Technician / Technologist - Chassis Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) TestingJob

This role focuses on building, assembling, and maintaining chassis component hardware test stands for a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing team. You will work hands-on with wiring, bracket and stand fabrication, Arduino-based hardware interfaces, and vehicle component assembly in non-vehicle setups to support robust and reliable chassis testing. Responsibilities

• Build and maintain chassis component hardware test stands for HiL testing, ensuring they operate reliably and safely.
• Assemble and fabricate brackets and test stands, including machining parts to meet specific design and test requirements.
• Prototype HiL hardware solutions for chassis components, including integrating vehicle hardware into non-vehicle test setups.
• Perform vehicle component assembly on test stands, ensuring correct fit, function, and alignment with test specifications.
• Design, build, and route wiring harnesses for chassis test stands, following best practices for safety, reliability, and serviceability.
• Read and interpret wiring schematics to build, troubleshoot, and modify electrical wiring and harness assemblies.
• Create or update wiring schematics as needed to document test stand wiring configurations and changes.
• Install and connect Arduino-based hardware interfaces within test stands to support control, monitoring, and automation.
• Inspect, test, and maintain existing test stands, identifying and resolving mechanical and electrical issues to minimize downtime.
• Collaborate with engineers and other team members to understand test requirements and translate them into practical hardware and wiring solutions.
• Organize and maintain tools, materials, and work areas associated with test stand fabrication, wiring, and assembly., Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): We may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, including sourcing, screening, and evaluating candidates. AI helps assess applications and qualifications, but final decisions are made by our hiring team. By applying, you acknowledge and agree that your application may be reviewed using AI tools.
