Your responsibilities

• Install, rack, cable, label and maintain automotive development boards, power-control units, network switches, serial-access devices, USB-SD- MUX devices, debuggers and supporting servers.

• Prepare and reconfigure board setups for development, CI, automation use cases, including boot-mode selection, jumpers, DIP switches, storage media and non-standard cabling.

• Perform first-level diagnosis and repair of unstable setups, damaged cables, power issues, serial-access problems, storage-media failures and connectivity faults; coordinate replacement or specialist support when needed.

• Enable reliable remote power cycle/reset, serial console access, image deployment and board reservation for shared hardware.

• Integrate boards with existing lab and test infrastructure and support interfaces used by CI/CD and automated test campaigns.

• Work with test automation and CI engineers to reproduce setup-related failures, distinguish infrastructure faults from software defects and restore service quickly.

• Own the accuracy of the hardware inventory, setup identifiers, network addressing, cabling maps, board revisions, accessories, ownership and operational status.

• Create and maintain setup guides, recovery procedures, known-issue notes and photographs or diagrams for supported hardware configurations.

• Partner with Linux BSP development, testing, IT infrastructure and security teams.

• Support new-product introduction and first-silicon activities by preparing setups needed for remote work and continuous automated testing.

Who we’re looking for

To ensure your success in this role, the following experience is needed:

• Hands-on experience in an electronics, embedded systems, validation, test or engineering lab environment.

• Practical knowledge of embedded development boards, power supplies, serial consoles, storage media, Ethernet networking and common lab cabling.

• Experience debugging and troubleshooting hardware issues using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers to diagnose electrical, signal integrity, and communication problems.

• Comfortable working in Linux from the command line, including SSH, file transfer, logs, permissions, networking checks and basic shell scripting.

• Ability to read board documentation, schematics or connection diagrams and translate them into a working, repeatable setup.

• Structured troubleshooting approach and the discipline to document symptoms, evidence, configuration and resolution.

• Good command of English, speaking and writing, and the ability to collaborate with local and remote engineering teams.

• Electrical/electronics, computer engineering, automation, telecommunications or a comparable technical education, or equivalent practical experience.

The following skills are considered a plus:

• Automotive processors or S32 platforms, such as S32N, S32G or

S32R.

• Embedded Linux and boot-flow familiarity, including U-Boot, Linux kernel, Yocto-based images and serial-console diagnostics.

• Lab automation equipment and interfaces such as programmable PDUs, USB-SD-MUX, relay/GPIO controllers, CAN interfaces, network- controlled switches or Lauterbach debuggers.

• CI/CD or automated test environments, particularly Jenkins-based pipelines and board farms.

• Previous experience with Proxmox.

• Python or advanced shell scripting for monitoring, provisioning or repetitive lab operations.

• Basic Git, issue tracking and service-management workflows; exposure to Jira or ServiceNow is useful.

• Networking fundamentals including DHCP, DNS, VLANs, routing, firewall constraints, TCP/IP troubleshooting and packet capture.
