Job Description

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
