What To Expect
The Low Voltage Power Firmware Team is responsible forโ€ฏpower distribution and LV battery management systems (BMS) on vehicle platforms. As an engineer on this team, you will be responsible for validating the quality and safety of the power management embedded firmware. This includes, but is not limited to, validating LV power redundancy and latent fault detection for by-wire and autonomous vehicles, vehicle fault and crash behaviors, power management for over-the-air updates (OTAs), and low / idle power modes and sleep features.

You will architect and implement firmware validation procedures, equipment, tooling, and automation to efficiently test vehicle components and subsystems.โ€ฏโ€ฏYou will work closely with development and integration engineers to design and validate the performance capabilities of our hardware and firmware to ensure code quality is high. Your effort to create and equip automated validation infrastructure and coverage reporting will have a direct impact on the safety, reliability, robustness, and value of our products. Your impact will help the worldโ€™s acceleration to energy sustainability.

What You'll Do

  • Development of discrete simulation software including the modeling of circuitry, hardware peripherals, and emulation of bare-metal drivers. (Python, Rust, C, Docker, Scons)
  • Design of automated component- HIL testers for validation of power domain fault detection and power availability on steer-by-wire and autonomous platforms (Python, Jenkins)
  • Collaborate with development and integration engineers to design robust, automated test strategies to meet safety and homologation requirements
  • Leverage a deep understanding of vehicle system behaviors to evaluate code and functional changes holistically, mitigate risk, and provide high-quality feedback throughout the product lifecycle
  • Drive innovation, quality and performance of vehicle software by pioneering novel validation infrastructure and tooling, and by enhancing simulation engine fidelity and user experience
  • Scale existing validation coverage and optimize build efficiency to leverage cluster computing resources
  • Explore methods to measure and metrics to evaluate the quality, coverage, and traceability of automated regression tests


  • What You'll Bring

  • Bachelorโ€™s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, experience with evidence of exceptional ability, or equivalent experience
  • Minimum ofโ€ฏ1 year ofโ€ฏrelevant experience (embedded design/validation)
  • Proficiency inโ€ฏPython and comprehension of C, experience with Rust and Verilog is preferred
  • Expertise testing devices and debugging hardware (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM)
  • Desire to participate in improving code robustness and designing testing infrastructure
  • Ability to think creatively and produce โ€œoutside of the boxโ€ solutions
  • Experience inโ€ฏelectronicโ€ฏand systemโ€ฏschematic design & capture (Altium Designer)โ€ฏpreferred
  • Experience designing or interfacing withโ€ฏHardware/Software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL)โ€ฏtestโ€ฏsetupsโ€ฏpreferred
  • Knowledge of source control (Git), continuous integration via Github, Docker, Jenkins preferred
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and hardware datasheets
