• Job Type: Full time

We are passionate about solving hard problems. We create with passion delivering extraordinary solutions to change the world. We challenge…competitors, bureaucracy, obstacles and even our own assumptions. We have zero tolerance for bias or personal agendas. We are swift and decisive… trusting the experts, believing the data, seeking out and listening to bold intuition – regardless of the source. We are insurgents…never satisfied, averse to complexity, suspicious of habits and open to risk. We constantly learn. We focus on the mission and deliver with urgency and speed. We are an agile team… leveraging rapidly evolving technology to innovate, fail fast and pivot. We trust each other, surface issues openly and solve problems collaboratively. Most importantly we raise the talent bar with every hire.

What you'll do...

• Collaborate with Engineering, Design, and Manufacturing teams to develop innovative engineering solutions that enable integrated vehicle systems, efficient manufacturing processes, and key styling themes
• Develop and prototype concepts that improve product cost, mass, efficiency, manufacturability, serviceability, and user experience
• Drive cross functional product architecture trades between vehicle subsystems (interiors, closures, chassis, thermal, powertrain, electrical distribution, etc.) to determine product direction
• Identify and resolve geometrical incompatibilities between systems through first principles and concept 3D
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, technicians, and suppliers to procure and build physical properties

You'll have...

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or equivalent
• 5+ years experience in automotive or related field, EV preferred
• Strong engineering fundamentals, and ability to apply broadly to vehicle systems and manufacturing processes
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills with excellent written and verbal communication

Even better, you may have...

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Strong proficiency in Atlassian tools (Confluence, JIRA)
• Strong verbal and written communication
