Company Description

Litens has been a leader in delivering efficient, high performance and reliable vehicles for decades. Today our focus is on moving the EV revolution forward. We are a high performance, fast paced and innovative team. We are focused on a sustainable future and developing technologies that get us there sooner. We have a nimble organization structure and a lot of room for talented people to experience all aspects of what it means to bring ideas to life.

The role electronics play in EV’s cannot be overstated. We are growing our mechatronics team rapidly. We need an innovative and driven engineer who wants to build not only products but a team that can deliver on big goals and in record time. We have advanced concepts in coolant pumps that support energy recovery and fast charging that we need your help to deliver to the market with great speed and greater quality. We’re going to change the EV landscape and help the environment while doing so, if this sounds like a movement you want to help lead, this is the role for you.
