Mountain View, CA, United States Cyngn Full time
About Cyngn

Based in Mountain View, CA, Cyngn is a publicly-traded autonomous technology company. We deploy self-driving industrial vehicles like forklifts and tuggers to factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America. To build this emergent technology, we are looking for innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join us and move this field forward. If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you. Key reasons to join Cyngn:

We are small and big.

With under 100 employees, Cyngn operates with the energy of a startup. On the other hand, we're publicly traded. This means our employees not only work in close-knit teams with mentorship from company leaders-they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly-traded equity.

We build today and deploy tomorrow.

Our autonomous vehicles aren't just test concepts-they're deployed to real clients right now. That means your work will have a tangible, visible impact.

We aren't robots. We just develop them.

We're a welcoming, diverse team of sharp thinkers and kind humans. Collaboration and trust drive our creative environment. At Cyngn, everyone's perspective matters-and that's what powers our innovation.

About this role:

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with a strong foundation in system-level electrical design and a proven record of delivering reliable, production-ready solutions. This is a hands-on generalist role, ideal for someone who can confidently move between PCB design, harness development, system integration, and documentation-while understanding the broader system architecture. You will lead and execute key aspects of the electrical architecture for our AI-defined vehicle platforms, from concept through mass production. You'll collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure clean, robust, and scalable electrical systems.

Responsibilities
    • Drive system-level electrical architecture, defining electrical needs, interface points, and integration strategies across subsystems
    • Design and deliver PCBAs, wiring harnesses, and complete system schematics from concept to production
    • Perform schematic capture, layout, and documentation using Altium Designer
    • Develop and document wiring harness designs using Rapid Harness, ensuring signal integrity, topology control, and manufacturability
    • Work with high-speed interfaces (>1 Gbps) and communication protocols, including I2C, I3C, I2S, GMSL, MIPI-CSI2, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, SSI, and various analog layers
    • Use structured risk management tools such as NUDD and FMEA to identify and mitigate design risks early
    • Define and execute Acceptance Test Plans (ATPs) for electrical validation, qualification, and production release
    • Apply best practices for battery-powered EV architectures, including EMC/EMI compliance and regulatory testing
    • Manage and release documentation through Arena PLM, ensuring configuration control and traceability
    • Translate system requirements into actionable design deliverables and manage schedule commitments
    • Diagnose and resolve complex, cross-disciplinary issues involving electrical, mechanical, and communication subsystems
    • Ensure designs meet Functional Safety considerations aligned with standards such as ISO-26262 or IEC-60335
Qualifications
    • 2-4 years of electrical engineering experience in production hardware development
    • Strong generalist background across multiple areas of electrical engineering (PCB, harness, system integration)
    • Proven expertise with PCB design, including schematic capture, layout, and DFM best practices
    • Experience with wiring harness design, particularly using Rapid Harness or similar tools
    • Familiarity with Arena PLM or equivalent systems for configuration and release management
    • Working knowledge of functional safety design principles and relevant standards (ISO-26262, IEC-60335)
    • Experience working with high-speed digital interfaces and multiple communication protocols
    • Familiarity with EMC/EMI compliance testing and design considerations.
    • Strong communication and documentation skills
    • Ability to own designs end-to-end-from architecture through production release
Benefits & Perks
    • Health benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, HSA and FSA (Health & Dependent Daycare), Employee Assistance Program, 1:1 Health Concierge)
    • Life, Short-term and long-term disability insurance (Cyngn funds 100% of premiums)
    • Company 401(k)
    • Commuter Benefits
    • Flexible vacation policy
    • Sabbatical leave opportunity after 5 years with the company
    • Paid Parental Leave
    • Daily lunches for in-office employees and fully-stocked kitchen with snacks and beverages
    • Monthly meal and tech allowances for remote employees


$144,000 - $153,000 a year
