Electrical Wiring Architect
Summary
Architect the full vehicle wiring system for medium-duty trucks at Workhorse in Wixom, MI—owning harness partitioning, schematics in Capital Harness, circuit design, and cross-functional electrical integration through DV/PV/production builds.
Better Trucks. Better World.
We’re raising the standard for what a medium-duty truck should be — delivering vehicles, infrastructure, and support designed to work for you.
About the Role
- 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
