We recruit against every layer of this stack — not just the job title on top of it.
Roles We Fill

Specialized powertrain positions, precisely defined

We source and evaluate against the exact layer, chemistry, and safety context a mandate requires.

BMS

BMS Architect

Battery-management architecture, cell balancing, and state-of-charge and state-of-health estimation.

BATTERY SAFETY

Battery Systems Safety Engineer

Thermal-runaway mitigation, ISO 26262 safety cases, and ASIL decomposition.

POWER ELECTRONICS

Power Electronics Engineer

Inverter and DC-DC topologies, gate drives, and high-voltage thermal management.

MOTOR CONTROL

Motor Control Engineer

Field-oriented control, traction algorithms, and firmware for electric motors.

CHARGING

Charging Infrastructure Engineer
