Electric Era was founded to revolutionize the world's electric vehicle charging infrastructure. We have developed PowerNode, a high performance and autonomous EV fast charging station that can be deployed anywhere on the grid to provide the necessary charging infrastructure innovation needed for the affordable and timely electrification of transportation. Electric Era is building the future of car refill for the next generation of drivers.

Role

Electric Era is hiring an Electrical Engineer to join our team as we move quickly toward shipping units into the field. As a generalist, you’ll be expected to take a major part in owning everything electrical for our battery pack, and you can help shape our company culture along with our design. 

Responsibilities

1. Develop, refine, and simplify system level requirements and translate them into circuits (on- or off-PCB) that integrate with our system architecture.
2. Lead multi-disciplinary root-causing efforts to identify design problems and roll out effective solutions.
3. Deliver cost-optimized designs for battery storage systems and EV charging stations that are manufacturable by our in-house team or by our suppliers, including architectures, system wiring diagrams, and PCB schematics and layouts.
4. Contribute to documentation and testing for regulatory certification, and create or revise designs that comply with safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.
5. Identify electronic part sources that reduce supply chain dependency and system cost.
6. Specify and integrate commercial power and control components such as transformers, relays, and power supplies into purpose-built control systems.
7. Create ISO 9001-compliant electronic manufacturing test systems.
8. Collaborate with our site implementation team to enable efficient, compliant, and reliable charging stations.

Qualifications & Preferred Skills

1. Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering; Master’s degree is a plus.
2. 2-6 years of professional experience, showing a strong portfolio of project work.
3. Schematic entry and PCB layout - knowledge of Altium is a plus.
4. Knowledge of bench power supplies, loads, multimeters, and oscilloscopes.
5. Awareness of the principles of high-voltage safety.
6. Knowledge of design for isolation and hi-pot testing.
7. Thermal design for integrated circuits, power devices, and battery cells.
8. A documentation mindset in schematic design and process execution.
9. Passion for our mission to decarbonize the transportation industry.
10. Strong verbal and written communication skills.
11. Enthusiasm for taking on multiple roles and working across disciplines with a small team.
