You will conceptualize, design, engineer, develop, and support the launch of next-generation vehicle platform architectures for electric vehicles.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for low voltage power electronics to both validate the system-level performance of electrical architecture, and stress the system to reveal any design weaknesses.

Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to establish robust testing strategies and align specific pass/fail criteria.

Review and analyze test data, engaging the appropriate engineering teams when anomalous results are observed.

Support systems integration efforts to bring up and debug various electrical test assets such as bucks, labcars, and prototype vehicles.

Build and grow the electrical test lab, ensuring accurate data from all relevant test cases can be captured, analyzed, and distributed accordingly.

Organize, maintain, and execute system level vehicle Design Validation Plans, prioritizing based on design novelty, complexity, and risk.

Provide technical guidance to cross-functional team members and share testing knowledge and best practices.

Support prototype development and adapt to rapid design concept iteration, collecting and distributing critical data points to hardware and software engineering teams.

Qualifications

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

Strong Electrical and Systems Engineering fundamentals.

5+ years of experience with electrical testing from concept through development.

Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DAQs, DMMs, function generators, power supplies, electronic loads, etc.).

Experience and working knowledge of systems development, vehicle architecture, software/hardware tool development, functional safety, network, and diagnostics process.

Even better, you may have...

Master’s Degree Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering or related fields.

Excellent teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and project management skills.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

An eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic environment where you are part of a high-performing team.

A systems approach to design and development with the desire and curiosity to strive for exceptional delivery execution and continuous improvement.
