Testing, Validation & Debug

• Develop validation test procedures for system-level and component-level verification .
• Perform hands-on prototype testing, fault evaluation, root-cause analysis, and troubleshooting of high- and low-voltage systems.
• Follow lab and vehicle test procedures to evaluate system performance, safety interactions, and functional behavior .

Program & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work with internal team members and external suppliers to ensure successful design, build, and validation .
• Participate in recurring technical review meetings to identify risks, integration issues, and quality concerns .
• Assist in project planning—tracking timing, risks, status, and technical deliverables .

Documentation & Build Support

• Generate and coordinate build documentation, assembly instructions, inspection sheets, and test records .
• Support prototype build reviews, manufacturing handoff, and initial production readiness .

Qualifications

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Computer Engineering, or Mechatronics from an accredited institution.
• Equivalent experience will be considered.

Experience

• LabVIEW
• Vector CANalyzer / CANape / CAN tools
• SPICE / PSpice
• Controls platforms ( MotoHawk, dSPACE, ETAS preferred )
• Hands-on experience with high-voltage battery systems, inverters, DC-DC converters, BMS, and vehicle electrical integration .
• Familiarity with EV industry standards, ISO 26262 concepts , and relevant military or commercial vehicle standards (preferred).
• Experience with PCB design tools (Altium) is a plus.

What You Bring

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple technical tasks in a fast-paced, hands-on environment .
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and documentation capabilities.
• A proactive mindset with strong attention to detail.

Why Join This Opportunity
