We are inventors, builders, and doers, passionate and purposeful in the work we do. We have a once-in-a-century opportunity to reinvent personal transportation—and we need your help. As a Platform Stability Engineer, you will be on the frontlines keeping our robots healthy. You will be responsible for the initial review of issues related to vehicle domains (ECUs, chassis, electric powertrain, HV charging, thermal system, brakes, steering, suspension, and lighting as examples). This issue identification is enabled by reviewing vehicle-level CAN logs, investigating the issue, providing insight into the potential root cause, and then working with the responsible team to deliver a solution. You will also drive teams to identify actions that could prevent an issue from occurring again.
Together with the Vehicle Electrical Systems Integration team, you will work to ensure the successful delivery of a validated vehicle including firmware (FW) and hardware (HW) packages to our robot platform. If you're excited to be the first stop for triaging, identifying, and investigating CAN, LIN, and electrical issues in the field and during vehicle bring-ups, excel in a highly cross-functional role with the ability to deliver on time, and are passionate about electric vehicle architecture and autonomous driving, we would like to hear from you!

In this role, you will:

  • Provide the initial issue triage for field issues
  • Review the log data, and investigate to determine the probable root cause
  • Work with the issue owner to close out the issue
  • Drive for decisions on interim containment and permanent corrective actions, as appropriate
  • Work with issue owners to identify how this issue is prevented from occurring again
  • Work with the issue owner and suppliers, as needed to communicate your findings.
  • Report on identified issues, next steps, and help needed, and flag risks to the program with appropriate mitigation plans. This includes supporting and reporting at the working level and leadership level meetings

Qualifications

  • BS or equivalent in an engineering discipline, EE or Mechatronics preferred
  • 8+ years of experience in automotive engineering
  • Experience designing or testing vehicle systems (electrical and/or mechanical) and hands-on electrical troubleshooting
  • Experience with electrical and vehicle network architecture (CAN and LIN)
  • Experience with CAN, LIN, and A/D measurement system setup (Vector, Memorator, Inca, Intrepid, dSpace, IPEtronic, CSM, Deweysoft, etc.)

Bonus Qualifications

  • Python programming and building automation tools
  • Grafana and other data analysis toolsets
  • Diagnostics development
