Electrical Technician

This role focuses on building, integrating, and supporting electrified freight rail cars as a key member of a collaborative Build & Integration team. You will work hands-on with electrical and mechanical systems to assemble, wire, test, and troubleshoot complex equipment, ensuring reliable performance from initial build through the entire product lifecycle.

• Perform hands-on electrical build tasks, including soldering, crimping, component wiring, and cable assembly based on wiring diagrams, schematics, and verbal instructions.
• Assemble and integrate components into complete systems, including pneumatics, hydraulics, drive trains, high- and low-voltage power systems, cooling circuits, sensors, and control components.
• Operate, inspect, troubleshoot, and repair electrical equipment to ensure systems perform reliably and meet operational requirements.
• Support system assembly, integration, testing, and troubleshooting as part of a multi-disciplinary Build & Integration team.
• Diagnose and resolve issues on fielded systems, providing comprehensive support throughout the entire product lifecycle.
• Use hand tools and power tools safely and effectively to complete electrical and mechanical assembly tasks.
• Interpret and follow wiring diagrams, blueprints, and schematics to ensure accurate installation and integration of components.
• Apply knowledge of rail, electric vehicle systems, ISO 9001 standards, and NEC guidelines while performing electrical work, as applicable.
• Collaborate closely with team members to adapt to evolving build designs and operational changes introduced through prioritized capability enhancements.

• Hands-on experience with electrical systems, including installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
• Experience with basic electrical systems such as starters, fuses, contacts, and relays.
• Ability to troubleshoot and repair complex control systems and instrumentation.
• Experience in motor control and variable frequency drives.
• Proficient soldering skills for reliable electrical connections.
• Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and blueprints.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills to identify and resolve faults efficiently.
• Experience with electrical assembly and wiring of components and systems.
• Comfort working with both high- and low-voltage power systems.
• Ability to perform occasional heavy lifting, pulling, pushing, stooping, climbing, reaching, bending, and working in awkward positions.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills to work successfully within a collaborative team environment.

• Experience working with rail or electric vehicle systems.
• Familiarity with ISO 9001 quality standards.
• Knowledge of NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines.
• Experience integrating pneumatics, hydraulics, drive trains, cooling circuits, sensors, and control components.
• Proficiency with hand tools and power tools used in electrical and mechanical assembly.
• Ability to adapt to evolving build designs and changing operational requirements.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to detail and safety.

You will join a forward-thinking organization that is committed to advancing the future of rail technology and building a more sustainable, efficient freight rail network. The work environment encourages innovation, allowing you to contribute to cutting-edge projects that blend rail's historic foundation with next-generation solutions. You will have the opportunity to grow your career through impactful, hands-on work where your contributions directly influence the performance and reliability of modern electrified rail systems.

You will work as part of dynamic teams of approximately 3 to 10 members across a variety of projects, collaborating closely in a highly interactive and supportive environment. The role follows a consistent Monday–Friday schedule from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, providing predictable working hours. The work involves hands-on tasks with electrical and mechanical systems, using hand tools and power tools in a shop or industrial setting.
