Description

The Resident Engineer acts as the on‑site technical interface between the customer and the internal development teams. The role supports software‑related topics on the electric drive system, including issue handling, initial fault tracing, and calibration activities directly on customer vehicles and test objects. Using diagnostic and Vector tools, the Engineer receives clear feedback from the field, securing smooth integration of the EDU/inverter into the customer’s vehicle.

Requirements

• Confident use of Vector tools: CANape (measurement, calibration, online parameter tuning, data logging) and CANoe/CANalyzer (bus monitoring, simulation, recording, analysis of CAN/CAN FD/LIN traffic).
• Experience with diagnostic tools (e.g., DTS 9 / Monaco) to flash ECUs, read/clear DTCs and live data, execute diagnostic routines and ECU test, and create and maintain measurement and diagnostic configurations, signal lists, and workspaces.
• Base knowledge of electric drive systems (inverter, e‑motor, DC link, HV battery, control unit, torque and speed control) and high‑voltage vehicle concepts (HV safety, interlock, insulation monitoring, contactor logic).
• Basic knowledge of motor control principles (field‑oriented control, torque control, speed control, inverter switching) sufficient for fault tracing.
• Ability to interpret key e‑drive signals (currents, voltages, torque, speeds, temperatures) during measurements and diagnose abnormal behavior.
• Structured, analytical problem‑solving with clear documentation; familiarity with Jira for issue tracking.
• Ability to work independently on site while staying aligned with remote teams.
• Hands‑on willingness to work in/around vehicles and test benches within safety rules.
• Preferred licenses: T1 driving licence and medium duty truck licence.

Methodology & Way of Working

• Structured and analytical approach with clear documentation of steps, observations, and conclusions.
• Ticketing/issue tracking (Jira) usage.
• Independent on‑site work with remote alignment.
• Hands‑on work with vehicles/test benches under safety procedures.
• Preferred driving licences.

Job responsibilities

• Act as the primary technical contact between the customer and internal software development teams.
• Collect, clarify, and document customer issues, requirements, and change requests.
• Present analysis results, status updates, and proposed solutions to customer engineers and project managers.
• Manage expectations and priorities with the customer; escalating risks and blockers early.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English; German language skills are a plus.

Software Support & Issue Handling

• Provide clear and reproducible issue descriptions, logs, and test data from customer vehicles/test benches.
• Perform initial fault tracing on vehicle or test object (e.g., inverter, EDU test bench) using relevant tools and logs.
• Classify issues (SW / HW / calibration / environment / usage) and perform first‑level root‑cause indication.
• Verify SW fixes and calibrations in the vehicle or on the customer test environment before returning feedback to the development team.

Calibration & Vehicle Fine‑Tuning

• Fine‑tune calibrations directly in the customer vehicles in real driving or test‑track conditions, according to agreed test plans.
• Ensure traceability and version control of all calibration changes (before/after comparison, storage of datasets, proper naming).
