Test Engineer, EE Systems Integration Lab

Zoox•Foster City, CA

2d•$164,000 - $197,000

About The Position

As part of the EE Systems Integration team, we will collectively be responsible for assuring that electrical, electronic, and mechatronic systems are integrated and tested into systems and vehicles with a maximum of reliability and performance. As a Test Engineer you will be responsible for operating a dynamometer and executing a defined test plan on vehicle-representative electrical test assets. You will work with system owners, firmware developers, technicians and other test engineers to design and operate Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) test assets. In this role, you will: 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 sub-system performance Perform first level of troubleshooting when a test fails or doesn’t perform as expected Setup 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 trackingTroubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues

Requirements

5+ years’ work experience in testing and engineering
BS or MS degree in ME/EE 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, Labview (or similar)
Experience in 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

Nice To Haves

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 dynamometers
Previous experience diagnosing CAN or ethernet network issues
Experience with automotive high voltage systems (400VDC)
