About The Position

Slate is seeking a hands-on Process Engineer, Vehicle Diagnostics & EOL Calibration to support vehicle commissioning, diagnostics, calibration, and manufacturing execution in a plant environment. The role ensures vehicles successfully complete End of Line (EOL) validation, calibration, and release processes, while supporting production readiness, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

The engineer will execute and support EOL manufacturing and commissioning processes across brake, steering, ADAS, and body control systems. Work includes fluid fill operations, wheel alignment, steering and brake calibration, camera alignment, ECU flashing, vehicle provisioning, and plant validation using CAN, CAN-FD, and UDS diagnostics. The position also supports troubleshooting of communication failures, gateway routing, flashing problems, network wake-up behavior, diagnostic timeouts, and sensor calibration issues.

The role collaborates with Manufacturing, Diagnostics, Software, Validation, and Supplier teams to investigate root causes, implement corrective actions, and improve EOL throughput and first-time pass rates. It supports launch activities, prototype and production builds, and validation of manufacturing tooling and automated EOL systems. The engineer also helps develop and maintain plant diagnostic procedures, troubleshooting documentation, and automated validation or calibration tools using Vector toolchains and scripting environments where applicable.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis. Visa sponsorship is not available at this time.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in automotive manufacturing, vehicle diagnostics, EOL commissioning, calibration, vehicle integration, or plant support engineering.
• Hands-on experience with CAN/CAN-FD communication systems and UDS diagnostics, including troubleshooting ECU communication and network-related issues in vehicle manufacturing environments.
• Experience using Vector tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, and vFlash, along with OEM or supplier diagnostic and calibration tools.
• Experience supporting vehicle calibration and commissioning processes, including wheel alignment, steering angle calibration, brake bleed/calibration, camera or ADAS alignment, sensor initialization, ECU flashing, and vehicle configuration/provisioning.
• Strong understanding of automotive communication architectures, gateways, diagnostic workflows, and manufacturing validation processes.
• Ability to interpret CAN databases, diagnostic specifications, wiring schematics, and network topology documentation.
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills.
• Ability to work effectively in fast-paced plant and launch environments and collaborate across engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis; visa sponsorship is unavailable.
