- Work closely with new product development engineers and test software engineers to understand requirements, develop robust, reliable, and reproducible stereo camera/sensor test and calibration equipment.
- Lead and own individual test systems by either designing new test systems from scratch, or by leading a team of electrical and software engineers to make improvements.
- Documentation to include generating equipment specifications, validation protocols, assembly instructions, and calibration proceses.
- Analyze, debug and root cause measurement accuracy, reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility of test systems.
- Provide design engineers with Design for Manufacturability and Design for Reliability input to ensure consistency/commonality among hardware and standard part selections across product/sub-assembly lines.
Qualifications
Skills, Experience, Education, & Training:
- Minimum BS in relevant field required, MS preferred.
- Minimum 5 years mechanical or relevant equipment design engineering experience for a medium to high volume product.
- CAD experience (Solidworks) required.
