Lead Electrical Engineer
Booster, Mountain View, CA, United States
Electrical Engineering Tech Lead – Hardware Engineering
As an Electrical Engineering Tech Lead on our Hardware Engineering team, you will be responsible for all electronic components on and off the vehicle, establishing processes needed to bring up and calibrate the stack, collaborating closely with the Systems Engineering team, and supporting early integration efforts to drive real‑world performance.
Responsibilities
Lead the definition and development of electrical and electronic components and system architecture for an autonomous vehicle platform.
Collaborate across hardware, software, and systems teams to drive integration of sensors, compute, and power systems from concept through deployment.
Serve as the technical point of contact for key component and sensor suppliers, guiding selection, validation, and integration decisions.
Oversee vehicle‑ and system‑level bring up, ensuring readiness for calibration, testing, and manufacturing in close partnership with software and validation teams.
Define and manage technical documentation, interface specifications, and deliverables to support New Product Introduction (NPI) and volume manufacturing.
Support field performance improvements through structured investigation of vehicle issues and coordination with test, systems, and service teams.
Contribute to the development and enforcement of engineering best practices for electrical system integration, verification, and vehicle reliability.
Participate in design reviews, integration planning, and cross‑functional problem‑solving to ensure system‑level performance and scalability.
Qualifications
8+ years of experience leading electrical system development for complex mechatronic, vehicle, or robotics platforms.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
Deep understanding of sensor technologies (camera, lidar, radar, ultrasound) and their integration into vehicle architectures.
Ability to evaluate sensor trade‑offs and calibration strategies in the context of autonomous system design.
Experience with vehicle‑level electrical integration, system reliability, and design for manufacturability.
Proven track record collaborating across hardware, software, and systems teams during bring‑up and integration phases.
Experience in industries such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, or automation, particularly in fast‑paced development environments.
Familiarity with scripting and automation tools to support system integration and validation (e.g., Python, command‑line tools).
Working knowledge of in‑vehicle communication protocols such as GMSL2, CAN, CAN‑FD, and LIN.
Familiarity with system modeling or simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink (preferred).
Understanding of embedded system interfaces and microcontroller‑based architectures (preferred).
Salary Range : $200,000-$28
