The Senior Technician supports ECU Manufacturing through hands-on technical execution for software-release readiness, ECU flashing, manufacturing testing, and sustaining production. The role independently supports pre-release testing, maintains flashing tools and test-station computers, and resolves technical issues affecting engineering builds and production rollout. The position applies advanced practical knowledge of electronics, Windows-based systems, wiring diagrams, harnesses, connectors, diagnostic interfaces, and electrical troubleshooting while coordinating with manufacturing test engineers, technical program managers, software engineers, operations teams, and contract manufacturers across multiple programs.
Key Responsibilities
• Establish, maintain, and track ECU software releases for engineering builds and production activities.
• Act as the primary technician supporting users and coordinating software-release activities within the flashing area.
• Execute the in-house ECU software-release process with Manufacturing Test, Operations, and contract manufacturers.
• Collaborate with technical program managers, software engineers, and test engineers to implement and maintain release tools, processes, and supporting solutions.
• Provide software-file locations, flashing tools, traceability information, and related technical support for engineering builds and production.
• Communicate activities, risks, issues, and status for assigned programs to the responsible Test Engineer.
• Review, track, and support sign-off of software DEVREQs and ECRs for internal and external ECUs.
• Coordinate multiple concurrent releases, builds, and deployments from development through production rollout.
• Execute and track pre-release software testing in the Manufacturing Test laboratory, contract-manufacturer locations, and internal sites.
• Track open software and test-station issues, perform technical troubleshooting, and drive assigned actions to resolution.
• Inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and verify harnesses, connectors, wiring, and pinouts used in ECU flashing and test stations.
• Diagnose and resolve USB, Ethernet, serial, diagnostic-interface, and flashing-tool communication issues.
• Maintain test-station computers through Windows troubleshooting, software setup, driver installation, network-connectivity support, and peripheral configuration.
• Provide practical technical guidance to other technicians and users within the assigned scope when required.
Skills
• Advanced practical knowledge of ECU flashing, manufacturing test activities, electronics troubleshooting, and production support.
• Strong working knowledge of Windows operating systems, test-station computers, software installation, drivers, networks, and peripheral configuration.
• Ability to read wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, and technical instructions and independently troubleshoot harnesses, connectors, and electrical circuits.
• Ability to diagnose USB, Ethernet, serial, diagnostic-interface, and flashing-tool communication issues.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent releases, builds, testing activities, and issue resolution actions.
• Strong technical documentation, status reporting, organization, and traceability discipline. Ability to work effectively with manufacturing, engineering, operations, suppliers, and contract manufacturers across different regions.
• Knowledge of UDS, CAN, and DoIP protocols at user level is preferred.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and Windows-based systems.
Minimum Qualifications
• Technical diploma in Automotive Technology, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
• 6+ years of relevant hands-on experience in automotive diagnostics, ECU flashing, electronics troubleshooting, manufacturing testing, production support, or a closely related technical environment.
• Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot ECU flashing systems, test station computers, wiring, harnesses, connectors, diagnostic interfaces, and communication issues.
