• Technical vehicle system troubleshooting which includes thoroughly tracing and correcting faults in vehicle mechatronic embedded control systems (i.e. issues/faults that preclude the expected operation and performance of vehicles and the subsequent resolution of those problems).
• Identify and rootcause problems in system features controller hardware software calibrations etc. that result in system operation that does not meet the design intent nor customer requirements (including development activities buyoff rides test trips general fleet usage durability VeSCoM Checkout etc.
• Help support technical specialists to resolve challenging system interaction issues working to create a robust method to predict and prevent integration issues developing robust system issue resolving techniques and technology.
• Collaborate/partner with technicians and other issue finders to specify and obtain data that is best suited to resolve outstanding technical problems and issues encountered during program development and production.
• Provide controller integration issue status to appropriate system issue owners
• Support test environment engineers for troubleshooting and commissioning HIL/SIL/SOLE systems for executing tests and developing operating scenarios to emulate vehicle functions.

In addition you may...

• Analyze inhouse software by applying debugging tools in troubleshooting issues in the ECU memory management infrastructure operation and applications code.
• Work directly with outsourced and inhouse software suppliers algorithm developers technical specialists calibrators and others on crossfunctional agile teams.
• Support vehicle software updates if users need help flashing software or investigating and resolving implementation issues
• Participate in vehicle build events and buy off rides as required
