* Position Overview:

*
* You will be responsible for designing and delivering complete vehicle-level electrical systems that support the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of Polaris off-road vehicles. In this role, you own electrical harness routing, component placement, and system integration from early concept through production release, validation, and field support. You will work closely with platform architects, systems engineers, manufacturing, suppliers, and validation teams to ensure robust and scalable electrical designs.

This is a compelling opportunity to take technical ownership of complex vehicle electrical systems and see your designs implemented across global off-road platforms.

*
* Key Responsibilities:

*
* + Own the CAD execution of vehicle electrical systems, including component placement, harness routing, interfaces, and overall system layout from concept through production release.

+ Collaborate with platform electrical architects and systems engineers to translate vehicle-level electrical strategies into detailed, manufacturable designs.

+ Manage electrical system design release activities and deadlines, prioritizing tasks effectively across multiple concurrent programs.

+ Develop and support electrical system variants to enable different feature levels and product configurations across vehicle platforms.

+ Ensure electrical system designs meet manufacturability requirements by working closely with manufacturing teams and supporting Design‑For‑Manufacturing activities.

+ Engage with validation and field support teams to troubleshoot issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive issues to resolution.

+ Coordinate with project teams to manage electrical system timelines and support vehicle bill‑of‑materials development.

+ Collaborate with suppliers to develop new electrical designs, processes, and components.

+ Support prototype vehicle builds and provides hands-on assistance as needed.

+ Provide mechanical design support related to the electrical system, including brackets, interfaces, bolted joints, and related features.
