AI generated summary

  • You must pursue a relevant degree, have technical experience, coding skills (Python), CAD knowledge, and a strong interest in electric vehicles or sustainable energy.
  • You will design custom test equipment, manage project life cycles, write test software for automation, and maintain schedules to coordinate testing resources and update program managers.

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science or a related field
  • Proven technical experience through extracurricular activities, academic projects, passion projects, or equivalent experiences
  • Excellent grasp of engineering fundamentals with experience using power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, probing PCBAs, and reading schematics
  • Eagerness to collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering teams while able to work independently to drive large projects forward and overcome blockers; detail-oriented and execution focused
