About this role

The Systems Engineer for Mechatronic Application & Testing is responsible for the integration, validation, and formal sign-off of mechatronic vehicle systems — combining mechanical, electrical, electronic, and software/control elements. This role ensures that mechatronic subsystems (e.g., actuators, sensors, motors, control units, and closed-loop control systems) meet functional, performance, safety, and durability requirements prior to release, and serves as the technical authority accountable for sign-off decisions at key program milestones.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Automotive Engineering
- 3+ years of experience in mechatronic systems engineering, application engineering, or systems validation within automotive
- Solid understanding of mechanical design principles (tolerances, kinematics, materials) combined with electrical/electronic circuits and embedded control systems
- Hands-on experience with test tools/environments (HIL, dSPACE, CANoe/CANalyzer, LabVIEW, or equivalent)
- Familiarity with requirements management tools like Jama and control system modeling (MATLAB/Simulink)
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills across multi-domain systems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for cross-disciplinary technical reporting
- English proficiency.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) and ASPICE processes for mechatronic/embedded systems
- Knowledge of vehicle network protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay)
- Experience testing closed-loop control systems, motor/actuator performance, or sensor fusion applications
