This engineer will study how these systems actually communicate and behave once installed - power sequencing, communication buses, command/response behavior, firmware and configuration state - and translate that understanding into purpose-built test fixtures, combining custom and off-the-shelf hardware, cabling, and software, that can validate a component as if it were already part of a live system. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you will set the technical direction, build the first fixtures yourself, and lead two Manufacturing Engineers in scaling the program., * System & Protocol Reverse Engineering - Analyze existing electronic assemblies (radars, LiDARs, cameras, controllers) to understand their power requirements, communication protocols, command/response structure, and firmware behavior when no complete documentation exists. * Test Fixture Architecture - Design end-to-end bench test fixtures - hardware, cabling/harnessing, and control software - that emulate the system-level environment a component would see once fully integrated, so it can be validated stand-alone with confidence. * Build vs. Buy Decisions - Determine which fixture elements to design and build in-house versus source commercially, balancing cost, schedule, and fidelity to the real operating environment. * Software & Automation Development - Develop or direct the development of the software layer that drives each fixture - automated test sequencing, data capture, and pass/fail (and on) determination. * Technical Leadership - Lead and mentor two Manufacturing Engineers, translating direction from the Director of Operations into a prioritized fixture build plan, and reviewing their fixture and procedure designs for technical soundness. * Process Ownership - Own the transition of component verification from ad-hoc, downstream testing (IRT/ATP/FAI) to structured, front-loaded bench verification, driving a substantial reduction in total test hours and touch time. * Data & Traceability - Ensure every test produces a clear pass/fail result plus supporting data (logs, measurements, configuration records) that is traceable to a specific serialized unit. * Program Scalability - Build the fixture library and documentation so that new component types and future programs can be onboarded quickly using reusable infrastructure., Components arrive on the build floor as known-good, configured, serialized units. Downstream integration testing shrinks dramatically because verification already happened on the bench, and the two-person Manufacturing Engineering team is executing a shared fixture roadmap under this engineer's technical direction. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [The Gashlycrumb Tinies of AI Networking You Must Know (or Languish!)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2067-the-gashlycrumb-tinies-of-ai-networking-you-must-know-or-languish) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Code to Road in < 12 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1082-code-to-road-in-12-hours) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing)
