Job Description
About the Team
DoorDash Labs is a team within DoorDash building autonomous delivery robots and other autonomy solutions from the ground up for DoorDash's core delivery platform. If you have a passion for applying autonomy and robotics in a service used by millions of people daily, then we want to talk to you!
About the Role
We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Distribution Engineer to lead the design, development, and implementation of electrical distribution systems (EDS). This role combines strong electrical design fundamentals with practical, on-vehicle and prototype build experience, supporting programs from early concept through production.
You will play a key role in accelerating prototype development, improving harness quality, and reducing supplier-related delays by owning end-to-end harness design and execution.
You’re Excited About this opportunity because you will…
- Own harness architecture development from concept through production release
- Perform electrical analysis including wire sizing, voltage drop, fuse coordination, and component selection
- Develop and maintain schematics and harness designs using tools such as Zuken E3
- Define harness routing, grounding strategies, and packaging within constrained environments
- Build, modify, and validate prototype and test harnesses
- Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical issues during vehicle bring-up, testing, and service
- Conduct root cause analysis and implement design improvements to enhance reliability
- Drive improvements in harness manufacturability, durability, and serviceability
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams and Tier 1 suppliers on DFM, validation, and production ramp
- Review and release 2D drawings and 3D routing designs
We’re excited about you because…
- Hands-on experience with wire harness assembly, modification, troubleshooting, and repair
- Strong fundamentals in:
- Wire sizing and voltage drop analysis
- Connector and terminal selection
- High-speed data systems and shielding techniques
- Proficiency with industry tools (e.g., Zuken E3, CATIA Electrical, SolidWorks, or similar)
- Experience working in fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environments
- Familiarity with Tier 1 suppliers and harness manufacturing processes
