About this role

Supporting Harbinger's deployed electric vehicle fleet requires someone who can move fluidly between customer sites, dealer locations, and the company's Garden Grove headquarters to troubleshoot real-world vehicle issues and guide infrastructure decisions. You'll work as a technical expert within the Customer Deployments team, partnering with engineering and external service partners to keep vehicles running reliably while also influencing how the service network operates at scale. The role blends hands-on diagnostics with strategic thinking—you'll diagnose and resolve problems in the field, develop service procedures, train technicians, and contribute to design improvements based on what you learn from deployed fleets.

This position demands someone with at least five years of workshop or dealer shop experience who understands vehicle electrical systems, building electrical codes, and ideally has worked with EV or high-voltage systems. Experience with CAN communication protocols and diagnostic tools like Vector CANoe is valued. You'll need a bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent hands-on experience, a valid driver's license, and comfort with travel that can reach 60 percent. The role rewards people who can self-manage across ambiguous situations, communicate clearly with diverse technical teams, and think creatively when solving complex problems.

Harbinger offers competitive compensation between $120,000 and $160,000, plus early-stage stock options, comprehensive health coverage, 401(k) matching, generous PTO, parental leave, and wellness benefits. The hybrid arrangement lets you split time between customer deployments and headquarters work in the Los Angeles area.
