Job Description

We are a global engineering services and contracting firm supporting a leading Automotive / Electric Vehicle manufacturer . We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer – Test Automation to design and build mechanical test systems for vehicle electronics , supporting everything from early R&D through high-volume manufacturing.

This is a hands-on, high-impact contract role working at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics testing, and manufacturing automation .

🔧 What You’ll Do

• Design modular, reusable mechanical fixtures for testing vehicle electronics (ECUs), from manual bench-top setups to fully automated production systems
• Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to define mechanical test requirements and improve ECU testability
• Design custom mechanical interfaces including pogo-pin connections, bed-of-nails probing, and mass interconnect solutions
• Develop rack-based test systems that scale efficiently for manufacturing environments
• Create and release detailed drawings, BOMs, specifications, and SOPs
• Provide technical oversight to vendors for fabrication and system builds
• Support station build, integration, commissioning , and deployment
• Work closely with technicians to ensure correct implementation and performance

✅ Required Qualifications

• BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years designing modular mechanical hardware for test automation systems (R&D → high-volume manufacturing)
• Expert-level experience with 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks strongly preferred , Inventor, AutoCAD, ProE)
• Strong ability to read electrical schematics , navigate PCB layouts, and interpret component datasheets
• Hands-on experience with automated test equipment (ATE) and hardware integration
• Background in automotive, EV, semiconductor, or aerospace environments
• Experience with electronics testing / probing / harnessing , including:
• Mass interconnect systems (e.g., VPC)
• Specialty probes (e.g., Ingun)

🌟 Nice to Have

• Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, DoIP, Automotive Ethernet)
• Experience with test instrumentation :
• Programmable power supplies
• DMMs, multiplexers
• Signal generators and analyzers
• Multifunction DAQ devices (analog & digital)

💼 Why This Opportunity

• Work with a top-tier Automotive / EV OEM
• Highly technical, hands-on engineering role
• Exposure to cutting-edge vehicle electronics and automation
• Contract role with strong potential for long-term engagement
