The Role

You'll be the mechanical owner who shapes the physical DNA of our EVs. From motor mounts and battery enclosures to thermal management and chassis integration, you will take parts from a blank CAD screen to a physical, bolted-on reality. Expect to wrench, prototype, weld, and iterate until every component survives the rigors of the road and meets our performance targets.

What You'll Do
  • Design and integrate power electronics, wiring harnesses, and control systems for motors, inverters, and battery packs.
  • Prototype and build: use bench and shop tools (scopes, soldering stations, 3D printers, test rigs) to create test fixtures and "Rev A" boards for immediate vehicle testing.
  • Validate and troubleshoot: perform electrical testing (power delivery, thermal cycling, EMI) and diagnose electrical or wiring failures.

Must-Haves
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering (required).
  • 3+ years of full-time, professional experience in electrical design (automotive, aerospace, robotics, power electronics or other equivalents).
  • Advanced EV related product design proficiency.
  • Hands-on Bench Skills: Comfortable in a lab/shop environment with a deep understanding of schematic capture, battery, VCU, and other EV related components.
  • Strong troubleshooting mindset: You can methodically isolate shorts, noise, or electrical faults and fix them.
  • Startup attitude: Ownership, urgency, and "whatever-it-takes" follow-through.

Why Elkington Motors
  • Direct impact: Your work lands in vehicles - fast.
  • Modern tech stack: Latest materials, rapid prototyping tools, and iterative design.
  • Low red tape: Clear goals, quick decisions, high accountability.

Details
  • Start date: Immediate
  • Work setting: On-site, shop/test environment; significant lifting, bending, and vehicle assembly work required.
  • Work authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S.
