Job Description
In this role, you’ll be part of a team responsible for reliability and manufacturing testing of advanced electrical hardware, including Level 3+ ADAS, telematics, infotainment, battery management, and zonal Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
The team designs and builds custom automated test solutions that include internal software, low-level firmware, data management platforms, and electromechanical hardware. These solutions are deployed across internal labs, external partners, and contract manufacturing facilities.
You’ll play a key hands-on technical role—supporting reliability and manufacturing tests, reviewing and reporting test data, building first articles, redlining schematics, and troubleshooting complex issues.
Responsibilities
- Operate software interfaces to exercise test equipment during hardware bring-up.
- Validate system functionality using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, power supplies, digital multimeters, etc.).
- Own calibration and mechanical setup of thermal and vibration chambers.
- Troubleshoot, identify root causes, and document device-under-test (DUT), test equipment, and harness failures.
- Perform circuit board electronic modifications, including component rework and soldering/de-soldering.
- Support the commissioning and validation of new test systems.
Qualifications
- Technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience in electronics testing.
- Ability to read electrical schematics, drawings, and product data sheets.
- 5+ years of experience building automated test equipment (ATE) or industrial automation systems.
- Proficient with soldering, circuit board rework, and power tools.
- Strong experience with electrical testing using laboratory tools.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace applications.
- Ability to lift and move test boxes and instrumentation.
- Hands-on, proactive approach with the ability to identify and address gaps independently.
