Job Summary

Job Title: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer- Electronic Test Automation

This role is 100% onsite at the location on the req

Schedule: 8-5/ 9-6 (with flex depending on business needs; 1 hour non-billable lunch; typically 40 hours per week with some potential OT depending on business needs)

Top Skills/Responsibilities:

Experience with electronics testing/probing/harnessing technologies like mass interconnect solutions (VPC) specialty probes (Ingun) etc
5 years of relevant working experience designing modular mechanical hardware for test automation systems that range from R&D to high-volume manufacturing
Expert at using 3D CAD design software like Autodesk Inventor SolidWorks (most preferred) AutoCAD ProE etc

This role will design mechanical test systems for vehicle electronics. Youll work on developing mechanical solutions for design characterization validation and manufacturing.

Responsibilities
Design modular and reusable mechanical fixtures for testing vehicle electronics. This will start with manual bench-top setups and will evolve to fully automated systems for volume production
Work with cross-functional engineering groups to define mechanical test requirements for electronics and drive design decisions that help with the testability of ECUs.
Design custom mechanical interfaces to connect to ECUs. This can range from pogo-pin connections to bed-of-nails style probing
Design rack-based test systems that reduce complexity and improve build time when replicating at scale
Create well documented diagrams bills of materials and standard operating procedures for test automation systems
Develop and release drawings BOM and specifications.
Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors during purchasing station build integration and final commissioning
provide technical oversight to vendors for manufacturing of mechanical components and systems
Work with technicians to communicate requirements and ensure proper implementation

Qualifications

- BS/MS or equivalent work experience in Mechanical Engineering or related fields

- 5 years of relevant working experience designing modular mechanical hardware for test automation systems that range from R&D to high-volume manufacturing
