Electrical Engineer in Foster

We are ALTEN Technology USA, an engineering company helping clients bring groundbreaking ideas to life—from advancing space exploration and life‑saving medical devices to building autonomous electric vehicles. With 3,000+ experts across North America, we partner with leading companies in aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, commercial vehicles, EVs, rail, and more.

As part of the global ALTEN Group—57,000+ engineers in 30 countries—we deliver across the entire product development cycle, from consulting to full project outsourcing.

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.

• 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
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with mechanical, controls, wiring, and integration teams to ensure safe, reliable implementation

• 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

• 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

Salary Range: $110,000-$120,000/K
