Requirements:
- 4+ years of full-time, post-graduation industry experience in electrical engineering roles.
- Strong knowledge of power electronics (inverters, rectifiers, DC/DC converters).
- Proven track record of creating electrical diagrams, wiring schematics, PCB layouts, and cabinet designs to guide production.
- Extensive experience with battery management systems and energy storage principles.
- Hands-on experience delivering high-voltage / high-current systems that meet rigorous safety standards for real customers or deployed products.
- Familiarity with microcontrollers and/or embedded systems, including hardware–software integration.
- Experience using electrical CAD tools, lab equipment, and diagnostic tools.
