Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

We are looking for a Drive Unit Prototype Build Technician to lead in the assembly of our latest prototype motor developments. These latest gear-motor designs are on the cutting edge of technology and requires an individual with an immaculate attention to detail, ideally with a track record of building and debugging performance motors and transmissions. You will be relied upon for expert skill in identifying key issues during assembly for improvement in the next prototype phase. Work with a team of highly skilled technicians collaborating with our design engineers in order to propel our drive unit technology to the next level. 

Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination. Candidates should have demonstrated the ability to learn quickly and work effectively in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment and be excellent at multi-tasking.
