Identify risks and failure modes of novel products and product designs by applying first principles thinking and scientific methodologies. Based on this analysis, design and build electrical test setups and develop adequate test methodologies
Own and drive hardware validation efforts of the electrical, LV, and motor control systems of the Bot. Your job is to become a product expert, figure out how it could fail and collaborate with design partners to drive changes
Design and build custom test equipment such as test PCBAs, harnesses and fixtures to make validation efficient, modular and repeatable
Drive reliable collection of high-quality test data, analyze, and interpret test results, present findings, and guide failure analysis
What You’ll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
2+ years of experience in electrical test, low voltage system design, or development in robotic, automotive, aerospace, or related industries
In-depth understanding of LV electronic components and motor controllers and expertise in developing associated characterization/validation testing methods
Knowledge of different sensors, what they do, and how to interact with them
Experience with test automation and data analysis software (e.g., LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, etc.) and data acquisition methods
Embedded firmware / hardware experience and exposure or direct experience with PCB design tools
Eagerness to engage in hands-on activities, comprehending system interactions, and automating repetitive tasks
Proficiency in using standard lab equipment (power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, DMM's, etc.). Familiarity in DFR, DFM and EOL testing is a plus
Experience with microcontroller operation and interfaces, CAN, and Ethernet-based communications would be a plus
Strong problem-solving skills and thorough understanding of sophisticated electrical test setups
