Company:

Electric Era was founded to decarbonize and electrify transportation by powering all of EV charging. Transitioning the global car refill supply chain to electric will take decades of focused and intense work to solve the fundamental engineering challenges required to generate, store, transmit and distribute electricity for a global fleet of electric cars.

Today Electric Era is actively building the technologies that make it possible to rapidly transition our car energy infrastructure to electricity. We are dedicated to solving this audacious challenge and to building the cutting edge technology that powers the world.

Role:

As a test engineer, you will be responsible for qualification and acceptance test campaigns of our products, both in design and execution. You will be responsible for hardware-in-the-loop testbeds. If electrical systems misbehave in either test or production environments, you will take the lead on investigation and follow-up with design changes to address them. You will write software and design hardware and test frameworks to enable our test programs to scale as we move to high-volume manufacturing.

Joining Electric Era’s engineering team is like joining a special forces team - deploying reliable charging that elevates the driver experience and provides a critical infrastructure service for America demands no less. EV charging brings together challenges of reliability of complex, high-power electrical systems, software interfaces, interoperability, and extreme environmental loads in a single problem space.

Responsibilities:

  • You will own end-to-end development and operation of the qualification and test campaigns for all existing and new variants of Electric Era’s products
  • You will source requirements cross-functionally to produce optimal first principles designs and will present and defend those design decisions
  • You will be directly responsible for one or more electrical systems in Electric Era’s products across the product lifecycle, including development, operation, and certification
  • You will develop and maintain hardware elements of test software, test hardware, and continuous integration systems in production to achieve best-in-class operational functionality of Electric Era’s hardware
  • You will collaborate with our external vendors and partner to ensure we can maintain our firmware and hardware interfaces and adequately test for regressions in our product line
  • You will mentor and educate other engineers to continuously elevate the Electric Era engineering team’s technical acumen

Qualifications and Preferred Skills:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Track record of delivering, operating, and maintaining test infrastructure for products involving hardware and external parties
  • Track record of taking hardware products through qualification and test campaigns
  • Experience in mission- and safety-critical test development for hardware
  • Demonstrated track record showcasing end-to-end technical ownership of business-critical products through a production lifecycle
  • Development experience in test software
  • Capability to support operations at Electric Era charging station locations, after hours and on weekends as needed
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
