Electronics Engineer, Battery-Electric Locomotive Systems

About the Role We’re looking for a skilled Electronic/Electrical Engineer to collaborate on the design of our battery electric locomotive. This is a hands‑on role where you'll work across the full electrical system lifecycle—from design and integration to testing and production optimization. We want a driven, fast‑paced self‑learner who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and isn't afraid to take on technical challenges in a rapidly growing company. We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to shape the future of rail technology while building a generational multi‑billion dollar company. What You’ll Do Collaborate on system design and architecture for a battery electric locomotive Partner with production engineering to optimize designs for manufacturing (DFM) Develop schematic designs and low‑speed PCB layouts for control systems Design wire harnesses and cable routing for high‑reliability applications Implement robust communication protocols including CAN Bus, Ethernet, ModBus, and board‑level protocols (I2C, SPI) Design controllers and embedded systems for harsh industrial/automotive/locomotive environments Conduct system and subsystem electrical testing, including automated test developmentIntegrate embedded systems and controllers with mechanical and software teams Implement EMC mitigation strategies for high‑voltage DC systems Support embedded software integration and Linux‑based system configurations Ensure electrical safety in high‑voltage DC environments (up to 1500V+) What We’re Looking For 3+ years of experience in electrical/electronic system design (automotive, marine, industrial, or rail preferred) Hands‑on experience with high voltage DC systems (1500V+) Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools - we use KiCAD Experience with communication protocols: CAN Bus, Ethernet, ModBus, I2C, SPI Understanding of embedded systems and controller integration - we use STM32 Familiarity with design techniques for harsh environments (vibration, temperature, EMC/EMI) Basic Linux experience and comfort with automated testing concepts Knowledge of wire harness design and routing principles Experience with EMC/EMI mitigation techniques Nice to have: Safety‑critical system design experience (ISO 26262, EN 50126/8/9, or similar) Ability to thrive in fast‑paced, high‑pressure startup environments Proactive self‑starter who can execute with minimal supervision Passion for clean energy and sustainable transportation Bonus: Experience with battery electric vehicles, BMS systems, or locomotive/rail applications Bonus: Have built EN 50155 compliant devices, or familiarity with the standard. #J-18808-Ljbffr
