• Support PCB/hardware development efforts ( Altium preferred; OrCAD or equivalent considered ).

Controls & Software Integration

• Coordinate with controls and software teams on system behaviors, state machines, protection logic, and calibration .
• Support embedded controls development using MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow , model-based design, and C-based integration review .
• Use CAN tools (Vector CANalyzer, CANape) to evaluate control systems, validate functionality, and troubleshoot issues.

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
