Electrical Engineer

Location: Rancho Dominguez, CA

Department: Electrical Engineering

About the role

Motivo is looking for high-caliber Electrical Engineers to join our project teams as we develop world-changing technologies.

• An engineering role at Motivo means broad ownership and education. There are no "cogs in the machine" here. You’ll be responsible for ideation and feature definition, system-level design, client and vendor relationships, and hands-on hardware bring-ups. You’ll have a seat at the table with CEOs/CTOs and have a voice to contribute to product strategy and viability. We are a premium engineering consultancy, and our clients’ success depends on you actually being involved in shaping the big picture.

Qualifications

• Success at Motivo is largely driven by hard-work, creativity, and collaboration. Some baseline experience we’re looking for involves hardware design (PCB, wire harness, electronic systems), hands-on skills (debugging, bench testing, soldering), and firmware/software development (C/C++, test scripting, version control). Everyone has a mix of experience, which we value, but we tend to look closely for people who get excited to learn new things and expand their skillset.

Benefits

We’re convinced that the team and the projects are hands-down the best part of working at Motivo. To support that, we offer a solid benefits package including high-quality insurance, a 401(k) match, generous vacation time, and our Monday–Thursday 4/10 work week. We offer profit-sharing bonuses, which are tied to overall company performance, because we believe in winning together; we’re transparent about the company’s numbers, and when our hard work drives financial success, employees may share in the upside.

• Base Salary Range: $80,000 - $110,000
• Salary is dependent on experience, knowledge, and interview performance.
