What To Expect

This is an opportunity to become part of a fast-growing, world-class organization supporting the latest energy technologies. We are setting the standard that will continue to transform and revolutionize the EV fast charging industry and commercial energy storage. The Tooling, Process & Training team is responsible for developing the hardware and processes used during service & commissioning. This skilled and motivated individual will keep pushing this evolving energy industry forward by collaborating with engineers, leading manufacturing of local service-driven hardware, and deploying vertically designed mobile battery units in areas of need.

What You'll Do

• Design and construct electrical panels, including wiring diagrams, harness assembly, specification and integration of off-the-shelf components, and related systems to support high-performance energy solutions
• Own end-to-end hardware manufacturing processes, from ordering components and fabricating custom elements (e.g., cables and PCBAs) to building, assembling, quality control, and shipping to deployment sites
• Document design feedback meticulously on both electrical and mechanical aspects, ensuring continuous improvement and knowledge sharing
• Manage connectors, crimping, and wire harnesses, including building, routing, and seamless integration into complex assemblies
• Optimize manufacturing layouts and processes to maximize efficiency, achieving more output with minimal space and resources
• Lead surge builds during high-demand periods, coordinating parts, space, and team resources to rapidly produce and deploy products in emergent situations
