Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with a strong foundation in system-level electrical design and a proven record of delivering reliable, production-ready solutions. This is a hands-on generalist role, ideal for someone who can confidently move between PCB design, harness development, system integration, and documentation—while understanding the broader system architecture. You will lead and execute key aspects of the electrical architecture for our AI-defined vehicle platforms, from concept through mass production. You’ll collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure clean, robust, and scalable electrical systems.

Job Responsibility:

Drive system-level electrical architecture, defining electrical needs, interface points, and integration strategies across subsystems
Design and deliver PCBAs, wiring harnesses, and complete system schematics from concept to production
Perform schematic capture, layout, and documentation using Altium Designer
Develop and document wiring harness designs using Rapid Harness, ensuring signal integrity, topology control, and manufacturability
Work with high-speed interfaces (>1 Gbps) and communication protocols, including I2C, I3C, I2S, GMSL, MIPI-CSI2, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, SSI, and various analog layers
Use structured risk management tools such as NUDD and FMEA to identify and mitigate design risks early
Define and execute Acceptance Test Plans (ATPs) for electrical validation, qualification, and production release
Apply best practices for battery-powered EV architectures, including EMC/EMI compliance and regulatory testing
Manage and release documentation through Arena PLM, ensuring configuration control and traceability
Translate system requirements into actionable design deliverables and manage schedule commitments
Diagnose and resolve complex, cross-disciplinary issues involving electrical, mechanical, and communication subsystems
Ensure designs meet Functional Safety considerations aligned with standards such as ISO-26262 or IEC-60335

Requirements:

2-4 years of electrical engineering experience in production hardware development
Strong generalist background across multiple areas of electrical engineering (PCB, harness, system integration)
Proven expertise with PCB design, including schematic capture, layout, and DFM best practices
Experience with wiring harness design, particularly using Rapid Harness or similar tools
Familiarity with Arena PLM or equivalent systems for configuration and release management
Working knowledge of functional safety design principles and relevant standards (ISO-26262, IEC-60335)
Experience working with high-speed digital interfaces and multiple communication protocols
Familiarity with EMC/EMI compliance testing and design considerations
Strong communication and documentation skills
Ability to own designs end-to-end—from architecture through production release

What we offer:

Health benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, HSA and FSA (Health & Dependent Daycare), Employee Assistance Program, 1:1 Health Concierge)
Life, Short-term and long-term disability insurance (Cyngn funds 100% of premiums)
Company 401(k)
Commuter Benefits
Flexible vacation policy
Sabbatical leave opportunity after 5 years with the company
Paid Parental Leave
Daily lunches for in-office employees and fully-stocked kitchen with snacks and beverages
Monthly meal and tech allowances for remote employees
