The Pod Engineering Division is responsible for the design and development of the HyperPod, the Hyperloop transportation systems. These include the overall vehicle structure, levitation and linear motor integration, thermal management, on-board power, vehicle dynamics, structural dynamics, lifing, suspension system, braking system, and ancillary mechanical systems as well as the structural elements the vehicle. We are seeking candidates with various levels of experience to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals at our Los Angeles facility.

Responsibilities

As a Mechatronics engineer, you will work on developing a world class system in terms of performance and passenger comfort for Hyperloop Pods and Transporters. We are looking for candidates passionate for developing next generation products in transportation and skilled in providing efficient solutions while working under tight deadlines.

As part of the design team, you will work closely with peers in the pod team, controls team and hardware team to develop redundant instrumentation schemes for test and production level systems, including sensor selection, positioning, interfacing and signal processing. You will also be responsible for electro-mechanical component design. Participation in design reviews, product benchmarking, and overall system optimization studies.
