Job Summary

JOB SUMMARY
The primary responsibilities include designing and installing electrical subsystems on small robots and other ground-based vehicles and coordinating design and installations under the direction of senior electrical and/or mechanical engineers. Design includes electrical topology of Drive By Wire systems (what parts where and how to connect them) based on similar systems. This includes harness design and pin mapping (similar to reverse engineering) as well as building and testing wiring harnesses troubleshooting repairing and modifying electrical wiring where necessary and applying principles and theories of electronics electrical circuitry and electronic and electrical testing. Examples of troubleshooting include analyzing serial bus (i.e. CAN) electrical signals and data.

May be required to do some: Electronic modules programming lay out build test troubleshoot repair and modify developmental electronic components parts equipment and systems such as computer equipment test equipment and machine tool numerical controls applying principles and theories of electronics electrical circuitry engineering mathematics electronic and electrical testing and physics. Usually work under direction of more senior engineering staff with little to no supervision. Gaining or has attained full proficiency in a specific area of discipline.

Key Responsibilities:
