Job Title

System integration and test engineer

Location

Foster City, CA (Onsite)

Long Term Contract

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct system integration and validation testing at both the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test bench and vehicle level.
• Evaluate vehicle system performance under both nominal and off-nominal operating conditions.
• Investigate complex vehicle-level integration issues discovered during testing and fleet service operations.
• Perform detailed data analysis to identify system behavior, failures, integration risks, and potential areas of concern.
• Partner with cross-functional engineering stakeholders to understand technical issues and mitigate potential impact to program milestones.
• Troubleshoot issues spanning vehicle electrical systems, electronic control systems, communications networks, hardware, and embedded systems.
• Work with automotive communication protocols including CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.
• Use automotive instrumentation and data acquisition tools such as Vector CANalyzer, ETAS INCA, Intrepid, and CSM.
• Perform hands-on electrical troubleshooting using tools including digital multimeters (DMMs), oscilloscopes, electrical schematics, and Saleae Logic Analyzers.
• Analyze vehicle signals, network communication, electrical behavior, and system performance to help determine root causes of integration problems.
• Identify opportunities to improve system behavior, controls, and diagnostic monitors.
• Drive technical issue resolution for complex problems identified through vehicle testing and service operations.
• Clearly communicate testing results, identified risks, technical findings, and issue status to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation and track testing progress and open issues using JIRA and Confluence.
• Support end-to-end vehicle platform integration with a focus on achieving robust and reliable vehicle system performance.
