Senior Automotive Reliability & EMC Test engineer

Mountain View, CAOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Senior automotive reliability and EMC test engineer responsible for DV/PV strategies for LiDAR systems, leading environmental, life, and EMC testing, failure analysis, and cross-functional validation with OEMs and labs.

About this role

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Automotive Reliability & Qualification (≈50%)
  • Own automotive reliability and qualification strategy for LiDAR systems and critical sub-assemblies.
  • Define and execute DV/PV test plans aligned with ISO 16750 (environmental & electrical loads), IEC 60068, OEM-specific durability requirements
  • Lead environmental and life testing including thermal cycling and thermal shock, vibration and mechanical shock, HTOL / HTOE, damp heat, humidity, corrosion, contamination exposure
  • Drive single-fault robustness validation in support of DFMEA and safety concepts.
  • Perform and lead failure analysis, working cross-functionally with EE, ME, optics, firmware, and systems teams.
  • Define pass/fail criteria, degradation limits, and design margins, not just “run the test.”
  • Ensure test coverage maps clearly to DFMEA failure modes and OEM expectations.
  • EMC & Electrical Validation (≈50%)
  • Own automotive EMC compliance and robustness testing, including CISPR 25 (emissions & immunity), ISO 11452 (ALSE, BCI, TEM), ISO 7637 (transients), ISO 10605 (ESD), IEC 61000-6-X
  • Define EMC test modes and operating states aligned with real vehicle use cases.
  • Lead pre-compliance testing and debug, partnering closely with EE and layout teams.
  • Drive EMC mitigation strategy - filtering, grounding, shielding, harnessing, and layout guidance
  • Plan, lead, and technically represent Aeva at third-party EMC test labs.
  • Support OEM EMC reviews, audits, and issue resolution.
  • Program & Cross-Functional Ownership
  • Act as the automotive validation point person for assigned LiDAR programs.
  • Interface directly with OEM customers, Tier-1s, Third-party test houses
  • Ensure traceability between Requirements → Test plans → Test results → FMEA closure
  • Identify validation gaps early and push for design or test strategy changes before late-stage surprises.

    • What You Have:

  • BS or MS in Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
  • 5+ years of automotive hardware validation experience
  • Demonstrated ownership of DV/PV or qualification testing for automotive electronics
  • Strong working knowledge of ISO 16750, CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 7637
  • Experience supporting OEM technical reviews or audits
  • Comfortable challenging designs based on test data and automotive risk
  • Strong documentation skills (test plans, reports, customer-facing data)
  • Experience with ADAS sensors (LiDAR, radar, camera) or other safety-relevant ECUs
  • Prior experience at an OEM or Tier-1 automotive supplier
  • Familiarity with DFMEA, single-fault assumptions, and robustness validation
  • Experience coordinating multiple test labs across DV/PV phases
