About this role

Harbinger Motors is building electric medium-duty vehicles, and this role puts you at the center of getting those vehicles working reliably in customers' hands. As a Technical Specialist on the Customer Deployments team, you'll split your time between the Garden Grove headquarters supporting prototype and manufacturing builds, and customer sites providing field support for deployed fleets—with roughly half your time spent traveling. You'll be the technical bridge between Harbinger's engineering team and external service partners, troubleshooting real-world issues, collecting data, developing service procedures, and training technicians across the service network.

The role demands someone with at least five years of hands-on workshop or dealer shop experience, ideally with exposure to electric and high-voltage systems. You'll need to be comfortable working across multiple technical disciplines—from vehicle systems and CAN communication to fixture projects and equipment calibration—and self-directed enough to execute tasks with incomplete information. Factory OEM training and familiarity with Vector CANoe/CANalyzer tools are valued. Beyond the technical skills, Harbinger is looking for someone who thinks creatively, communicates clearly, and thrives in a collaborative environment where you're equally comfortable on the shop floor and interfacing with engineers and customers.
