About this role
About the Role Volt is seeking an Electrical Engineer specializing in Power Electronics to diagnose, test, and troubleshoot power electronics and rotating machinery. You will support high-voltage component installation, validation, and safety compliance, and analyze CAN bus data to inform system improvements. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues and document results. What You'll Do
- Perform hands-on diagnostics, testing, and troubleshooting of power electronics and rotating machinery systems, including motors, rotors, bearings, and mechanical/electrical interfaces.
- Support installation, validation, and maintenance of high-voltage components, ensuring insulation resistance requirements and safety standards.
- Capture, interpret, and analyze CAN bus data, including J1939 communication, using tools such as P-CAN Explorer, CANalyzer, and CANape.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve electrical and mechanical issues affecting system performance.
- Document findings, test results, and corrective actions with clarity and technical accuracy.
- Contribute to system-level improvements through root-cause analysis and component-level insights.
- Investigate electronic application and systems problems, understand causal mechanisms, recommend action, own problem resolution and document results with guidance from more experienced team members.
- Apply and improve electronic application and systems development processes and tools, including system specification, modeling and simulation, calibration, Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), and troubleshooting.
- Apply tools for simulation, calibration, and product life maintenance as required.
- Make decisions in the areas of electronic and electrical system design, requirements, calibration, and test that impact the quality and performance of calibrated subsystems and electronic subsystems.
- Deliver independent execution of established and emerging work processes and systems, while continuing to develop technology or product knowledge.
- Provide support and guidance to influence technical direction within a project team and develop proficiency in critical competency areas. What We're Looking For
- Electrical engineering background with strong foundational understanding of circuits, high-voltage systems, and power electronics.
- Deep system understanding and practical troubleshooting.
- Experience with high voltage systems, analyzing complex communication data, and bridging electrical and mechanical domains.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience working directly with hardware (this is not a project-management role).
- Proficiency in interpreting CAN traces and working with J1939 protocols.
- Ability to work with mechanical subsystems such as motors, rotors, and bearings, understanding their interaction with electrical components.
- Experience evaluating insulation resistance and other high-voltage safety metrics. Compensation & Benefits
- Pay Range: $40.00/hr to $65.00/hr.
- Benefits: health, dental, vision, term life, short term disability, AD&D, 401(k), sick time, and other types of paid leaves (as required by law), Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
