Job description

Role Summary

The Systems Engineer is an entry-level engineering position supporting the development, integration, and validation of automotive 12V electrical systems and components.

In this role, you will work closely with experienced system, component, and validation engineers to set up, coordinate, perform, monitor, and document both vehicle-level and laboratory validation testing. Key responsibilities include preparing engineering work orders, supporting the development of validation test plans and procedures, collecting and analyzing empirical test data, and assisting with the root-cause investigation and resolution of vehicle electrical system issues.

This position covers components and subsystems within the low-voltage power domain, including:

• 12V lead-acid batteries (Flooded and AGM technologies)

• Alternators and intelligent charging systems

• DC/AC power inverters

• Battery Monitoring Sensors (BMS) and smart sensing devices

• Power control relays and related power switching hardware
