    JOB DESCRIPTION

    This role will design mechanical test systems for vehicle electronics. You"ll work on developing mechanical solutions for design characterization, validation, and manufacturing.

    Responsibilities

    • Design modular and reusable mechanical fixtures for testing vehicle electronics.

    • This will start with manual bench-top setups and will evolve to fully automated systems for volume production

    • Work with cross-functional engineering groups to define mechanical test requirements for electronics and drive design decisions that help with the testability of ECUs.

    • Design custom mechanical interfaces to connect to ECUs.

    • This can range from pogo-pin connections to bed-of-nails style probing

    • Design rack-based test systems that reduce complexity and improve build time when replicating at scale

    • Create well documented diagrams, bills of materials, and standard operating procedures for test automation systems

    • Develop and release drawings, BOM and specifications.

    • Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors during purchasing, station build, integration and final commissioning

    • provide technical oversight to vendors for manufacturing of mechanical components and systems

    • Work with technicians to communicate requirements and ensure proper implementation

    Qualifications

    • BS/MS or equivalent work experience in Mechanical Engineering or related fields

    • 5+ years of relevant working experience designing modular mechanical hardware for test automation systems that range from R&D to high-volume manufacturing

    • Expert at using 3D CAD design software like Autodesk Inventor,, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ProE, etc

    • Ability to read electrical circuits and schematics, navigating PCB layouts and understand manufacturer"s product data sheets

    • Experience working in the automotive, semiconductor, or aerospace industries

    • Experience with electronics testing/probing/harnessing technologies like mass interconnect solutions (VPC), specialty probes (Ingun), etc

    • Experience supporting deployment automated test equipment in manufacturing environments

    • Hands-on hardware integration experience with automated test equipment

    Nice To Have

    • Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, CANFD, DoIP, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, etc.)

    • Experience with automation instrumentation such as programmable power supplies, multiplexers, DMMs, signal analyzers, signal generators, multifunction devices (digital and analog)`
