At Xos, we're problem-solvers, innovators, and go-getters, working together to drive a cleaner, more sustainable future. Join us and be part of the movement shaping the next generation of commercial transportation.

The Role

Xos is looking for an Electrical Systems Engineer to join our Engineering team, with a focus on the electrical design and deployment of our energy products, including the Xos Hub.

In this role, you'll own the electrical design across the product lifecycle from understanding customer applications and developing system architecture to supporting production, commissioning, and deployed products in the field. You'll work across high and low-voltage systems, energy storage, power conversion, EV charging, controls, and communications while partnering closely with engineering, manufacturing, service, suppliers, and customers.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys taking ownership of complex electrical systems and seeing their designs move from schematics to real-world operation.

**This is an on-site position based at our Los Angeles, CA headquarters, with occasional travel required based on business and project needs.**

What You'll Do

• Design and maintain electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and harness designs for HV DC, LV AC, and 12/24V control systems.
• Develop electrical architectures for new Xos Hub configurations and customer-specific applications.
• Perform power and energy calculations, including load analysis, battery sizing, charging profiles, voltage drop, fault current, and short-circuit analysis.
• Evaluate grid power and interconnection requirements, including utility service configurations, grounding, bonding power, power quality, and power conversion.
• Size and select wiring, connectors, overcurrent protection, control devices, and other electrical components.
• Define electrical and communication interfaces across batteries/BMS, inverters/PCS, EVSE, generators, controllers, and telematics using hardwired I/O, CAN, and Ethernet.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, including electrical drawings, E-BOMs, assembly packages, SOPs, and test and commissioning procedures.
• Support production builds, first article inspections, system testing, and commissioning at Xos facilities and customer locations, including travel as needed.
• Troubleshoot deployed systems using telematics data, logs, CAN traces, and other diagnostic tools; perform root cause analysis and translate findings into design and process improvements.
• Review customer applications, including vehicle and charging requirements, site power, load
