About the role
Who We Are:
At Voltify, we are building the next generation of rail - battery locomotives that fast charge autonomously and dynamically through a dedicated self-sustained microgrid network.
We are bringing back the power to the industry and eliminating the dependency on fossil fuels.
Lowering the rail industries main expense - energy - by more than 20%.
This is over $3B yearly just in North America.
We are already working with some of the largest global rail companies with over $50M in contingent orders.
We have raised over $30M from top tier funds and strategics and rapidly growing.
Our founding team has a proven track record in building billion $ public companies in renewable energy and infrastructure.
About The Role:
We’re looking for a skilled Electronic/Electrical Engineer to collaborate on the design of our battery electric locomotive. This is a hands-on role where you'll work across the full electrical system lifecycle—from design and integration to testing and production optimization.
We want a driven, fast-paced self-learner who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and isn't afraid to take on technical challenges in a rapidly growing company.
We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to shape the future of rail technology while building a generational multi-billion dollar company.
What You'll Do:
- Collaborate on system design and architecture for a battery electric locomotive - Partner with production engineering to optimize designs for manufacturing (DFM) - Develop schematic designs and low-speed PCB layouts for control systems - Design wire harnesses and cable routing for high-reliability applications - Implement robust communication protocols including CAN Bus, Ethernet, ModBus, and board-level protocols (I2C, SPI) - Design controllers and embedded systems for harsh industrial/automotive/locomotive environments - Conduct system and subsystem electrical testing, including automated test development - Integrate embedded systems and controllers with mechanical and software teams - Implement EMC mitigation strategies for high-voltage DC systems - Support embedded software integration and Linux-based system configurations - Ensure electrical safety in high-voltage DC environments (up to 1500V+)
What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of experience in electrical/electronic system design (automotive, marine, industrial, or rail preferred) - Hands-on experience with high voltage DC systems (1500V+) - Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools - we use KiCAD - Experience with communication protocols: CAN Bus, Ethernet, ModBus, I2C, SPI - Understanding of embedded systems and controller integration - we use STM32 - Familiarity with design techniques for harsh environments (vibration, temperature, EMC/EMI) - Basic Linux experience and comfort with automated testing concepts - Knowledge of wire harness design and routing principles - Experience with EMC/EMI mitigation techniques - Nice to have: Safety-critical system design experience (ISO 26262, EN 50126/8/9, or similar) - Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure startup environments - Proactive self-starter who can execute with minimal supervision - Passion for clean energy and sustainable transportation - Bonus: Experience with battery electric vehicles, BMS systems, or locomotive/rail applications - Bonus: Have built EN 50155 compliant devices, or familiarity with the standard. - Bonus 2: Loves trains
