Hardware Test Engineer
Description
- As a Hardware Test Engineer, you will be responsible for validating the performance of our autonomous rail vehicles and subsystems
- You will work closely with other engineers (including electrical, mechanical, and software) to derive test requirements and develop the corresponding test infrastructure and processes
- You are passionate about autonomous vehicle development and will bring that enthusiasm to solving challenging problems in pursuit of a reliable and scalable testing ecosystem
- As an early employee at a fast-moving startup, you will work on a multitude of technical projects and help shape the direction of the company
- Design and maintain test solutions for in-house developed electronics components and systems
- Build and maintain test benches used for development and software regression testing
- Define and develop test cases using Python
- Produce documentation for testing including test plans, work instructions, design drawings, and test reports
- Support testing and data analysis to identify and root-cause issues
- Test vehicles at Parallel test facilities and customer sites
- Mentor other engineers and contribute to the team’s technical growth
- After 30 Days: You’re familiar with vehicle and subsystems, including functional requirements and testing. You’ve produced design drawings for a test bench and procured parts
- After 60 Days: You’ve integrated a test bench and demonstrated functionality and ability to meet test needs
- After 90 days: You’ve automated test bench operations and integrated into software regression testing. You’re supporting ongoing testing and driving an outcome tied directly to a business objective as a trusted partner
- Experience using common test equipment such as power supplies, DAQs, DMMs, and oscilloscopes
- Proficient in interpreting electronics schematics and wiring diagrams
- 3+ years of experience with hardware development or electronics test engineering
