Locomotive Electrical Technician

Intramotev • St. Louis, MO

15h • $26 - $32 • Onsite

About The Position

At Intramotev, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the freight industry by liberating tons of freight from congested highways, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing transportation efficiency. We are deploying self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles to transform freight logistics and bring innovation to our rail network. Based in St. Louis, MO, we are committed to promoting industrial revitalization, saving lives, and minimizing the environmental impact of trucking/transportation. We actively foster a work environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunities for professional growth. Find your future with us.

We are seeking a skilled Locomotive Electrical Technician to execute the electrical assembly and wiring of new self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles in our St. Louis facility. The center of gravity for this role is in-shop fabrication — installing electrical controllers, battery systems, electric motor systems, and harnesses — with occasional field service support of fielded vehicles at customer sites as a secondary duty. You'll work as a hands-on, mid-level technician on the shop floor within our Engineering/Manufacturing organization. This is a full-time, 100% in-office role based in St. Louis, MO. You'll work within a team of 3–10 engineers and technicians and engage in occasional domestic travel (roughly 10%) for field service, testing, and customer interactions.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience working on large-scale electrical systems for vehicles (e.g., trucks, construction equipment, rail) or heavy industrial equipment (e.g., presses, assembly lines).
• Demonstrated proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics and technical drawings.
• Experience with fabrication tools, shop equipment, and electrical diagnostic equipment.
• Willingness to learn new systems and take on tasks beyond your immediate area of expertise.
• Open-minded and comfortable working as a hands-on individual contributor in a small-team shop environment.
• Willingness to travel domestically on occasion (roughly 10%) for field service support.
• Fluent in both written and verbal English.
• U.S. Person (immigration or work visa sponsorship will not be provided).

Nice To Haves

• Locomotive, railcar, or other rail-industry electrical experience, including knowledge of rail industry safety standards and equipment.
• Experience with Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrains or high-voltage battery management systems (BMS) — our railcars are battery-electric vehicles, so EV experience translates directly even without rail time.
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as CAN bus.
• Technical degree or certification in Electrical Systems, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Execute the electrical assembly and wiring of large-scale self-propelled rail vehicles, including the installation of electrical controllers, battery systems, electric motor systems, and harnesses.
• Translate electrical requirements, schematics, and interface specifications into physical wiring and hardware layouts.
• Support the testing and validation of system performance, ensuring all hardware meets rigorous industrial safety and performance standards.
• Use diagnostic tools to troubleshoot high-voltage and low-voltage electrical issues during build and bring-up.
• Provide occasional on-site maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of fielded vehicles at customer sites.
• Work closely with engineering and production teams to provide feedback on manufacturability and system performance.
• Maintain detailed records of assembly processes, service actions, and system modifications.

Benefits

• Medical coverage: We cover 100% of employee medical premiums, plus low-cost dental and vision options.
• Vacation: Hourly employees accrue paid time off and receive paid company holidays.
• Parental leave: New parents receive paid time off to spend quality time with their family.
• Competitive relocation package
