Electrical Hardware Engineer

OverviewA fast growing engineering team is building fully electric boats from the ground up. The focus is on delivering vessels that are quieter, faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain by applying first principles engineering from aerospace and EV development. The team is scaling and adding key technical roles as they expand their electric platform. RoleThe Electrical Hardware Engineer will join a small, high impact group at the Los Angeles headquarters. This role works hands on across propulsion, powertrain, and onboard electrical systems and reports directly to the Lead Electrical Hardware Engineer.
