The vehicle engineering team is small and growing, and this hire adds a second mechanical design stream so that we can develop new vehicle programs in parallel with the ones we are launching.
- You are a generalist who has shipped a vehicle or a large electromechanical machine. You have sized motors, gearboxes and brakes against real load cases, designed the weldment they bolt to, released the drawings, argued with the fab shop about tolerances, and then built and broken the first prototype yourself. Robotics, automotive, off-highway or material handling — the domain matters less than the habit of owning the whole mechanical problem, from the first sketch to the production change order.
- You are drawn to a small team where the design you release in one quarter is driving on a test lot the next. You...
