About the Role

Build the future of electric trucks by designing systems that optimize range, performance, and real-world efficiency for trucks operating in customer fleets every day.

Responsibilities

• Lead development of vehicle-level energy management strategies across the full development lifecycle (modeling, simulation, embedded implementation and validation)
• Balance competing demands such as range, performance, durability, and driver comfort under real-world conditions
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams for hardware, software, electrical systems and vehicle integration
• Lead or contribute to validation activities for energy management controls in MiL, SiL, HiL and in-vehicle testing
• Correlate simulation results to real-world vehicle behavior, understand differences and maximize energy management systems outputs for a higher overall vehicle performance and high durability
• Use connected vehicle data to understand how e-systems perform in real operations including in fleet usage and make recommendations to improve efficiency and robustness for current and next-generation of e-vehicles
• Ensure alignment across requirements, models, software and validation results
• Contribute to continuous improvement using a structured engineering approach
• Provide technical leadership in energy management, help drive decisions, priorities and system-level solutions across engineering teams

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering and/or Computer Science with 5-7 years of relevant experience or 8+ years of experience in lieu of degree
