  • Power electronics
  • Battery pack electrical architecture
  • High-voltage power distribution
  • Cell integration
  • Manufacturing process development
  • Startup product development
  • R&D through production launches
  • SBIR or government-funded technology programs
  • CMMC, ITAR, or FedRAMP environments
  • Military, aerospace, automotive, or energy storage products
What Makes This Opportunity Different

You'll join a small engineering organization where every engineer has significant technical ownership.

Projects span:

  • Advanced battery systems
  • Defense energy platforms
  • AI-enabled energy technologies
  • Embedded hardware
  • Battery pack development
  • Next-generation energy storage systems

Engineers here work across the full product lifecycle, from early concepts through manufacturing and deployment.
