Senior Electrical Engineer

Requirements

• 5–8 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

• Cyngn is 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
• 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
