Leading the future in luxury electric and mobility

Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

• Install robust data acquisition systems on prototype vehicles: accelerometers, strain gauges, thermocouples, pressure transducers, CAN, etc.
• Troubleshoot and document mechanical and electric issues, including fabrication where necessary
• Drive vehicles to evaluate vehicle health status, test features
• Create and develop service and maintenance documents (service manual procedure, containments, etc.)
• Critical thinking skills without instruction manuals or workbooks
Qualifications

• Proven record of innovation and problem solving
• Experience with high-performance or luxury vehicles
• Ability to travel (40-50%)

• Understanding of high-voltage vehicle systems
• Wire harness building (soldering, crimping, splicing) etc.
