About the role

Forterra is looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to join the Core Product team in Clarksburg, MD.

You will be working with a small team of engineers to develop autonomous systems for military and commercial vehicles. This involves designing and building the systems critical for autonomous vehicles using components such as embedded computers, power systems, networking components and various sensors.

Your time will be split between working on the next gen system design, and maintaining existing fielded designs. This involves working on PCB/CCA designs with SoCs, microprocessors/controllers, and interfaces such as DDR, I2C, CAN, SPI, SerDes and automotive ethernet. You will also work on power supply designs for both PCBs designed in-house, as well as COTS components. Integration and debug of both in-house designs and COTS designs is also necessary for the role, as quick technology updates are always on the roadmap.

What you'll do
