Job description

• Electrical Systems Analyst Engineer who will be responsible for understanding the development, design, and system interaction of electrical and electronic systems within vehicles for automotive body, audio, active chassis and/or safety systems.
• Requires a deep understanding of automotive technology, specification analysis, system understanding, and strong analytical skills to ensure that systems meet the defined design expectations.
• Work with the Validation teams in ensuring the reliability and performance of automotive systems by analyzing test results, troubleshoot, reproducing the issues, and resolve issues related to component and system performance by identifying the root cause of all issues and leading the collaboration with cross-functional teams to implementing corrective actions.
• In depth understanding of CAN/LIN, the extensive use of CAN/LIN testing tools (CANOE simulation), traditional electrical testing equipment (voltage testing, etc.) in an electrical lab atmosphere to test, troubleshoot, and root cause vehicle systems on some or all test properties: Plywood Buck, Vehicle-Hardware-in-the-Loop (VHIL), subsystem Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and/or vehicles.
• Close collaboration with feature owners, engineering, extended teams, and suppliers to develop a strong understanding of the EE functions for early identification of defects and to provide evidence of defect elimination.
• Provide feedback on the test plans and procedures for continuous improvement.
• Must have a valid driver's license, willing and able to drive and test vehicles, able to obtain a chauffeur's license to drive heavy duty pick-up trucks.
• Must be able to travel domestically and internationally (Canada/Mexico) up to 10%.
• Execute test procedures in alignment with test EE Validation guidelines and strategy.
• Analyze test execution results to generate reports, document incidents, and drive them to resolution through detailed system analysis.
• Troubleshoot ECUs, System HIL and test environment functionality to minimize false positive incident reports.
• Implement continuous improvement strategies for test design and execution processes.
• Document test environment, automation, and vehicle configuration requirements.
• Experience with electrical debugging tools such as a digital multi-meter, oscilloscope, CAN diagnostic tools (CANoe/CANalyzer), current probes and other diagnostic equipment including voltage Testing, etc.
• Familiarity with Over The Air updates (FOTA, AOTA, MOTA, xOTA, etc.)
