Accessibility & serviceability validation
- Ensure CAD reflects:
Accurate harness lengths & branch definitions
Mounting points & protection features
- Support 2D harness drawings, schematics, and installation layouts
4. Prototype E&E Quality Engineering
- Define and execute E&E control plan, including:
Harness continuity checks
Power integrity & grounding validation
Network communication checks (CAN/LIN/Ethernet basics)
- Lead:
Power-on readiness checklist & first energization validation
Electrical defect tracking (open/short/misrouting/mis-pin)
- Drive:
Root cause analysis (8D, 5 Why)
Corrective & preventive actions (CAPA)
- Maintain structured issue tracking (JIRA) and defect logs
5. Prototype Build Execution (E&E)
- Act as E&E technical owner during build & bring-up phase
- Support:
Harness installation troubleshooting
ECU flashing, coding, and configuration alignment
Debugging electrical/system issues during integration
- Update CAD, WI, and BoP based on build feedback
6. Cross-functional Integration
- Coordinate with:
E&E Design, Vehicle Architecture, Integration, Software/Diagnostics
Mechanical teams (Body/Chassis/PT) for routing interfaces
- Ensure:
Electrical design → physical integration → functional validation
- Align with suppliers for harness and ECU readiness
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in E&E Engineering, Automotive Engineering or related fields.
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in automotive E&E integration / prototype / validation or automotive manufacturing.
- Strong CAD proficiency (CATIA V5/V6 mandatory; NX/SolidWorks as plus).
