About The Position

The Team: The Low Voltage Infrastructure Team within the Embedded Platform Systems & Infrastructure organization is focused on the development of systems and controls centered around on-vehicle low voltage power generation, energy storage, power management, distribution , and consumption control . There is no better time to join this newly formed team as we evolve to the next generation of low voltage power architectures and consumption control strategies in SDV2.0 !
The Role: As a Senior Systems Test Engineer for Low Voltage System Integration , you will be planning, developing, executing, and analyzing system level tests that ensure our designs satisfy our customer’s expectations on system performance, reliability, and quality. Specific tasks include leading development of test plans, choosing evaluation methods, executing tests, collaborating with virtual tool owners, analyzing results, leading root cause activities, and collaborating on solution development. This role will operate like a CIE (Component Integration Engineer) for the Low Voltage System. Our upcoming work brings new, difficult challenges when it comes to effectively testing systems requirements use cases and complex functions within new low voltage architectures. This is an assignment where creativity, initiative, analytical skills, a deep understanding of our customers’ experience, and cross-functional team work is crucial and celebrated!
