Top Requirements

• Direct vehicle electrification experience—even limited exposure is valuable.
• Proven success integrating high-voltage components within vehicles.
• Experience with electro-hydraulic pump integration (or similar systems).
• Strong systems-level, whole-vehicle perspective (not just component-level).
• Defense industry experience a plus (fuel economy, weapons integration, payload management).

Why Join Us?

• Work on a wide variety of vehicles, products, and applications.
• Make a direct impact on the future of vehicle electrification.
• Competitive hourly pay, full benefits, and long-term career opportunity.
