- Coordinate cross-functional teams and external vendors to deploy high quality test systems in a timely manner to support vehicle-builds
- Drive end-to-end test campaigns from development through design validation, certification, and production automation (often working all facets simultaneously)
- Triage and root-cause field failures, using data analysis, test heritage, correlation to operating conditions, and one-off test campaigns
- Develop automation software scripts and visualization tools to streamline design and production testing- Experience developing software that interfaces directly with hardware including navigating datasheets and validating hands-on with representative hardware
- Experience building automation systems for use in safety-critical and factory applications
- Experience solving complex multidisciplinary problems with little supervision on schedule as an individual or as a member of an integrated team
- Experience developing test plans, test requirements, and test criteria for hardware products
- Experience with object oriented programming
- Experience working with Git / CI and the software development and validation process
- Experience using and deep understanding of common test instrumentation and data acquisition hardware
