Diagnostic and Testing Lead

The Role:

The role involves developing and implementing vehicle End-of-Line (EOL) test routines and processes to validate electrical systems during manufacturing. Responsibilities include managing EOL test equipment, improving First Time Through (FTT) rates, and collaborating with multidisciplinary engineers to create scalable validation procedures. The role also involves identifying and resolving issues during vehicle bring-up and EOL testing, developing engineering tools for software flashing and diagnostics, and providing on-site support to manufacturing partners for troubleshooting and sensor calibration.

Dimension of Function:

Develop vehicle EOL test routines using in-house/third-party authoring tools

Develop and implement processes to bring up and validate the vehicle's electrical systems during manufacturing processes.

Develop and implement systems to manage and maintain End-of-Line (EOL) test equipment

Lead initiatives to improve EOL FTT (First Time Through rate)

Work closely with multidisciplinary engineers to collect and interpret the component and vehicle level requirements and to translate them into a scalable system-level validation procedure to be performed during the vehicle testing process.

Identify the root causes of issues during vehicle bring-up, and EOL testing, and work with client software integration/manufacturing teams to develop robust resolutions.

Develop engineering tools to support activities such as software flashing, diagnostic services, and engineering data exchange. This may include working collaboratively with vendors to formulate and build applications and tool customizations to optimize and automate the software updating process.

Provide on-site support to manufacturing partners to manage vehicle bring-up including troubleshooting of vehicle systems, end-of-line testing, and sensor calibration.

Key contacts:

Launch Manager, Line Manager, Project / Program Manager, Heads of Departments, team members, Manufacturing partners and vendors, industry experts, external organisations, agencies and statutory bodies.

Area of Responsibility:

You will develop and implement a system to bring up and validate the vehicle electrical system during manufacturing processes. You will also develop and implement a system to manage End-of-Line (EOL) test equipment and perform diagnostics on the data collected by EOL systems. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigour and determination. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields, to possess the ability to learn quickly and to strive for perfection within a fast-paced environment.
