Job Description

About the Role

Join a cutting-edge team driving the reliability and manufacturing testing of Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies electrical hardware systems. These include advanced Level 3+ ADAS, telematics, infotainment, battery management, and zonal Electronic Control Units (ECUs).

You’ll contribute to the design, validation, and deployment of custom automated test solutions that combine software, low-level firmware, data management platforms, and electromechanical hardware. These systems are implemented internally, at external test labs, and across contract manufacturing facilities.

This is a hands-on, technical role where you’ll collaborate closely with engineering leads to:

• Conduct reliability and manufacturing testing

• Analyze and report test data

• Build and validate first-article hardware

• Redline schematics and troubleshoot complex issues

Key Responsibilities

• Operate software interfaces to run and monitor test equipment during hardware bring-up.

• Validate hardware and system functionality using standard lab tools such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, power supplies, and digital multimeters.

• Calibrate and set up thermal and vibration chambers for system reliability testing.

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and document device-under-test (DUT), test equipment, and harness failures.

• Perform circuit board rework, including component soldering/de-soldering and electronic modifications.

• Support commissioning and deployment of new automated test systems.

Qualifications

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent technical experience.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building or maintaining Automated Test Equipment (ATE) or industrial automation systems.

• Strong ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, technical drawings, and component datasheets.

• Skilled in soldering, rework, and electrical test bench practices.

• Proficient with lab tools (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, DMMs, etc.) and power tools.

• Familiarity with Microsoft and Google productivity applications (Excel, Docs, Slides).

• Able to lift and handle test fixtures, instrumentation, and hardware setups as needed.

• Proactive, hands-on problem solver with a passion for technical excellence and reliability.
