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

Requirements

• 
  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
