Why Maxwell?
At Maxwell, you will work directly on
production hardware used in real electric vehicles
and play a critical role in ensuring that every product leaving our manufacturing line meets its required quality and performance standards.
You will have the opportunity to build and improve the complete
hardware testing and automation ecosystem
, while working closely with Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality and external technology partners.
If you are someone who can
own a test system end-to-end, solve difficult production problems and build scalable automated testing solutions
, we'd like to hear from you.
