Job description

• Experience with automation instrumentation such as programmable power supplies, multiplexers, DMMs, signal analyzers, signal generators, multifunction devices (digital and analog)
• Ability to read electrical circuits and schematics, navigate PCB layouts, and understand manufacturer’s product data sheets
• Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, CAN-FD, DoIP, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, etc.)
• Experience with industrial buses and protocols (USB, VISA, GPIB, Ethernet, Serial, RS-485, SPI, I2C etc)

Experience With Hardware Debug Is Mandatory

In this role, you’ll be part of the team responsible for functional validation and testing of client’s electronic control units (ECUs) including telematics, infotainment, battery management, ADAS, and zonal Electronic Control Units (ECUs). Our team builds custom automated test solutions that include internal-facing software, low-level firmware, data management platforms, and custom electromechanical hardware. These solutions get deployed internally within R|V Tech and at external labs and contract manufacturing facilities.

Responsibilities:

• Work with the electronics design teams to define test requirements and agree on testing strategies.
• Develop custom test sequences in Python following software engineering best practices and our standard automation framework.
• Create well documented test cases and operating procedures for test systems.
• Work with validation, reliability, EMC, and product launch teams to ensure that the test solutions meet their requirements.

Qualifications:

• BS/MS or equivalent work experience in Electrical or Electronics Engineering.
• 5+ years of relevant working experience designing automated test equipment (ATE) for electronics.
• Ability to read electrical circuits and schematics, navigate PCB layouts, and understand manufacturer’s product data sheets.
• Experience working in the automotive, semiconductor, or aerospace industries.
• Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, CAN-FD, DoIP, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, etc.).
• Experience with industrial buses and protocols (USB, VISA, GPIB, Ethernet, Serial, RS-485, SPI, I2C etc).
• Experience supporting deployment of automated test equipment in manufacturing environments.
• Experience with automation instrumentation such as programmable power supplies, multiplexers, DMMs, signal analyzers, signal generators, multifunction devices (digital and analog).
• Solid experience programming in Python.

Nice To Have:

• Experience with databases and data management tools like SQL, Databricks, or Apache Superset.
