Engineer Design

Job Summary

Join our team as an Electrical Design Engineer, helping champion the development of low voltage electrical systems/components across our motorcycle portfolio. This position will collaborate with a global engineering development team to develop and validate component designs and ensure electrical functions meet H-D performance, quality, and cost benchmarks. This role requires hands-on problem solving, design rigor, and strong organizational skills to drive successful development of a wide-range of electrical system components.

Job Responsibilities

• Develop electrical component designs and test plans with global engineering partner and approve designs for production.
• Resolve technical issues by applying problem-solving techniques, collecting data, and facilitating cross-functional support from the Engineering and Test organizations.
• Support vehicle-level system integration activities, regulatory homologation events, pre-production vehicle builds, and vehicle launch builds.
• Decompose high-level requirements into system-level requirements across multiple motorcycle domains, which may include:
  • Powertrain and engine control functions
  • Lighting and electrical subsystem behaviors
  • Ride mode management and vehicle configuration strategies
  • Enhanced chassis control systems (ABS, traction, stability, braking)
  • Rider interface, sensor integration, and other embedded functions
• Ensure that system requirements are traceable, testable, and aligned with program goals throughout the product lifecycle.
• Collaborate with development and test teams to drive robust systems verification plan that meets program milestones for DV, PV, SOP.
• Oversee component design decisions to ensure achievement of all program-level requirements with emphasis on simplification and optimization. 

Education Requirements

Education Specifications

• Requires a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Sciecne, or a related technical field 

Experience Requirements

A successful candidate will have at least 3 years of related experience. In addition, they will have demonstrated many of the following: 

• Experience in transportation, automotive, powersports, or similar regulated environments. Understanding of automotive/motorcycle development cycles, safety considerations, and regulatory/environmental requirements.
• Creative approach to solving problems and ability to own issue resolution from data collection, data analysis, root cause identification, solution set generation, to selection of optimal solution.
• Strong interest (direct experience desired) working with electrical systems that utilize controller area networks (CAN) and Vector or similar CAN tools.
• Ability to communicate technical subjects in a clear, concise manner to multiple levels of the organization.
• Experience supporting verification/validation activities or integrating requirements into test plans is a plus.
• Experience in systems engineering, requirements engineering, controls engineering, or related technical fields.
