Experience with EMI troubleshooting, three-phase inverters, motor control, safety-critical automotive hardware, and relevant standards is preferred.

Lead hub and chassis dynamometer testing and validation for EV range and performance, develop SOPs and test cells, instrument vehicles, analyze large datasets to extract efficiency maps, and collaborate with powertrain, controls, thermal, and vehicle dynamics teams to meet certification and performance targets.

Design and develop door, hood, drop glass, and liftgate opening systems from concept through production. Create and optimize 3D geometry and designs using CAD, GD&T, analytical and physical testing, and ensure compliance with automotive regulations. Collaborate with design, manufacturing, suppliers, and present engineering solutions to senior management.

Lead concept development and detailed design of body structures, closures, exteriors, and chassis systems. Build and manage a hardware engineering team to create 3D geometry, meet cost/weight/function targets, optimize designs using analysis and testing, ensure regulatory compliance, implement GD&T, drive novel materials and manufacturing techniques to production, and collaborate with design, manufacturing, suppliers, and senior leadership through product launch.

Lead architecture, development, and deployment of end‑of‑line manufacturing test systems for electronic and electromechanical products. Own test strategy, supplier engagements, installation/validation, data analysis to improve yield and OEE, and ensure compliance. Mentor junior engineers and support NPI, DFT, and continuous improvement across cross‑functional teams.

Lead industrialization of thermal components for EV powertrains by bridging engineering, supply chain, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability and production readiness. Develop specs, perform DFM reviews, support 2-D drawings, conduct supplier evaluations and visits, define quality goals, manage PPAP/tooling capture, optimize cost, drive schedules, and help hire engineering and quality teams.

Lead and grow a battery validation team; commission and ramp the EVDC2 battery lab; manage daily operations, safety (HV and abuse testing), budgets, capital equipment, and test execution; align with cross-functional teams; drive data and automated test system strategy; and manage vendor partnerships to validate next-generation EV batteries.

Lead a small ME team to develop customer-facing electromechanical and electronics features from concept through prototype, validation, production release, and sustaining.
