Today our systems engineer writes the requirements and verification plans; nobody yet owns turning those into instrumented campaigns, reliability programs, regulatory evidence and acceptance tests, and then carrying that process to a contract manufacturer. That is this job. You will be the first dedicated test owner on the team, you will set up how we test, and you will grow the function as the product line grows.

What you'll do

  • Turn vehicle requirements and V&V plans into test strategy, procedures and instrumented campaigns across EVT, DVT and PVT: drive and steer performance, brake and grade, duty cycle and thermal, environmental, ingress, vibration and HALT.
  • Stand up the reliability program for a new vehicle: duty-cycle profiles, accelerated-life and HALT planning, failure tracking and corrective action, and the evidence that lets a program lock a design.
  • Instrument prototype vehicles — CAN and sensor logging, data acquisition,...
