The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of experience working in testing/engineering and has worked with HIL systems like dSPACE, CANoe, and LabVIEW (or similar).

• Be trained to operate our dynamometer (dyno) to simulate driving conditions and trigger electrical fault injection on our HIL electrical test assets.
• Execute electrical test cases (following test plan) on various systems (lighting, thermal, charging, powertrain, perception, safety, etc.) on both static and dynamic test assets.
• Maintain, develop, and automate further functionality of existing HIL testing environments.
• Work cross‑functionally with various teams to understand firmware releases, fixes, and system compatibility.
• Work with test requesters to assure successful system and subsystem performance.

• Set up data‑logging hardware such as CANalyzer to capture and analyze CAN messages and logs to provide detailed information of test results.
• Flash firmware on vehicle components with changes and updates tracking.
• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues.

• 5+ years’ work experience in testing/engineering.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
• Hands‑on experience with electro‑mechanical integration and testing of systems and subsystems.
• Experience with HIL systems like dSPACE, CANoe, and LabVIEW (or similar).
• Experience in an R&D electronics environment or electrical testing lab.
• Experience with electronic lab equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, programmable power supplies, chillers, accelerometers, and torque sensors.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced work environment and efficiently coordinate demands from diverse development teams.

• Firmware and test script programming experience (C/C++, Python).
• Experience with Linux command‑line interface and Linux file topology.
• Familiarity with version control tools such as Git.
• Experience with translating HW/SW requirements to test cases.
• Experience with axle‑hub dynamo meters.
• Previous experience diagnosing CAN or Ethernet network issues.
• Experience with automotive high‑voltage systems (400
  
  VDC).

• Pre‑tax commuter benefits.
• Employer (Hire Art) Subsidized healthcare benefits (eligibility begins on the first of the month following 60 days of service).
• Flexible Spending Account for healthcare‑related costs.
