Sr. Specialist - L1 Network Testing
About The Position
We are seeking a Senior Automotive Network Integration Engineer to lead the design, architecture, and validation of in-vehicle communication networks across complex, software-defined vehicle platforms. You will own end-to-end network integration across ECUs, ensuring deterministic, secure, and scalable communication across all vehicle domains. This role is highly cross-functional, bridging EE architecture, embedded software, diagnostics, and vehicle systems engineering, with significant influence on platform-level design decisions. This person will define how all vehicle systems communicate robustly on the platform —directly shaping the reliability, scalability, and performance of the entire vehicle platform. Your decisions influence architecture direction across current and next-generation EV systems. Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 10+ yrs. of experience
- Strong understanding of vehicle E/E architecture and ECU-level software stacks, automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet), UDS diagnostics (ISO 14229) and diagnostic communication tools
- Expert knowledge of Jira, GitHub/GitLab, Jenkins, and Artifactory. ALM/PLM proficiency in Siemens Polarion, IBM DOORS Next Gen, or PTC Windchill.
- Strong understanding, development and verification of plant and control models in MATLAB/Simulink for execution in hardware in the loop test environment, dSpace control desk and automation desk
- Strong understanding of 1st principles in Engineering, result/solution oriented.
- Familiarity with SW for embedded systems, EE systems and architecture
- Familiarity with A2B, CAN, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, LVDS communication protocols and Vehicle Network tools, such as CANalyzer, CANoe, etc.‚
- Expertise with complex problem solving, data analysis, access/interpret/drive results with extended teams.
- Knowledge of Automotive design and development process, system requirements, and general engineering best practices
Responsibilities
- Define and lead validation strategy for vehicle communication networks: CAN / CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet (DoIP, SOME/IP)
- Establish test coverage models for signal integrity, timing determinism, fault tolerance and degradation behavior to ensure traceability from requirements → signals → test cases → results
- Own validation execution across multiple environments SIL, HIL (hardware-in-the-loop benches) and vehicle integration testing
- Design scalable regression test suites for ECU communication systems
- Ensure consistent behavior across simulated and real-world environments
- Validate multi-ECU communication across distributed vehicle systems across powertrain, BMS, ADAS, chassis, body systems
- Perform deep debugging of network issues such as CAN bus load saturation, message timing drift, signal corruption or loss, gateway routing failures etc.
- Analyze ECU interactions under stress, fault injection, and edge conditions
- Use diagnostic protocols (UDS – ISO 14229) to validate ECU behavior
- Analyze large-scale CAN/Ethernet logs for intermittent failures, cross-ECU timing mismatches, system-level integration issues
- Coordinate integration across Powertrain / Electrification (BMS, inverter, charging), Body & Comfort, ADAS / AD compute platforms, Infotainment & Connectivity, Central Compute / Zonal Controllers
- Validate that system behavior meets system requirement specifications (SRS) under nominal conditions, boundary conditions, fault injection scenarios, high bus load scenarios, low voltage and cold crank conditions
- Ensure feature-level integration synchronization, power mode management, Wake-up/sleep strategy robustness.
- Own vehicle-level regression test planning, drive root cause analysis of cross-domain issues and help support integration war-room activities during DV/PV builds.
Benefits
- Competitive insurance including: Medical, dental, vision and income protection plans
- 401(k) program with: An employer match and immediate vesting
- Generous Paid Time Off including: 20 days planned PTO, as accrued
- 40 hours of unplanned PTO and 14 company or floating holidays, annually
- Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for biological and adoptive parents of all genders
- Paid leave for circumstances related to bereavement, jury duty, voting time, or military leave
- Pay Transparency
- Annual performance bonus program
