What to Expect
The Low Voltage Hardware Validation Test team is looking to bring on a Body Controllers Engineering Technician to support Semi test development, execution, documentation, and root cause analysis. A Body Controller Engineering Technician will support all aspects of testing from electrical debugging, mechanical fixture design/building, software validation/script modification.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate with Engineers to validate body controllers for the Semi program through mechanical, electrical, and software/firmware testing
Design, build, and dismantle static fixtures made of T-Slotted aluminum and sometime solid Aluminum or magnesium

Modify and debug Software scripts for controller validation
Design, build, debug, rework, and dismantle complex electrical sever rack testers

What You’ll Bring
Soldering experience related to reworking PCBA board
Custom harness building experience related to building signal and power cables sizes from 22 gauge to 0 gauge

Ability to manage multiple test priorities and communicate proactively

Performing environmental stress screening (ESS) to identify potential failure modes

Conducting highly accelerated life testing (HALT) and highly accelerated stress screening (HASS) to determine product robustness

Operating and maintaining environmental chambers for thermal, humidity, and vibration testing

Analyzing test data and identifying trends to predict potential failures

Collaborating with engineers to implement design improvements based on reliability test results

(Preferred, not required) Experience building things using SolidWorks, Catia, Altium, Autodesk Inventor. Experience programming in/on/with Linux, PyCharm, Command line, Arduino, DAQs, and power supplies. Experience fabricating things with CNC mills/Lathes, 3D printers, Laser cutter, chop saws, drill presses, electronic/mechanical crimpers. Experience gathering electrical, mechanical, temperature, data with strain gauges, TC, DAQs, DMM, oscilloscope, torque wrench, Micro ohm meter, HI pot, and Pressure Decay leak tester. Has experience running reliability and validation testing with environmental chambers for PCBAs
