What are the responsibilities and job description for the System Integration Engineer position at Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group?
Lead the electrical and functional "bring-up" of prototype Mule vehicles by integrating new hardware, software, and surrogate components to ensure breadboard, yellow board and vehicle functionality for validation testing.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
- Integrate new hardware and software components (EDS/Wiring, Modules, MUX signals, and Translator Boxes) into prototype vehicles to enable full system functionality.
- Perform end-to-end system bring-up activities including power-up sequencing, signal validation, and functional verification.
- Electrical & Schematic Expertise
- Develop, obtain, and markup electrical schematics and wire harness drawings to support integration of hardware onto TPV-Mule vehicles.
- Interpret complex electrical schematics and harness diagrams to support system integration, issue resolution, and design validation.
- Analyze complete vehicle wiring architectures, including harness routing, signal paths, power distribution, grounding, and interface points.
- Technical Analysis & Validation
- Collect and review Device Transmittals (DTs) from design engineers to ensure component compatibility and integration readiness.
- Conduct system-level troubleshooting and root cause analysis for electrical and communication issues during prototype builds.
- Surrogate & Compatibility Management
- Select appropriate TPV-Mule surrogate components when production parts are unavailable.
- Perform gap analysis and compatibility reviews between surrogate/bridging parts and Production Intent (PI) schematics and designs.
- Network Communication & Diagnostics
- Utilize CANalyzer (and/or CANoe) for system-level communication analysis, including CAN bus monitoring, message decoding, signal validation, and ECU interaction.
- Debug network-level issues across vehicle communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.
- Validate ECU communication and ensure proper integration within the overall vehicle network architecture.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 0-2 years (Junior), 2-5 Years (Intermediate) systems integration, electrical distribution systems (EDS), or prototype vehicle validation.
- Strong Electrical Engineering background with proven ability to read, interpret, and author electrical schematics.
- Comprehensive understanding of complete vehicle wiring systems, including signal flow, power distribution, and grounding strategies.
- Hands-on experience with CANalyzer for system-level communication analysis and debugging.
- Knowledge of automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple priorities.
- Available to work overtime on Weekends for first 3 months.
