• Integrate, configure, and validate ECUs, sensors, actuators, and embedded systems at the vehicle level.


• Debug and validate vehicle communication networks, including CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and gateway routing.


• Develop and execute vehicle integration, design validation, and product validation test plans.


• Diagnose and resolve hardware-software interaction issues impacting vehicle functionality and performance.


• Analyze network traces, diagnostic logs, and system data to identify and resolve integration challenges.


• Document root cause findings, corrective actions, and lessons learned to improve product quality and development efficiency.


• Partner with subsystem teams including ADAS, Vehicle Engineering, Infotainment, Supplier Quality, and Connectivity to drive issue resolution.


• Support vehicle builds, bring-up activities, and validation testing throughout prototype and production phases.


• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior engineers and cross-functional teams.


• Support integration planning, technical strategy development, and prioritization activities with the Integration Lead.

• 8+ years of experience in vehicle integration, automotive electronics, embedded systems, or related engineering disciplines.


• Strong experience performing vehicle-level root cause analysis and troubleshooting of complex electrical and networked systems.


• Deep understanding of CAN (CAN 2.0, CAN FD) protocols and associated tools such as Vector CANalyzer, CANoe, PCAN, or equivalent.


• Strong understanding of Automotive Ethernet technologies (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1) and protocols including DoIP, SOME/IP, and AVB/TSN.


• Experience with electrical system debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, protocol analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.


• Ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot electrical schematics, wiring harnesses, and connector systems.


• Experience with vehicle network architecture development, communication routing, and topology design.


• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

• Experience supporting OEM or Tier 1 vehicle programs from prototype development through production launch.


• Familiarity with AUTOSAR architectures, UDS diagnostics, gateway configuration, and network management.


• Experience with ADAS, autonomous vehicle, EV/HEV, or zonal vehicle architectures.
