About Elkington Motors We build high-performance electric vehicles that are affordable, personalized, and built to last. Our team is small, fast, and obsessively hands-on, designing, testing, and iterating to ship real product, not slide decks. The Role Youll be the electrical owner who brings our EV powertrain to life, integrating motors, inverters, battery systems, and control units into a cohesive, reliable system. Expect to wire, crimp, solder, flash, log, and troubleshoot until everything works flawlessly on the bench and on the road. What Youll Do Integrate motors, inverters, battery packs/BMS, DC-DCs, chargers, and VCUs into complete vehicle systems. Own low-voltage and high-voltage harness bring-up: routing, terminations, strain relief, labeling, and documentation. Diagnose and resolve electrical issues (gremlins) across HV/LV systems using DMMs, oscilloscopes, and CAN tools. Flash, configure, and validate VCUs, inverters, and BMS firmware; support calibration and parameter tuning. Design simple test fixtures and procedures for bench validation and pre-road-test verification. Collaborate with Controls on software releases and with Mechanical on packaging, grounding, and thermal. Maintain clean, safe, well-documented work: schematics, pinouts, firmware versions, and change logs.
Must-Haves B.S. in Electrical Engineering (required). 2+ years of full-time, professional experience in electrical systems (automotive, EV, e-mobility, robotics, or similar). Proficiency with wiring, crimping, soldering, harness building, and reading schematics. Comfort with CAN bus (DBC basics, logging, and analysis) and flashing embedded controllers. Strong hands-on troubleshooting mindset; you can isolate faults methodically and fix them. Startup attitude: ownership, urgency, and whatever-it-takes follow-through.
Nice-to-Haves (Not Required) EV domain exposure: BMS, inverter control, contactor logic, pre-charge, HV safety. Tools: Vector/Kvaser CAN, oscilloscope fundamentals, KiCad/Altium basics. Familiarity with ISO 26262 concepts, FMEA, or automotive validation practices. Basic CAD literacy for packaging/routing collaboration. HV safety training or ASE L3 Light-Duty Hybrid/Electric certification.
Why Elkington Motors Direct impact: Your work lands in vehiclesfast. Modern tech stack: Latest EV components, tools, and rapid iteration. Low red tape: Clear goals, quick decisions, high accountability. Competitive pay & benefits: We take care of the people who build the product.
Details Start date: Immediate Work setting: On-site, shop/test environment; some lift, bend, and vehicle work required. Work authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S.
