Who you are

- Experience with vehicle network architectures CAN, LIN and Ethernet
- Experience in reading and interpreting circuit diagrams and working on vehicle harnesses
- Knowledge of software/feature fault diagnostics methods, tools and practices.


Desired experience, but not a must:

- Knowledge and working experience on EV’s and Hybrid vehicle architectures
- Experience in working with prototype vehicles and rigs
- Experience of building and commissioning of test properties such as rigs and boxcars
- Experience of using specialised diagnostic and test tools (e.g. CANoe, CANape, INCA)
