Polaris • Wyoming, MN

67d • $83,000 - $109,000

About The Position

Join Polaris as a Vehicle Electrical Control Systems (VECS) Engineer and help shape the future of Off-Road Vehicles. In this role, you will define requirements for innovative electrical features that enhance the rider experience, using modeling and simulation tools to refine and validate your work (left side of the V-model). You will also develop and execute system integration plans, ensuring the successful deployment of electrical features into new vehicle applications (right side of the V-model). This role involves close collaboration with business leaders, architects, and other stakeholders to accurately translate customer and business needs into engineering requirements, and includes unique opportunities for hands-on work through prototyping and integration activities. This is an exciting and dynamic role on a growing team that has a direct impact on the Polaris Off-Road Vehicle rider experience!
