We are supporting an electric vehicle development program focused on prototype EV platforms, battery systems, and integrated vehicle controls.
The team is seeking a Senior Electrical & Controls Engineer with experience in EV systems, embedded controls, power electronics, and battery management systems. This role is expected to begin as a contract engagement with the potential to convert to a full-time direct hire role.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement control systems for EV powertrains and battery systems
- Support BMS integration, inverter controls, CAN communication, and embedded systems development
- Collaborate with mechanical and systems engineering teams on integrated vehicle functionality
- Support prototype builds, validation, troubleshooting, and system testing
- Contribute to architecture decisions and long-term controls strategy
- Support functional safety and system reliability initiatives
Preferred Background:
- 7+ years of electrical engineering or embedded controls experience
- Experience with EV systems, BMS, power electronics, or inverter controls
- Strong understanding of CAN protocols, embedded systems, and controls integration
- Exposure to ISO26262 or functional safety environments preferred
- Experience working within prototype or early-stage vehicle programs strongly preferred
Compensation:
Contract:
- $95–$135/hr depending on controls architecture, BMS, embedded systems, and EV platform experience
