  • Implement CAN Bus, Ethernet, Modbus, I2C & SPI
  • Support EMC/EMI mitigation and high-voltage protection
  • Perform system integration, troubleshooting, and automated testing
  • Work cross-functionally with mechanical, software, test, and manufacturing teams
  • Help take systems from prototype to production


What We're Looking For”

  • B.S. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field
  • 3+ years of electrical/electronic systems design experience
  • Hands-on high-voltage DC experience
  • PCB/schematic design experience; KiCad a plus
  • Embedded controls and electromechanical integration experience
  • Wire harness and cable-routing knowledge
  • Comfortable working hands-on in prototype and production environments


Bonus: Battery-electric vehicle, BMS, marine, industrial, locomotive/rail, safety-critical, or EN 50155 experience.


This role provides an opportunity to join and collaborate closely with the team on a three-month project, with the potential to transition into a full-time direct position based on performance, business needs, and mutual fit.
