Full Job Description
About The Role:
We're looking for a skilled Electronic/Electrical Engineer to collaborate on the design of our battery electric locomotive. This is a hands-on role where you'll work across the full electrical system lifecycle-from design and integration to testing and production optimization.
We want a driven, fast-paced self-learner who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and isn't afraid to take on technical challenges in a rapidly growing company.
We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to shape the future of rail technology while building a generational multi-billion dollar company.
What You'll Do:
Collaborate on system design and architecture for a battery electric locomotive
Partner with production engineering to optimize designs for manufacturing (DFM)
Develop schematic designs and low-speed PCB layouts for control systems
Design wire harnesses and cable routing for high-reliability applications
Implement robust communication protocols including CAN Bus, Ethernet, ModBus, and board-level protocols (I2C, SPI)
Design controllers and embedded systems for harsh industrial/automotive/locomotive environments
Conduct system and subsystem electrical testing, including automated test development
Integrate embedded systems and controllers with mechanical and software teams
Implement EMC mitigation strategies for high-voltage DC systems
Support embedded software integration and Linux-based system configurations
Ensure electrical safety in high-voltage DC environments (up to 1500V+)
What We're Looking For:
3+ years of experience in electrical/electronic system design (automotive, marine, industrial, or rail preferred)
Hands-on experience with high voltage DC systems (1500V+)
Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools - we use KiCAD
Experience with communication protocols: CAN Bus, Ethernet, ModBus, I2C, SPI
Understanding of embedded systems and controller integration - we use STM32
Familiarity with design techniques for harsh environments (vibration, temperature, EMC/EMI)
Basic Linux experience and comfort with automated testing concepts
Knowledge of wire harness design and routing principles
Experience with EMC/EMI mitigation techniques
Nice to have: Safety-critical system design experience (ISO 26262, EN 50126/8/9, or similar)
Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure startup environments
Proactive self-starter who can execute with minimal supervision
Passion for clean energy and sustainable transportation
Bonus: Experience with battery electric vehicles, BMS systems, or locomotive/rail applications
Bonus: Have built EN 50155 compliant devices, or familiarity with the standard.
