CAN / CAN FD, LIN

 Familiarity with automotive standards and practices: o

ISO 26262

(functional safety awareness), o

AEC-Q100

(component qualification), o

CISPR12,25

 Experience using diagnostic tools (e.g., CAN analyzers, OEM tools )  Strong root cause analysis capability: o Structured problem solving (5-Why, Fishbone, fault isolation)  Ability to: o Recreate failures in lab environments, o Develop test setups and debug methodologies, o Capture and interpret waveforms under dynamic conditions  Experience with failure modes such as: o

ESD / EOS

damage, o Load dump events, o Ground offset / noise issues, o Connector fretting / intermittent  Experience with: o Embedded systems debugging (basic firmware awareness helpful), o Calibration and diagnostic tools (e.g., ETAS INCA, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer)  Ability to read logs and correlate software behavior with hardware issues Nice-to-Have / Preferred  Experience with high-volume production environments or warranty return analysis  Familiarity with: o Thermal interface materials and heat dissipation in power electronics, o Automated test systems  Prior experience working with suppliers and cross-functional teams  Switch Mode Power Supplies  Automotive Injector Circuitry  Complex micro (preference is TC3xx)  Knowledge of automotive power systems (12V / 48V architectur es)  Troubleshoot failed ECM units to root cause at system and component level  Develop and execute diagnostic test plans  Support production, validation, and field-return investigations  Document findings and recommend corrective actions  Interface with design engineering on failure mechanisms and fixes Roles & Responsibilities  Current product support for complex engine controllers.  Will support everything from technical problem solving to managing future model rolls.  Most of this will be technical in nature, but there will be some program management skills required as well.  Familiar with structured problem solving methodology (5 phase, 7 step, 8D, or similar) Generic Managerial Skills, If any  Strong documentation skills (clear failure reports, test procedures)  Ability to work independently in a lab environment  Effective communication with design, manufacturing, and quality teams  Detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership  Self Starter, someone who can lead a task and will proactively address road blocks
