Job Description

Vehicle Systems Stability Engineer
The Vehicle Electrical Systems Integration team delivers a validated vehicle including firmware (FW) and hardware (HW) packages to our robot platform. The team is also the first stop for triaging, identifying, and investigating CAN, LIN, and electrical issues in the field and during vehicle bring-up.
As a Vehicle Systems Stability Engineer, you will be on the frontlines keeping our robots healthy. You will be responsible for the initial review of issues related to vehicle domains (ECUs, chassis, electric powertrain, HV charging, thermal system, brakes, steering, suspension, and lighting as examples). This issue identification is enabled by reviewing vehicle level CAN logs, investigating the issue, providing insight into the potential root cause, and then working with the responsible team to deliver a solution. You will also drive teams to identify actions that could prevent an issue from occurring again. This is a highly cross-functional role as you will be working with various HW and FW engineering teams, operations teams, and the vehicle and program management office.
We are looking for an engineer that is passionate about electric vehicle architecture, autonomous driving, has strong problem-solving skills, and has a commitment to deliver on time.

Responsibilities
Provide the initial issue triage and system analysis of field and bring-up issues for RnD fleet
Review the CAN log data, investigate to determine the probable responsible system(s) and if possible the root cause
Provide enough evidence to justify next steps in issue resolution
Drive for decisions on interim containment and permanent corrective actions, as appropriate
Document your work in the applicable JIRA tickets and methods in Confluence
Work with issue owner to identify how this issue is prevented from occurring again
Work with the module or component owner and suppliers, as needed to communicate your findings to drive root cause investigations
Report on issues identified, next steps, help needed and flag risks to program with appropriate mitigation plans. This includes supporting and reporting at working level and leadership level meetings
Identify potential improvements in system behavior and diagnostics
