About Harbinger

Harbinger is an American commercial electric vehicle (EV) company on a mission to transform an industry starving for innovation. Harbinger’s best-in-class team of EV, battery, and drivetrain experts have pooled their deep experience to bring a first-of-its-kind EV platform to support the growing demand for medium-duty EVs and Hybrids. Harbinger: Familiar Form, Revolutionary Foundation.

Job Overview

As a Field Quality Engineer - Vehicle Systems and Integration at Harbinger Motors, you
aren’t just monitoring quality—you are the front-line detective ensuring our next-
generation electric vehicles redefine industry standards for uptime and durability. You
will bridge the gap between real-world performance and engineering design, using a mix
of hands-on troubleshooting and advanced data analytics to solve complex problems
before they impact the customer.

What You'll Do:

● Failure Analysis & Troubleshooting: Act as the primary technical expert for
diagnosing complex, systemic issues across mechanical, electrical, and software
domains. You’ll be the person digging into the "why" behind a fault code or a
structural fatigue point.
● Predictive Reliability: Utilize predictive reliability analysis to identify potential
failure modes in our fleet. You won't just wait for things to break; you’ll use
statistical tools to forecast when they might.
● Product Reliability Engineering: Partner with the hardware and software teams
to implement reliability growth plans. You will translate field data into actionable
design improvements.
● Data Management & Analytics: Own the feedback loop. You will manage field
performance data, ensuring it is clean, categorized, and funneled into the right
engineering sprints for rapid iteration.
● Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Service, Engineering, and
Manufacturing to close the loop on Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective
Actions (CAPA)

Who You Are:

● The Technical "Triple Threat": Proven experience troubleshooting mechanical
systems (chassis, drivetrain), electrical architectures (HV systems, wiring
harnesses), and software integration (CAN bus communication, over-the-air
updates).
● Analytical Rigor: Demonstrated disciplined and structured problem-solving skills,
with the ability to use field data, testing and engineering judgment to identify root
causes and evaluate effectiveness of corrective actions.
● Field Grit: You are comfortable working in the field, under a vehicle, or in a lab
setting. You thrive when the solution isn't in a manual.
● Communication Skills: The ability to translate high-level technical data into clear,
concise reports for executive leadership and actionable tasks for engineering
teams.

Required Qualifications

● Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Reliability Engineering (or
equivalent experience).
● 3-10 years of experience in Field Quality, Reliability Engineering, or a highly
technical Service Engineering role within the EV or automotive space.
● Strong proficiency in data management tools (SQL, Python, or specialized BI
platforms).
● Hands-on experience with diagnostic tools (Oscilloscopes, Multimeters,
CANalyzer/CANoe).
● Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed

About this role

Harbinger Motors is looking for someone who can serve as the technical backbone connecting their next-generation electric vehicles to real-world performance. In this role, you'll own the full cycle of field quality—from diagnosing why a vehicle failed in the field to working with engineering teams to prevent it from happening again. The work spans mechanical systems, high-voltage electrical architecture, and software integration, so you need genuine hands-on competency across all three domains, not just familiarity with one.

Your days will mix field troubleshooting, data analysis, and cross-functional problem-solving. You'll use diagnostic tools and statistical methods to spot failure patterns before they become fleet issues, manage the data pipeline that feeds engineering sprints, and translate complex technical findings into reports for both executives and engineering teams. This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable under a vehicle and in front of a spreadsheet, and who can think systematically about root causes rather than just swapping parts.

You'll need 3–10 years in field quality, reliability engineering, or technical service roles within automotive or EV, a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline, and solid proficiency with data tools like SQL or Python and diagnostic equipment like oscilloscopes and CANalyzer. The position is based in either Sturgis, Michigan or Loudon, Tennessee, and requires willingness to travel to customer sites.
