Key Responsibilities
##
We are looking for someone who enjoys the interface between engineering design and real hardware testing. The ideal candidate is rigorous enough to define proper test strategies and qualification evidence, but practical enough to build a test adapter, debug a signal on an oscilloscope, and improve a lab setup.
This person should be comfortable working in a fast-moving development environment where hardware is still evolving, tests need to be structured, and technical issues must be solved pragmatically. The role requires both engineering discipline and hands-on ownership.
- Define, structure, and maintain electronics test strategies for ECU, inverter electronics, and future control boards, from development testing to qualification and acceptance.
- Translate requirements into test cases, procedures, acceptance criteria, and verification evidence, ensuring clear requirements-to-test traceability.
- Prepare, organize, and execute electronics test campaigns, including board bring-up, functional testing, hardware/software integration, inverter testing, and power HIL.
- Design, build, and maintain hands-on test means such as test boards, breakout boards, harnesses, adapters, loads, and instrumentation setups.
- Analyze test results, write clear test reports, document deviations, and support qualification or delivery reviews.
- Support hardware debugging and anomaly investigations using schematics, measurements, logs, and lab instrumentation.
- Improve test bench robustness, repeatability, safety, configuration control, and automation.
- Work closely with electronics, power electronics, embedded software, control, mechanical/thermal, supplier, and test teams to ensure avionics hardware is testable, integrated, and deliverable.
