Sr. Electrical Engineer, Validation Platforms

Electrical EngineerThis role works within a multi-disciplinary validation infrastructure team delivering electrical engineering designs of various test infrastructure form factors ranging between PBCA and large scale custom hardware-in-the-loop platforms. This engineer will support vehicle engineering and firmware organizations and should be capable of translating high level validation requirements into hardware solutions to satisfy these requirements. It is the expectation of this role that the engineer has sufficient knowledge to independently develop solutions, advise technicians or suppliers through the build, and assist in bring-up and troubleshooting efforts.ResponsibilitiesDesign and produce electrical schematics for hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure used in component level testing of vehicle controllersDesign, layout, and route custom PCBA for mixed signal, high channel count microcontroller level validationProvide the design and engineering support layer between our end users executing testing, and our internal technician team that will fabricate your designs for themAssist in PCBA and HIL infrastructure bring-up, debug, and deploy processesCoordinate with integration and component test engineers to develop high level requirements for new future validation technologiesWork collaboratively with cross-organizational teams to improve overall reliability test infrastructureRequirementsDegree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experienceProficiency with PCBA schematics and datasheets, placing for low parasitic capacitance, inductance, and PCB layout techniques for power electronic circuits and mixed small signal circuitsProficiency in the design of printed circuit boards using fine pitch and ball grid array integrated circuits and large through hole partsExperience with PCB fabrication, design for manufacturing techniques for high volume designsFamiliarity with taking PCB layout through to completion of board files, generation of BOMs, and upload to PLM.
