Associate Systems Engineer

At Intramotev, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the freight industry by liberating tons of freight from congested highways, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing transportation efficiency. We are deploying self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles to transform freight logistics and bring innovation to our rail network.

Based in St. Louis, MO, we are committed to promoting industrial revitalization, saving lives, and minimizing the environmental impact of trucking and transportation. We actively foster a work environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunities for professional growth. Find your future with us.

We are seeking an Associate Systems Engineer to join the systems team supporting the development of our self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles. This is a full-time, 100% in-office role based in St. Louis, MO. You’ll contribute across the full systems development lifecycle of an autonomous rail vehicle — requirements engineering, interface management, systems integration, and verification and validation — decomposing customer and operational needs across mechanical, electrical, software, and controls, and helping keep the design honest as it moves from concept to vehicle.

You’ll work within a team of 1–10 engineers and engage in occasional domestic travel for testing, integration, demonstrations, and customer interactions.

• Requirements Engineering: Capture customer and operational needs and decompose them into clear, testable requirements across mechanical, electrical, software, and controls, maintaining traceability from requirement to test.

• Interface Management: Support the definition and control of interfaces between subsystems, keeping interface documentation accurate as the design evolves.

• Systems Integration: Participate in bringing subsystems together on real vehicles, and support troubleshooting the issues that only appear at integration.

• Testing & Validation: Execute test plans, capture evidence, and support regulatory certification and safety-critical validation activities.

• Configuration & Architecture Support: Help maintain system architecture artifacts and configuration baselines, including contributions to MBSE/SysML models under senior-engineer direction.

Base salary: $65,000-$85,000 plus equity

Intramotev offers a comprehensive benefits package for all team members, including:

• Medical coverage: We cover 100% of employee medical premiums, plus low-cost dental and vision options.

• Vacation: Full-time employees enjoy unlimited paid time off.

• Equity: Full-time employees receive equity in the company.

• Parental leave: New parents receive paid time off to spend quality time with their family.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, or a physical science. Open to December 2026 and May 2027 graduates.

• 0–2 years of experience with integrated hardware/software systems, including relevant internship, co-op, or university research/project experience.

• Exposure to the systems engineering lifecycle — requirements, design, integration, verification, validation — through coursework, capstone, or work experience.

• Ability to write clear, testable requirements and trace a requirement to the test that proves it.

• Comfortable working across disciplines with mechanical, electrical, software, and controls engineers.

• Hands-on aptitude — willing to be on the vehicle during integration and test.

• Willingness to learn new systems and take on work beyond the immediate area of expertise.

• Fluent in both written and verbal English.

• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. F-1 OPT is supported.
