Job Summary
Define interface contracts, integration risks, and system-level validation checks to support early integration of new subsystem designs. Design and build hardware-in-the-loop systems and physical test benches, including wiring harnesses, for development and integrated platform testing. Implement automated test sequences to stress-test behavior across batteries, drivetrain, thermal management, sensors, controls, and embedded systems. Lead system-level debugging when issues cross subsystem boundaries or cannot be isolated by a single team. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify integration gaps impacting vehicle safety, performance, and functionality. Document integration procedures, test results, and known issues for downstream validation and manufacturing teams.
