Electrical Engineer II Job Sunnyvale area,California USA,Engineering

About the Role

Uber is launching AV Labs to accelerate the autonomous technology ecosystem. We're building out a high-velocity team of multi-disciplinary experts to turn real-world operations into high-quality data for our autonomous partners. This team is focused on the hardest problem in AV today: unlocking real-world, long-tail driving data. Autonomy is now a data race—and Uber has an edge:
We collect rare, real-world driving data at a scale and capital efficiency no one else can match.

Our AV Labs Hardware team is pioneering the next-generation E/E architecture for our cutting-edge L4 data collection vehicle fleet. As an Electrical Engineer, you will design, develop, integrate, and validate electrical hardware from early concept through prototype builds and vehicle integration. You will work closely with senior electrical engineers and cross-functional teams to translate system requirements into reliable circuit, PCB, power distribution, and electrical interface designs.

This is a highly hands-on role with a strong focus on day-to-day electrical design, prototype bring-up, laboratory testing, troubleshooting, and design validation. You will help ensure that our hardware performs reliably across demanding automotive electrical, environmental, and vehicle operating conditions.

What You Will Do

Design & Develop Electrical Hardware: Design circuits and PCB assemblies for autonomous vehicle hardware, including power distribution, compute, storage, sensor interfaces, and vehicle interface electronics. Own schematic design, component selection, design analysis, and PCB design reviews with consideration for SI/PI and EMI/EMC.

Bring Up & Troubleshoot Hardware: Perform hands-on bring-up, characterization, and debugging of prototype hardware. Troubleshoot circuit, power, communication, and system-level issues using electrical lab equipment, perform root-cause analysis, and drive design improvements.

Validate Electrical Designs: Develop and execute Design Validation Plans (DVP) to verify electrical performance, power integrity, thermal performance, protection and fault behavior, and communication interfaces. Support EMI/EMC, environmental, and automotive electrical testing and drive issues to resolution.

Support Vehicle Electrical Integration: Support electrical hardware integration into autonomous vehicle platforms and prototype builds. Collaborate with E/E Architecture, Mechanical, Firmware, Software, Harness, and Vehicle Integration teams to resolve vehicle-level electrical and interface issues.

Support Design Release: Maintain schematics, BOMs, and design/validation documentation, and participate in engineering design reviews. Support component qualification, engineering changes, prototype builds, and technical collaboration with suppliers and manufacturing partners.

Basic Qualifications

Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline with 3+ years of hands-on experience in electrical hardware design, development, integration, and validation. Demonstrated ability to independently own circuit-level design and validation tasks while working within a broader system architecture.

Core Electrical Design & Validation Expertise: Strong understanding of analog, digital, and power electronics fundamentals with hands‑on experience designing and validating DC/DC converters, power distribution, protection circuits, and common digital interfaces. Experience performing schematic capture, component selection, PCB development, prototype bring‑up, hardware debugging, root‑cause analysis, and engineering validation. Strong laboratory skills using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, multimeters, current probes, differential probes, and related…
