About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Design Automation Engineer to lead the integration, extension, and automation of Siemens Capital and related electrical-engineering toolchains. This role combines electrical architecture expertise with software-development discipline to create plugins, APIs, services, workflows, and AI agents that improve design quality, accelerate release, and maintain traceability from logical connectivity through physical implementation and manufacturing documentation. A key focus will be converting existing PSDS and electrical-engineering processes into intelligent AI-agent workflows that reduce manual effort, scale engineering expertise, and transform design, problem resolution, validation, and release activities. The successful candidate will work across electrical engineering, software engineering, manufacturing, PLM, IT, suppliers, and engineering-tool vendors. They will own solutions from requirements and architecture through implementation, validation, deployment, adoption, and support.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Software, Systems, Mechanical, Automotive, or related engineering field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in electrical design, harness engineering, engineering software, design automation, or systems integration
Experience developing software, scripts, plugins, APIs, or automated engineering workflows
Experience with Siemens Capital or a comparable ECAD, MCAD, harness, PLM, or engineering-design platform
Proficiency in Python, C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, VBA, or a comparable language
Experience with JSON, XML, SQL, REST APIs, file-based interfaces, data mapping, or message-based communication
Ability to understand electrical connectivity, engineering models, design constraints, and downstream manufacturing requirements
Ability to lead technical work, communicate across functions, and deliver maintainable solutions
