Job summary

indiGOtech is seeking a hands-on engineer to own and run a portion of our active suspension and traction test systems at our MA facility. You will define test methods, procedures, and tooling while collaborating with motor, electrical, software, and mechanical teams.

You'll build the test end-to-end—test hardware, data acquisition software, and procedures—gaining fluency across electrical, mechanical, and software disciplines. Ownership and startup pace shape this role.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years developing data acquisition software and/or hardware.
• Programming experience in Python (MATLAB or C a plus).
• Comfort with electromechanical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc.).
• Familiarity with sensors: rotary encoders, resolvers, temperature/pressure sensors.
• Experience building tools to visualize and analyze multi-sensor data.
• A genuine appetite for ambiguity — you're energized, not stressed by "figure it out".
• Strong troubleshooting instincts and comfort owning a problem without a clear owner.
• Communication and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• Plan and execute motor and inverter tests in collaboration with the engineering team.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the dynamometers and associated test systems.
• Develop the test procedures and methods as our platform evolves — you'll be writing the playbook, not just following one.
• Analyze results, report findings, and feed insights back into design.
• Develop and own data acquisition software.
• Spec and implement hardware/electrical upgrades to test systems as needs change.
• Troubleshoot issues across hardware, electrical, and software — often solo, often on the fly.
• Keep accurate records of test parameters, configurations, and results.
• Collaborate daily with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
• Provide technical support to other teams as new needs come up.
• Adapt quickly as priorities shift — startup pace means the job will change under you, and that's the point.
