ABOUT THE COMPANY
EROAD is a global fleet management technology company that delivers GPS tracking, video telematics, compliance automation and driver safety tools to fleet operators through an integrated hardware-and-software platform, and recent turnover in its small Penrose hardware team has created an opening for a genuinely senior Hardware Validation Engineer to step in and take on responsibility immediately.

Carry out validation testing of PCBAs and other electronic and hardware components using standard test equipment and test boards
Partner with hardware design engineers to drive validation of new in-vehicle hardware

Mentor and peer review other engineers and contribute to validation strategy
WHAT YOU NEED
An engineering degree in Electronic, Electrical or a related discipline

Hands-on software QA experience on Android devices
Linux-level automation and test framework experience, including automated Python scripting
Demonstrable prior experience mentoring, leading or peer-reviewing other engineers
Hands-on familiarity with standard electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters and electronic loads
Experience with Altium is highly preferred but any equivalent PCB design/schematic tool experience is fine
Familiarity with AI tools is a bonus
Hardware validation experience from any industry is welcome, automotive, telematics or IoT background is not required
