• You will collaborate with our partners and customers to ensure optimal system-level design for our product line
• You will be responsible for continued success of your software in real world environments by championing and implementing appropriate software reliability practices as necessary
• You will mentor and educate other engineers to continuously elevate the Electric Era engineering team’s technical acumen
