hirify.global is a publicly traded autonomous technology company developing self-driving industrial vehicles for factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America.

What you will do

• Own the electrical architecture of autonomous industrial vehicles, including sub-100 V battery distribution, multi-motor traction and steering, inverters, contactors, fusing, charging, DC/DC conversion, and safety-rated stop and interlock chains.
• Translate vehicle requirements into architectures, power and signal budgets, interface documents, schematics, harness drawings, design reviews, and test plans.
• Engineer x86 and ARM compute subsystems, power supplies, sequencing, protection, thermal and power budgets, PCIe Gen 4, sensor, Ethernet, antenna, and radio integration.
• Design autonomous mobile robot harnesses end to end, manage supplier RFQs and first articles, and release production documentation.
• Lead electrical bring-up, bench-top electrical twin development, validation, compliance testing, root-cause analysis, and closure of design findings.
• Design production test fixtures and support contract-manufacturer bring-up, BOM and drawing release, second-source planning, and domestic-sourcing constraints.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering and 7+ years designing electrical systems for vehicles, robots, or industrial machines.
• Experience taking at least one product through requirements, design, design verification and validation, compliance, production release, and shipment.
• Experience converting high-level systems requirements into electrical architectures, interface definitions, schematics, drawings, and test plans.
• Knowledge of sub-100 V DC battery distribution, motor inverters and control interfaces, contactors, fusing, DC/DC conversion, and safety-rated I/O.
• Experience engineering power supplies, sequencing, and board-level integration for x86 and ARM compute modules, including high-speed PCIe Gen 4, sensor, and Ethernet links.
• Experience with antenna and vehicle integration for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE/5G, and active GNSS/GPS systems.
• Detailed knowledge of wire harnesses, sealed connectors, routing, strain relief, drawings, and production handoff for complex AMRs.
• Experience with FCC Part 15 Class B emissions testing, EMC immunity, ISO 13849, ISO 3691-4, UL 3100, hazard analysis, and FMEA.
• Fluency in CAN/CANopen, hands-on oscilloscope and CAN-tool debugging, safe practices around high-current DC, PLM tools such as Arena, and strong documentation and communication skills.

Nice to have

• Robotics or autonomous-vehicle experience, including AMRs, AGVs, or field robots.
• Experience leading a compute or controller board program with an external layout partner.
• Experience with full EMC campaigns at accredited labs, UL or CE machinery submissions, rugged HMI, tablet or display integration, or wireless remote-control hardware.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time salaried role with in-office work in Mountain View.
• Medical, dental, and vision plans with multiple tiers, plus accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity coverage.
• Company-paid basic life insurance, supplemental life insurance, short- and long-term disability, HSA, FSA, and an Employee Assistance Program.
• Company 401(k), commuter benefits, flexible PTO, paid parental leave, and a 1:1 Health Concierge.
• Daily lunches for in-office employees and a fully stocked kitchen with snacks and beverages.
• AI tools may support parts of the hiring process, while final hiring decisions remain with people. Reasonable interview-process accommodations are available upon request.
