Job Description:
Lead the electrical and functional "bring-up" of prototype Mule vehicles by integrating new hardware, software, and surrogate components to ensure breadboard, yellow board and vehicle functionality for validation testing.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
· Systems Integration
o Integrate new hardware and software components (EDS/Wiring, Modules, MUX signals, and Translator Boxes) into prototype vehicles to enable full system functionality.
o Perform end-to-end system bring-up activities including power-up sequencing, signal validation, and functional verification.
· Electrical & Schematic Expertise
o Develop, obtain, and markup electrical schematics and wire harness drawings to support integration of hardware onto TPV-Mule vehicles.
o Interpret complex electrical schematics and harness diagrams to support system integration, issue resolution, and design validation.
o Analyze complete vehicle wiring architectures, including harness routing, signal paths, power distribution, grounding, and interface points.
· Technical Analysis & Validation
o Collect and review Device Transmittals (DTs) from design engineers to ensure component compatibility and integration readiness.
o Conduct system-level troubleshooting and root cause analysis for electrical and communication issues during prototype builds.
· Surrogate & Compatibility Management
o Select appropriate TPV-Mule surrogate components when production parts are unavailable.
o Perform gap analysis and compatibility reviews between surrogate/bridging parts and Production Intent (PI) schematics and designs.
