Salary: $55 - 58 per hour
Reference: JOB-34513
The Chassis Software Validation Engineer will execute component and subsystem software testing for the vehicle Chassis, electrical and software architectures. The candidate will work closely with the Software Team, Electrical Team, and Chassis Team to validate the chassis systems software on Slate’s different test properties. The validation engineer will generate test cases and analyze results to ensure program requirements are met.

What you get to do:

• Develop software validation test cases for the Chassis system (ESC, iBooster, EPS) and LV components.
• Work closely with Software, Electrical, and Chassis teams on the integration of multiple control units on the test properties.
• Collaborate with Software, Electrical, and Chassis teams to develop DFMEAs, DVP&Rs, and test properties validation plans
• Write detailed test specifications and test scripts based on system and component requirements. Generate a testing plan that achieves targets at various milestones
• Analyze and visualize large data sets from various data sources to understand the use cases and validation criteria
• Post-processing and analysis of experimental data to validate and inform models
• Technical communication of analysis results and tradeoffs
• Root cause analysis, corrective action implementation, and escalation of risks to keep software development process on track
• Identify opportunities for automation. Develop and implement processes to improve efficiency
• Participate in Agile Software development processes

What you bring to the team:

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical, Computer Software, or Mechanical Engineering or equivalent from an ABET accredited or equivalent program is preferred.
• Minimum three (3) years experience in using systems modeling platforms for test development, test automation, test requirements development, execution and reporting
• Minimum two (2) years experience working with low voltage and high voltage systems
• Excellent communication, team building, and relationship building skills.
• Specific experience includes:

o Open and closed-loop control systems for sensors, actuators, vehicle controllers, etc.
o Low voltage components such as circuit breakers, relays, wiring, etc.
o Chassis system components such as Electronic Stability Control module (integral to valve body), iBooster, and Electric Power steering rack system
o Electric vehicle system requirements, testing, and validation
o CAN-Bus, LIN, and Ethernet communication protocol
o CAN tools such as CANalyzer, P-CAN, Kvaser, CANoe, CANApe, etc.
o MATLAB, Simulink, and State flowcharts
o Knowledge in scripting languages (such as Python)
o Knowledge with a requirements management tool, such as Polarion or DOORS
o 8D, five whys, and other structured problem solving tools to diagnose complex issues
o Industry standards such as FMVSSS, NHTSA, SAE, etc.
