Job Description
Primary Duties
Specific Duties will vary based on the modular rotation, but general responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Perform product testing for new product development and quality investigations, including but is not limited to: hydrostatic, thermal, tensile, and electronics tests.
• Record data from testing in standard formats and provide results to product and engineering teams.
• Perform Dimensional Analysis using hand measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges).
• Utilize lab best practices to prepare sample parts for evaluation.
• Identify and use the appropriate equipment (laser scanners, CMMs, optical measurement systems, calipers, micrometers, etc.) to obtain required measurements.
• Document results in standard report formats and record observations made during testing.
• Effectively communicate results to Engineers, Metrologist and Lab Manager.
• Maintain and calibrate a variety of dimensional inspection equipment.
• Analyze & benchmark vehicle systems.
• Review product specifications and evaluate data for product feasibility.
• Use SolidWorks engineering and design software to complete engineering and design tasks.
• Produce product documentation that sufficiently identifies product dimensional and performance requirements.
• Work with product line managers and purchasing to aid in the development of product utilizing reverse engineering best practices.
• Analyze test data and reports to determine if design meets functional, reliability and quality requirements.
• Create and maintain the requirements for incoming inspection processes.
• Create 3D models of various automotive products.
• Create 2D Drawings applying Dorman standard design principles.
• Perform datalogging of the vehicle communication bus to decode or benchmark messages.
• Use electrical engineering tools such as a multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, logic analyzer to benchmark electronic module performance and test production samples.
• Work with Product Engineers to determine test requirements, methods of testing, test hardware, and test architectures to use to validate operation of a specific product.
• Use appropriate test software to create validation tests that will perform to the desired specifications of the product and support the test on the production floor.
• Improve existing legacy tests and upgrade test hardware and test framework allowing for more efficient testing, while also troubleshooting the existing test for accuracy.
• Troubleshoot existing tests to ensure that the test meets validation requirements which includes troubleshooting test code, tester hardware and test processes.
• Create failure analysis reports of test to allow for proper yellow tagging and failure reporting.
• Develop efficient, repeatable and robust manufacturing processes (including fixtures) for disassembly, assembly and repair of complex electronic/electro-mechanical modules.
