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