiarity with automotive networks (CAN, LIN) and driver-interface hardware
• Experience developing or supporting special equipment, test fixtures, or custom electrical assemblies

Responsibilities

• Design, integrate, and validate electrical operational equipment (e.g., remote controllers, safety switches, auxiliary control interfaces)
• Support “drivable concept” integration, adding EE components such as instrument clusters, accelerator/brake signal interfaces, and other driver-assist electrical elements
• Create and review low-voltage schematics for added subsystems and ensure proper interfacing with vehicle networks and power distribution
• Debug, prototype, and resolve electrical issues during bench and in-vehicle testing 5
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, controls, wiring, and integration teams to ensure safe, reliable implementation
