Who we are looking for :

We are looking for a skilled Manufacturing Quality Engineer with expertise in software and electrical engineering to ensure delivery of high-quality software and embedded systems. The ideal candidate excels in software testing, continuous improvement, and cross-functional teamwork. This role requires strong knowledge of embedded systems, CAN-FD, and LIN protocols to support software quality assurance in electric truck production. You will manage quality assurance, work with global teams, and ensure high standards are met. This fast-paced role requires embedded systems expertise, manufacturing execution, and continuous improvement, focusing on software flashing, End-of-Line (EoL) testing, defect triage, and maintaining traceability of changes in calibration, software versions, and hardware parts.

What you get to do :

End-of-Line (EoL) Testing & Software Flashing

• Support implementation of procedures for end-of-line (EoL) testing of ECUs and embedded devices across the EV truck platform.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineering and test development teams to ensure all software flashes and calibrations are successfully programmed and verified during EoL operations.
• Track and verify software flash events in process, confirm build status (firmware, calibration level), and ensure recordkeeping aligns with current part specifications and configuration baselines.
• Analyze and troubleshoot EoL test failures to determine root cause (software vs. hardware) and coordinate immediate containment and corrective actions.
• Support the planning and evaluation of product test drives within quality and approvals of functions and systems.
