Collaborate with hardware and software engineers on PCB, wiring harness, electromechanical integration, and embedded software.
Develop test plans, procedures, and reports for both bench-level and system-level testing.
Lead root-cause analysis, ensure design traceability, and verify compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Support manufacturability, cost, and reliability objectives in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
Ensure designs comply with relevant safety, environmental, and regulatory standards (e.g., UL, CE, ISO).
Document technical decisions and provide mentorship to junior engineers.
Work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changes in project requirements or timelines.
