About the Role

Our Hardware Engineering team is seeking a Senior Electrical Test Engineer to lead hardware testing across our EVSE product line and new products in development, while also contributing to sustaining engineering activities. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in all phases of hardware test; from requirements tracking and test plan development through fixture design, in-house and out-of-house test execution, and production line validation, combined with hands-on sustaining engineering skills including field failure investigation, root cause analysis, and minor PCBA design changes.

This role will partner closely with external test labs, contract manufacturers, automotive OEM customers, and internal firmware, mechanical, and compliance teams. Experience with high-power AC and DC electrical systems and custom PCBA design is essential. We are a small, collaborative team where versatility and ownership are highly valued.
