The Challenge: Building A Top-Tier Embedded Engineer Team in a Competitive Market

Imagine being a pioneer in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, leading the way in Level 2 and 3 DC Fast Chargers. When a major client in the Greater Washington D.C. area needed an embedded engineer team to join them on-site, the challenge was clear: finding the perfect fit in a highly competitive market. These engineers needed not only deep technical expertise in EV technology but also the ability to seamlessly integrate into a new company culture. Traditional recruiting methods were falling short.

The EPG Solution: Targeted Expertise and Local Focus

That’s where EPG stepped in. We understood the unique demands of this placement, requiring an engineer team who could not only handle the complexities of EV charging systems but also thrive in an embedded environment. Here’s how EPG made the difference:
