Jobs at RFA Engineering

Supports fabrication and assembly quality by identifying reliability trends, tracking quality metrics, analyzing failures, and recommending corrective actions. The role supports New Product Introduction programs, performs Weibull and statistical analyses, communicates findings to design teams, and identifies product-quality improvements. Work is fully onsite in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automation supporting embedded software development. Manage builds, testing, integration, packaging, releases, source control, branching, dependencies, and development environments. Create scripts and utilities, support C/C++ embedded software integration, improve automated testing, document processes, and collaborate with software, validation, and systems engineers in Agile teams.

Provides advanced technical support for telematics connectivity, electrical systems, communication networks, embedded controllers, and connected equipment. Investigates escalated issues, performs root-cause analysis, interprets schematics and system data, reproduces problems with engineering tools, documents findings, and coordinates resolutions with customers, dealers, product support, and engineering teams. The role is onsite in Mossville, Illinois, with travel within the United States up to 25%.

Design user interaction flows, wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes; conduct usability testing; translate customer and technical requirements into user-centered designs; collaborate with engineers and stakeholders; maintain UX artifacts, accessibility, and design standards across products.

Designs, develops, tests, and supports software and systems for production products. Responsibilities include modifying database systems, defining database structures, coordinating database development, estimating project scope and costs, translating customer requirements into technical requirements, and integrating systems over CAN and Ethernet. The role requires autonomous systems knowledge, full lifecycle experience, troubleshooting ability, and collaboration with engineering teams at a hybrid customer facility.

Develops, executes, automates, and documents embedded software and electrical system testing for vehicle operations. Responsibilities include HIL and SIL validation, manual and automated test case development, test scripting, defect analysis, root cause investigation, requirements traceability, regression testing, and release readiness support. The role validates interactions among embedded software, sensors, actuators, communication networks, and vehicle subsystems while collaborating with engineering teams onsite.

The Embedded Systems Engineer designs and enhances electrical systems for vehicles, conducts programming and debugging, and ensures hardware/software integration.

Support design, validation, and manufacturing of heavy equipment and powertrain systems. Perform root cause analysis, prototype and production support, APQP activities, supplier collaboration, and create/modify 3-D models and engineering documentation. Work onsite with cross-functional teams and travel to suppliers/customers up to ~10%.

Design, deploy, and validate machine-based data collection and connectivity systems. Install, calibrate, and troubleshoot sensors (camera, radar, LiDAR, GPS) and data acquisition hardware. Perform data collection, QA, system integration, field testing, and issue diagnosis. Develop test procedures, validation plans, and technical reports. Support proving ground and customer-site testing, collaborating with global software, systems, controls, and product support teams.

Design, develop, and test embedded software for precision agriculture technology using C++. Collaborate with teams and integrate software on various platforms.

Responsibilities include concept development of structural, electrical, and hydraulic components, creating CAD models, conducting design reviews, and collaborating with suppliers and manufacturing teams.

Design, model, and document electrical and mechanical systems for off‑road mobile equipment using Creo and Windchill. Collaborate with suppliers, manufacturing, and quality to develop cost‑effective designs, troubleshoot with electrical schematics, support assembly line issues, and compile engineering analyses and specifications for prototypes and production adoption.

Performs finite element analysis of off-highway equipment structural components. Creates CAD models and meshes, assigns materials, applies loads and constraints, runs ANSYS, Abaqus, or Nastran simulations, and analyzes structural and fatigue performance. Uses HyperWorks and nCode for preprocessing, postprocessing, and field-data analysis. Collaborates with design and test engineers, recommends corrective actions, performs model-to-test correlation, and documents analysis plans, results, and validation reports.

Performs structural, durability, fatigue, static, dynamic, and modal FEA for mobile and off-highway equipment. Develops analysis plans, evaluates finite element models, correlates results with physical testing, recommends design improvements, and prepares technical reports. Collaborates with design and test teams to validate product performance, reliability, and durability while managing multiple engineering tasks and deadlines.

Maintain and improve end-of-line electrical and software test systems for vehicle controls: update test software, troubleshoot hardware/software on production test equipment, validate changes, create work orders, attend design reviews, and document procedures to support production builds.

Plans and executes manual and automated tests for software supporting agricultural and construction vehicle automation systems. Develops test strategies and plans, operates test benches and simulators, reproduces defects, interprets technical requirements and diagrams, and determines software readiness for release. The role requires agricultural or off-road machinery knowledge, QA test planning experience, strong communication, technical writing, problem-solving skills, and a valid driver’s license.

Designs and develops electrical wire harness layouts for off-highway equipment. Responsibilities include routing and integrating wiring systems, creating and modifying designs in Creo, ProCable, and Capital Harness, reviewing harness drawings, supporting manufacturing launches, troubleshooting electrical issues, coordinating cross-functional design reviews, and collaborating with suppliers and quality teams.

Develop and integrate computer vision and machine learning algorithms for autonomous agricultural and off-highway equipment. Responsibilities include geometric computer vision, SLAM, localization, mapping, triangulation, depth estimation, camera calibration, data collection and processing, model development, training, optimization, deployment, and monitoring. The role uses cameras, LiDAR, radar, edge devices, robotics, cloud technologies, C++, and Python while collaborating onsite with engineering teams.

Design and develop mechanical components and systems using Creo and Windchill, including 3D models, sheet metal, routings, 2D drawings, and specifications. Collaborate with suppliers, customers, manufacturing, and validation teams to create cost-effective designs. Document engineering decisions and analyses, support prototypes, troubleshoot quality issues, identify root causes, and drive corrective actions.

Leads an embedded software engineering team developing precision agriculture applications. Defines product vision, requirements, roadmap, backlog, and user stories; prioritizes changing needs; oversees product design and development; monitors progress; communicates with users and product teams; and participates in Scrum ceremonies and sprints.
