Position Summary
Sony Honda Mobility of America is seeking a Vehicle Diagnostics Engineer specializing in ECU behavior and vehicle network communication to support post production AFEELA vehicles.
This role focuses on diagnosing vehicle issues by reconstructing vehicle behavior using communication signals, ECU responses, and measurement data. The engineer will analyze interactions between ECUs, sensors, actuators, and vehicle networks to determine root causes of customer visible issues.
The ideal candidate is capable of analyzing vehicle communication signals and system responses even when logs and measurement data are incomplete or time misaligned. You will triage issues across software, communication, and hardware domains while working directly with real vehicles and collaborating with engineering teams in the United States and Japan.
This is a highly hands on engineering role focused on vehicle level debugging, system analysis, and root cause investigation .
Job Responsibilities
Own end to end vehicle level debugging and analysis of ECU communication behavior and device responses from initial symptom through root cause hypothesis
Investigate post production vehicle issues affecting ECU communication, sensors, actuators, and vehicle subsystems
Capture and analyze vehicle CAN communication and signal behavior using Vector tools such as CANoe and CANape
Perform signal level diagnostics including validity checks, timing analysis, plausibility checks, and state transition analysis
Analyze how ECUs, sensors, and actuators respond to commands, signals, and environmental conditions
Acquire and analyze vehicle measurement data using Vector tools and INCA to support root cause investigations
Collect and review logs from vehicle systems including ECU logs, network traces, and system traces
Correlate CAN signals, ECU responses, and measurement data to reconstruct event timelines and system behavior
Identify and isolate ECU or device level faults including sensor failures, actuator behavior issues, ECU internal faults, and electrical anomalies
Determine whether issues originate from ECU software logic, communication behavior, system configuration, or hardware defects
Reproduce issues on real vehicles when possible and document reproduction conditions and investigation findings
Produce clear technical investigation reports including signal analysis, logs, timelines, and root cause hypotheses
Support critical field escalations requiring rapid vehicle level technical analysis
Collaborate with engineering teams in the United States and Japan to support diagnosis and resolution of vehicle issues
Required Qualifications for Position
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field
4 to 8 years of experience analyzing vehicle communication behavior or ECU interactions in automotive systems
Strong experience analyzing vehicle CAN communication and signal behavior
Hands on experience using Vector tools such as CANoe and CANape
Hands on experience using INCA for vehicle measurement, calibration, or diag
