- Understanding of programming logic and how software controls mechatronic systems
- Knowledge of applicable industry standards and safety requirements
- Meticulous attention to detail and strong technical documentation skills
- Robust written, verbal, and presentation skills
- Logical and methodical approach to problem-solving

Nice-to-have:

- Experience with SysML and Model-Based Systems Engineering methodologies
- Experience with EV batteries and high-voltage/high-capacity battery systems
- Understanding of vehicle control logic and software
- Experience with system safety and FMEA
- Knowledge of functional safety standards including ISO 13849 and IEC 61508
- Experience working within electrical, mechanical, software, or safety engineering disciplines




- Experience managing multiple projects, requirements, and priorities simultaneously

To really impress:

- Experience working on electric vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, mining equipment, or industrial electrification systems
- Strong knowledge of battery packs, BMS, charging systems, and vehicle controllers
- Experience defining interfaces between hardware, software, and mechanical systems
- Experience with SysML, MagicGrid, or Object-Oriented Systems Engineering methodologies
- Scripting or software development experience using Python, JavaScript, or similar
- Strong understanding of functional safety concepts and safety-critical system development
