Validation engineer Jobs in Dearborn, MI

In this position...

The Battery Management Validation Engineer proves that high-voltage battery management hardware, software, and integrated systems do what they are required to do — from automated software regression on simulation and hardware-in-the-loop benches through energized pack and system-level testing.

Assignments may include software-focused validation on simulation and hardware-in-the-loop benches or system-focused validation on energized hardware and installed systems, and may shift across the product architecture over the life of the program.

The ideal candidate is disciplined about traceability and evidence, capable with instrumentation, and able to script and automate. Strength in either bench automation or energized high-voltage testing is required; strength in both is strongly preferred.

You'll have...

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• 4+ years validating embedded electronic control systems, battery systems, or high-voltage electrical equipment.
• Demonstrated test plan authorship traceable to requirements, with disciplined test documentation.
• Practical instrumentation skill: oscilloscopes, data acquisition, power supplies, electronic loads, and communication analyzers.
• Scripting capability in Python or equivalent for test automation or data analysis.
• Either hardware-in-the-loop and test automation experience, or high-voltage laboratory and energized test experience.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability and willingness to travel occasionally.

Even better, you may have...

• Master's degree in a related engineering discipline.
• High-voltage safety qualification, or readiness to certify immediately upon hire.
• Hardware-in-the-loop platform experience and cell or battery emulation.
• Battery cycler operation and long-duration test campaign management.
• Environmental, durability, and electromagnetic compatibility test experience.
• Familiarity with product safety, functional safety, and cybersecurity verification evidence requirements.
• Production and end-of-line test definition experience.
