We Need a Hands-On Powertrain Integration Technician
We’re looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, getting their hands dirty, and making high-performance EVs come to life. You’ll be the glue that brings all the powertrain components together—debugging, wiring, testing, and tuning everything until it works seamlessly.

What You’ll Be Doing:
- Make it all work – Integrate motors, inverters, battery packs, and controllers into a cohesive system.
- Debug & diagnose – Track down electrical gremlins and fix issues before they become problems.
- Program & reflash – Work with VCUs and other electronic components to ensure proper operation.
- Lay out test benches – Design and build test setups to validate system performance before vehicles hit the road.
- Collaborate with Controls Engineers – Implement and test the latest software updates in a dynamic environment.
- Push the limits – Work closely with the team to optimize performance, efficiency, and reliability.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience with EV powertrains – You know your way around motors, inverters, battery packs, and controllers.
- Strong electrical & mechanical skills – Wiring, soldering, crimping, and troubleshooting are second nature to you.
- Ability to program and flash VCUs – You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you should be comfortable handling firmware updates.
- Problem-solving mindset – You don’t wait for instructions; you figure things out and make it happen.
- Startup mentality – You’re adaptable, hungry to learn, and ready to take on whatever challenges come your way.
