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
