Automotive Module Product Engineer

Job Title

Automotive Module Product Engineer

Role Summary

Work within the Automotive Product and Test Engineering group to support verification, validation, characterization, and production readiness of SoC-based automotive modules (IVI, ADAS, Telematics). The role focuses on new product introduction (NPI), test platform bring-up, failure analysis, and cross-functional engineering support.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early career — 0–3 years of relevant experience in system or bench-level testing, embedded systems, or silicon validation.

Responsibilities

Accountabilities include hardware and software test development, manufacturing readiness, and troubleshooting to drive products into production.

• Bring up and validate system-level test (SLT) hardware platforms and handler solutions.
• Develop, automate, and integrate software test modules and test sequences.
• Create and execute test strategies and test plans; optimize modules for stability and temperature variation.
• Troubleshoot issues, perform debug and failure analysis, and conduct systems correlation for power and thermal behavior.
• Evaluate and qualify hardware and manufacturing solutions to meet customer schedules and quality targets.
• Document technical work and communicate results to cross-functional teams and customers.
• Contribute to reliability assessments, automation, and test optimization for manufacturing yield and throughput.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for effective performance in this role.

• 0–3 years experience in system- or bench-level testing, preferably in mobile, automotive, IoT, or microprocessor domains.
• Understanding of computer architecture and operating systems (Android, Windows, Linux, or RTOS).
• Experience with embedded systems and SoC-level testing concepts; ability to develop/execute test cases for processors, graphics, memory, thermal, and power performance.
• Experience reading specifications, creating test plans, and using test sequencers.
• Familiarity with source control systems (Perforce or Git).
• Programming skills in one or more languages: C, C++, Python, C#, or .NET.
• Hands-on experience with lab measurement tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies).
• Ability to collect, analyze, interpret, and summarize test data and to work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Android debugging tools, JTAG, Lauterbach, or Trace32.
• Knowledge of Android system architecture and boot process.
• Familiarity with system-level benchmarks (e.g., Dhrystone, DOU) and prior academic projects or internships in silicon validation or hardware bring-up.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. Preferred: Master's degree in those fields.
