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
