About Us

At Intramotev, we are liberating tons of freight from congested highways, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing transportation efficiency. We are deploying self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles to transform freight logistics and bring innovation to our rail network.

Based in St. Louis, MO, we are committed to promoting industrial revitalization and building a team that brings the same rigor to our people that we bring to our vehicles. We foster a work environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful, and inclusive, with great opportunities for professional growth. Find your future with us.

Role Overview

Intramotev is hiring an Electrical Engineering Co-Op (Vehicle Wiring) to build hands-on wire-harness and high-voltage vehicle-wiring experience on our electrical team while you finish your degree — with a direct path into the salaried Associate Electrical Engineer role at graduation, no re-interview required. This is a 100% on-site, hourly, non-exempt co-op based in St. Louis, MO, running the school year (August–May) with hours that flex around your courseload, and moving to full-time hours over the summer and between school years. You'll build wire harnesses, assemble panels and backplanes, and install high-voltage vehicle wiring from run lists, schematics, and BOMs, working alongside our technicians and under engineering mentorship. You'll work within a team of 3–10 engineers and technicians throughout both the co-op and, on satisfactory performance, the converted Associate Electrical Engineer role that follows it. The work is fully shop-floor based in St. Louis, MO, with no regular travel expected.

Key Responsibilities

• Wire Harness Build: Build and assemble wire harnesses from run lists, schematics, and BOMs alongside our electrical technicians.

• High-Voltage Installation: Install high-voltage vehicle wiring under engineering mentorship, following proper isolation, PPE, and lockout/tagout practice.

• Panel & Backplane Assembly: Assemble panels and backplanes to spec, correlating schematics and technical drawings to the physical build.

• Documentation: Record installation and test results accurately so the next technician or engineer can build on and service your work.

• Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Work alongside technicians and engineers on the shop floor, flagging issues early and taking on work beyond your immediate area as needed.

Compensation & Benefits

Co-op phase: $20–25/hour, hourly and non-exempt.

Base salary upon conversion to the salaried, exempt Associate Electrical Engineer role: $60,000–$80,000.

Upon conversion to the salaried Associate Electrical Engineer role, you'll receive Intramotev's full benefits package, including:

• Medical coverage: We cover 100% of employee medical premiums, plus low-cost dental and vision options.

• Vacation: Full-time employees enjoy unlimited paid time off.

• Equity: Full-time employees receive equity in the company.

• Parental leave: New parents receive paid time off to spend quality time with their family.

About You: Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience)

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, with enough time remaining before graduation to make the co-op-to-hire arc worthwhile.

• Foundational interest in high-voltage electrical systems and a willingness to learn safe practice around them — proper isolation, PPE, lockout/tagout — hands-on under supervision; prior HV exposure is a plus, not a bar to entry.

• Comfortable working hands-on with tools and equipment in a shop-floor environment, and able to follow — or quickly learn to follow — electrical schematics, wire run lists, and technical drawings.

• Schedule flexibility to work consistent shop-floor hours during the school year around a courseload.

• Fluent in both written and verbal English.

• Authorized to work in the U.S., including F-1 students on CPT/OPT; no H-1B or other work-visa sponsorship is offered.

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience)

Candidate should have a working knowledge of one or (ideally) multiple areas listed below:

• Exposure to EV powertrains or high-voltage battery management systems (BMS) through coursework or projects.

• Prior internship, co-op, or academic-project experience with vehicle wiring, high-voltage systems, or hands-on electrical fabrication.

• Familiarity with wire-harness engineering tooling — harness drawing/documentation software, connector and pinout definition, revision control of electrical documentation.

• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as CAN bus.

Typical Education and Experience

Education/experience typically acquired through in-progress advanced technical education (e.g., a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering), in place of prior years' related work experience, supplemented by coursework, academic projects, or internship/co-op experience relevant to vehicle wiring and high-voltage systems.

Relocation

This position does not offer relocation — the co-op is a local hire, open to St. Louis-area students who can work the shop floor throughout the school year without relocating.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Intramotev is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical or mental disability, genetic factors, military/veteran status or other characteristics protected by law.
