TL;DR · Senior Field Engineer

Senior Field Engineer (QRD) The Senior Field Engineer (QRD) joins the Vehicle Software and Electronics Engineering Quality team to improve customer satisfaction and reduce warranty exposure. This role involves identifying, analyzing, and resolving field issues involving vehicle mechatronic hardware, ECUs, and embedded control systems. The engineer will analyze field data such as DTCs, PHM data, and warranty claims to create actionable resolution plans while managing both short-term containment and long-term corrective actions across global programs. Key responsibilities include developing dashboards for quality trends, coordinating software-bench and vehicle-test automation, and utilizing AI-enabled engineering tools and analytics for data triage. The role requires expertise in mechatronic systems, OTA systems, and test log analysis. Technical skills include familiarity with GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, Databricks, and specific QRD tools like SI, TrackerGart, QDAP, DAS, GWM, and MERS to solve complex vehicle electronics problems.

What you'll do

  • Analyze field data including DTCs, warranty claims, and test logs to create actionable resolution plans for vehicle issues.
  • Identify, prioritize, and track hardware, software, and system-level defects using internal dashboards and quality workflows.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards to monitor test results, failure trends, and warranty performance across global programs.
  • Apply AI tools and automation to streamline data triage, issue detection, and the standardization of QRD workflows.
  • Manage both short-term containment actions and long-term corrective actions for mechatronic hardware and embedded control systems.
  • Forecast quality and warranty performance targets while tracking progress against established commitments.
  • Coordinate software-bench and vehicle-test automation to improve issue reproduction and validation confidence.
  • Represent the engineering team in escalation forums and cross-functional meetings to drive issues to resolution.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience with vehicle mechatronic systems, ECUs, embedded controls, automotive hardware, and software.
  • Experience with software release cadence, OTA systems, software benches, and vehicle testing.
  • Experience analyzing warranty, DTC, PHM, test-log, or field-performance data.
  • Experience developing or using dashboards to monitor test results, failures, and quality trends.
  • Experience with software-bench or vehicle-test automation.
  • Experience leading cross-functional issue-resolution efforts from problem identification through corrective-action closure.
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled tools, automation, or analytics used to improve engineering analysis and data triage.
