Experience with R&D, Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR), venture capital (VC), or similarly funded projects and work effort.

Nice To Haves

Desired work split: ~80% hands-on engineering and ~20% mentoring/similar.
Familiarity and experience with high-performance vehicles (electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric, race vehicles, Solar Car, Formula SAE, etc), including the design process and components.
Experience in design and fabrication for automotive environments (extreme temperature, shock, vibration, etc).

Responsibilities

Design experience with motors, motor controllers, power supplies, inverters/converters, and/or power electronics.
Design and development of embedded electronics containing microcontrollers, DSPs, programmable logic devices (FPGA, CPLD), memory, high-speed signaling, MEMS sensors, etc.
Development and editing of top-level system architectures.
Programming experience, especially with embedded C, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and/or Matlab Simulink Coder.
Electrical test and debug with industry standard tools (oscilloscope, in-circuit debug, digital multimeter, etc).
Custom PCB design experience from schematic entry and board layout through fabrication, assembly, and test.
Generate technical drawings of systems, components, and interfaces.
Mentor less experienced colleagues.
