Mechanical R&D Test Engineer

Job description

About Uber

 

We’re changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we’re a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.

 

For the people who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer.

 

And that’s just what we’re doing today. We’re thinking about the future, too. With teams working on autonomous trucking and self-driving cars, we’re in for the long haul. We’re reimagining how people and things move from one place to the next.

About the Role

As a hardware test engineer on the V&V team, you will participate in requirements engineering, develop hardware verification and validation plans, develop test cases, design/build test fixtures, execute tests and document results, validate components and systems.

What You'll do

·  Characterize and test mechanical, thermal, and vibrational properties of self-driving vehicle compute systems, cameras, lidar, and mechanical structures.
·  Design, build and maintain mechanical test fixtures.
·  Develop test cases to validate reliability of components
·  Develop tools and methods to automate testing for rapid deployment
·  Perform quantitative tests to determine how temperature, humidity, and mechanical stress impact subsystem performance
·  Write test scripts in high-level languages like Python, LabView or Matlab to automate test equipment.
·  Utilize data acquisition systems to collect data
·  Maintain engineering processes, documentation, and configuration management
