• programs with input from reliability, design, and firmware teams
• Lead the execution of characterization testing plans according to project milestones
• Own test coverage reports and analysis
• Perform bench-level characterization at IC and PCBA levels
• Provide early feedback to design engineers regarding design decisions and testability
• Develop and present Design for Testability (DFT) reports for ECU designs
• Own characterization schedules to communicate status with upper management and cross functional teams
• Write basic automation scripts and instrumentation drivers to speed up characterization testing using Python
• Work with software engineers to flash, test, and troubleshoot firmware
• Lead the cross-functional effort to root cause non-compliance test results during testing by leveraging data analysis

Your Skills and Experience:

• BS/MS or equivalent work experience in Electrical Engineering or related field
