Better Trucks. Better World.
Headquartered in Wixom, MI with locations in California, Ohio and Indiana, Workhorse is raising the standard for what a medium-duty truck should be — delivering vehicles, infrastructure, and support designed to work for you.
What You Will Do
• Own and develop the overall vehicle wiring architecture, including harness partitioning, electrical interfaces, grounding strategy, power distribution, and communication-network topology
• Define how electrical components and systems are connected across the vehicle
• Develop and maintain vehicle-level electrical block diagrams, wiring schematics, interface definitions, and architecture documentation using Capital Harness
• Establish harness boundaries, inline-connector locations, routing strategies, and subsystem interfaces
• Define circuit requirements, including wire sizing, voltage drop, fuse protection, shielding, grounding, and connector requirements
• Manage wiring architecture across vehicle options, configurations, and future product variants
• Work with component DREs, wiring DREs, electrical architecture, controls, mechanical packaging, manufacturing, service, and suppliers to ensure system compatibility
• Optimize the wiring system for cost, mass, complexity, manufacturability, serviceability, and reliability
• Support electrical DFMEAs, functional-safety reviews, EMC analysis, and system-level design reviews
• Lead resolution of cross-functional electrical interface and wiring issues during vehicle development and validation
• Support Mule, DV, PV, and production builds, including root-cause analysis and implementation of design improvements
• Maintain configuration control and ensure wiring changes are properly incorporated across schematics, harness designs, vehicle documentation, and released components
Requirements
Required Qualifications & Skill
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
