Engineer - V&V

Overview

Engineer in the Vehicle Controls Product Line engineering team, supporting verification and validation of rugged operator-control products for on-road and off-road vehicles and commercial mobile equipment.

What you'll do

• Review customer, system, hardware, software, mechanical, safety, environmental, reliability, and regulatory requirements and convert them into clear, measurable verification criteria.
• Develop and maintain requirements traceability, Design Verification Plans and Reports, test plans, test cases, procedures, acceptance criteria, schedules, and compliance evidence for Vehicle Controls products.
• Verify and validate rocker, toggle, push-button, key-lock, and rotary switches; indicators; multiplexed keypads and electronic switch modules; operator-control and human-machine interface products; and vehicle input/output modules.
• Plan and execute functional, electrical, electronic, mechanical, environmental, electromagnetic compatibility, ingress-protection, vibration, shock, thermal, durability, operating-force and travel, tactile-response, communication, and fault-insertion testing, as applicable.
• Design, assemble, commission, and troubleshoot test fixtures, wiring harnesses, loads, instrumentation, data-acquisition systems, and automated or semi-automated test setups.
• Select suitable internal and external laboratories, coordinate test readiness and sample availability, witness testing when required, and drive accurate, on-time completion of planned activities.
• Analyze test data, determine pass/fail status, document observations and conclusions, and communicate coverage, progress, risks, and results to project stakeholders.
• Investigate failures using structured problem-solving methods; reproduce issues, isolate root causes, support corrective actions, and verify their effectiveness.
• Participate in design reviews, requirements reviews, design failure mode and effects analysis, test-readiness reviews, and product-release reviews; provide testability, robustness, and risk-reduction recommendations.
• Support electronics hardware design activities, including schematic and bill-of-material reviews, component selection and derating, circuit calculations and simulation, printed circuit board layout reviews, prototype bring-up, bench debugging, and design documentation.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 0–2 years of relevant experience with a master's degree, or 2–4 years with a bachelor's degree, in product verification and validation, electronics testing, or electronics hardware design.
• Experience or academic exposure relevant to rugged Vehicle Controls products such as switches, indicators, multiplexed keypads, electronic switch modules, human-machine interfaces, and vehicle input/output modules.
• Working knowledge of verification and validation planning, requirements traceability, test-case development, acceptance criteria, test execution, defect reporting, and technical report preparation.
• Understanding of analog and digital electronics, microcontroller-based circuits, power supplies, communication interfaces, sensors, actuators, protection circuits, and electronic components.
• Ability to read and review electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, printed circuit board layouts, bills of material, component data sheets, mechanical drawings, and interface-control documents.
• Hands-on familiarity with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, signal generators, data-acquisition systems, environmental chambers, and automated test tools.
• Ability to develop and troubleshoot test fixtures, wiring harnesses, loads, instrumentation, and basic automation using tools such as LabVIEW, Python, or equivalent platforms.
• Knowledge of functional, electrical, environmental, vibration, shock, thermal, ingress-protection, durability, electromagnetic compatibility, communication, and fault-insertion testing, as applicable.
• Familiarity with circuit calculations, component selection and derating, simulation, schematic review, printed circuit board design review, prototype bring-up, and bench debugging.
• Working knowledge of design failure mode and effects analysis, root-cause analysis, structured problem solving, corrective-action verification, configuration management, and engineering change control.
• Sound analytical skills and the ability to document assumptions, data, test evidence, risks, and technical conclusions.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including concise test reports, technical presentations, and timely status updates.
• Collaboration across electronics, systems, software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, laboratory, supplier, customer, and global engineering teams.
• Learning agility and willingness to seek guidance while building technical depth.
• Ownership of assigned deliverables, attention to detail, disciplined follow-through, and effective time management.
• Data-based problem solving, sound judgment, curiosity, and timely escalation of risks.
• Customer focus, integrity, inclusion, and a strong commitment to safety and quality.

Nice to have

• A master's degree.
• Automotive, off-highway, or vehicle-control product experience.
• Awareness of automotive product-development and quality practices; familiarity with Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262, electromagnetic compatibility standards, and applicable customer or industry standards.
