• Up to 50% travel may be required.

You Have

• Multiple years of experience integrating both mechanical and electrical systems.

• Familiarity with manufacturing, testing, or diagnostic equipment, including drill presses, miter saws, and digital voltmeters.

• Experience with power electronics, including servicing industrial batteries of varied chemistries and implementing DC-DC and DC-AC converters.

• Prior experience in developing and supporting all aspects of autonomy for a production ground vehicle subsystem or research prototype (end-to-end, full lifecycle development preferred).

• Proficiency with business tools such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides (Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
