At Accelerated Systems Inc. (ASI), we design and manufacture high-performance motor controllers, motors, and software solutions for a wide range of electric vehicle and motion control applications. We're a team of innovators and builders who thrive on solving complex problems, and we’re driven by a passion for clean technology and engineering excellence.

We're looking for bold, curious minds to join us in shaping the future of electric mobility.

Position Overview

We're looking for a hands-on Mechatronics Engineer who is self-directed, dynamic, and deeply curious about how things work. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in mechatronics or related disciplines, thrives on building and testing, and relies on a mix of engineering principles and intuition to make smart, fast discoveries.

This role offers the chance to work on cutting-edge electric drive systems, collaborating across hardware, firmware, and mechanical teams to bring innovative designs to life.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test mechatronic systems for electric drive solutions
• Integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components into cohesive systems
• Collaborate on prototyping and troubleshooting motor controllers, sensors, and related subsystems
• Perform system-level testing, validation, and data analysis
• Work closely with the electrical engineering team on circuit design and layout (experience creating schematics and printed circuit board layout is a strong asset)
• Provide hands-on support during builds, test setups, and iterative development cycles (experience using machine tools is a strong asset)
• Contribute to continuous improvement of system performance, manufacturability, and reliability

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering or a related field
• Strong hands-on engineering skills — comfortable with tools, test equipment, prototyping, and debugging
• Demonstrated self-direction and ability to take initiative in fluid work environments
• Curiosity-driven mindset with a passion for understanding how systems work
• Excellent problem-solving skills across a broad range of disciplines
• Effective communication and collaboration skills

Preferred/Assets:

• Experience with electronics hardware, schematics, and PCB layout
• Familiarity with electric motors, motor controllers, or embedded systems
• Exposure to control systems, embedded firmware, and sensor interfacing
• Experience in automotive, robotics, or clean tech industries
