Job Skill Requirements:

This role will entail ownership and development for a variety of electronic components and subsystems that are part of the overall electric powertrain. The role will support multiple applications/programs at a given time. The engineer will need to be able to take on a variety of tasks and work independently and within a small team. The position will work directly with cross-functional engineering teams to create all required mechanical and electrical interfaces related to the a HV component to make a fully functioning EV vehicle. Development, testing and release of electrical hardware requires knowledge of electrical systems and interactions between controls, electrical and mechanical aspects. The most complex problems come in the form of issues that are not easily reproducible. This often requires creativity and thinking outside the box to come up with test methods to try and reproduce the issue and collect the right data to understand it and get to a solution.
