Automate diagnostics to enable deployment at scale across the fleet Fleet health Management: Define and monitor fleet reliability KPIs and charging performance metrics to maintain optimal fleet health. Use SQL and Python (NumPy, Pandas, or similar) to query fleet logs, proactively identify systemic performance gaps, and drive continuous improvement initiatives Executive Reporting: Author regular technical reports summarizing failure trends, countermeasure effectiveness, and actionable insights. Communicate complex technical findings clearly and concisely to executive leadership AI & Advanced Tooling: Leverage AI-powered tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate code generation, test automation, documentation development, and diagnostic reasoning
What You'll Bring
Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experienceStrong analytical skills with proficiency in SQL and Python for large-scale data analysis Experience with power electronics, electrical design, or failure analysis on products involving power converters, inverters, or control systems. Experience with EVSEs, vehicles, or battery storage products a plusProven hands-on experience using electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes) to troubleshoot and debug hardware Demonstrated experience with AI/LLM tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in engineering workflows to accelerate coding, debugging, documentation, and problem-solving Experience leading or participating in 8D or similar structured failure analysis processes, from identification through countermeasure implementation and monitoring Experience with reliability engineering methodologies (FMEA, DFMEA, FTA) and statistical analysis of fleet data to identify failure modes, evaluate product reliability, and drive improvements in charging products or vehicles Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to produce clear, concise written documentation Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration Work travel is expected to be <5% in this job.
