Electrical Engineer

Job Overview

You will design and maintain the electrical systems that enable reliable remote operation of construction equipment. This includes wiring harnesses, circuits, and system integration for drive‑by‑wire machines in rugged outdoor environments. The role is hands‑on, spanning fabrication, lab and field troubleshooting, and vendor collaboration to streamline builds.

• Design wiring harnesses, circuits, and systems to enable safe and reliable control of drive‑by‑wire machinery in high vibration, dirty, outdoor environments
• Develop and maintain working relationships with manufacturers to streamline production and manufacturing of designs
• Assemble and install harnessing and circuits for development testing and use in an operational environment out in the field
• Use measurement equipment to troubleshoot electrical systems on the bench and in the field. Use the tools available to implement immediate fixes and develop sustainable long‑term solutions
• Eliminate uncertainty through the use of effective documentation practices and facilitate collaboration and future development

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering
• Practical experience working on electrical systems

• Experience building wiring harnesses and assembling circuit boards (preferably to industry or other recognized standards)
• Experience using electrical measuring equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, signal analyzer, etc.)
• Experience designing and qualifying systems for high vibration and/or outdoor environments
• Strong understanding of "fail-safe" design principles

• Comfortable with working in a fast‑paced startup environment
• Must be willing to relocate to Austin, TX if not within commuting distance
• Must be willing to work extended hours or weekends when needed to support critical deadlines

Base compensation will vary based on factors such as relevant experience and education. Salaries and leveling will be determined on a case‑by‑case basis if an offer is extended.
