Electric Era is hiring an Electrical Engineer to join our team as we move quickly toward shipping units into the field. As a generalist, you’ll be expected to take a major part in owning everything electrical for our battery pack, and you can help shape our company culture along with our design.
Responsibilities:
- Develop, refine, and simplify system level requirements and translate them into circuits (on- or off-PCB) that integrate with our system architecture.
- Lead multi-disciplinary root-causing efforts to identify design problems and roll out effective solutions.
- Deliver cost-optimized designs for battery storage systems and EV charging stations that are manufacturable by our in-house team or by our suppliers, including architectures, system wiring diagrams, and PCB schematics and layouts.
- Contribute to documentation and testing for regulatory certification, and create or revise designs that comply with safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.
- Identify electronic part sources that reduce supply chain dependency and system cost.
- Specify and integrate commercial power and control components such as transformers, relays, and power supplies into purpose-built control systems.
- Create ISO 9001-compliant electronic manufacturing test systems.
- Collaborate with our site implementation team to enable efficient, compliant, and reliable charging stations.
Qualifications and Preferred Skills:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering; Master’s degree is a plus.
- 2-6 years of professional experience, showing a strong portfolio of project work.
- Schematic entry and PCB layout - knowledge of Altium is a plus.
- Knowledge of bench power supplies, loads, multimeters, and oscilloscopes.
- Awareness of the principles of high-voltage safety.
- Knowledge of design for isolation and hi-pot testing.
- Thermal design for integrated circuits, power devices, and battery cells.
- A documentation mindset in schematic design and process execution.
- Passion for our mission to decarbonize the transportation industry.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Enthusiasm for taking on multiple roles and working across disciplines with a small team.
