Job Description

Shape tomorrow’s mobility—one system at a time

Picture your day: you start by reviewing last night’s test runs, correlating data against specifications you authored. Before lunch, you refine a set of control algorithms, then collaborate with manufacturing and quality teams to troubleshoot a performance variance.
