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 inbuilding 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
