To be successful in this role, you should possess a strong background in building complex hardware and a passion for solving problems from first principles. We require the following qualifications:

• At least 5 years of professional experience as a fabricator or technician, specifically with large-scale projects like vehicles, ships, or aircraft.
• Deep technical knowledge of electric powertrains and propulsion systems.
• Proven ability to translate sketches and ideas into functional mechanical and electrical prototypes.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to document objectives and provide clear status updates to both technical and non-technical partners.
• A high school diploma is required, though an Associate degree or technical certification from an accredited automotive institution is preferred.
• Comfort working in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.

Compensation and benefits

We believe in supporting our team members and their families through a comprehensive benefits package. Our offerings include:

• High-quality medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer contributions.
