What you will be doing:

The candidate will be responsible for validating vehicle software and integrated systems to ensure they meet functional, quality, performance, and customer requirements throughout the product development lifecycle. Working in a collaborative Agile environment, this role supports the planning, preparation, execution, analysis, and documentation of testing activities for embedded vehicle features and software releases. The engineer partners with cross-functional engineering teams to identify, investigate, and validate software and system issues, contributing to the delivery of reliable, high-quality vehicle functionality. This position supports both manual and automated validation efforts, promotes continuous improvement of test processes and tools, and ensures test environments are maintained to support efficient and effective software verification. The role requires strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to evolving technologies and development priorities while contributing to the successful delivery of vehicle software and system capabilities.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to

• Develop and execute functional test scenarios and test utilizing user stories contained within Agile Sprints.

• Interface with development teams to understand testing requirements.

• Review project requirements to ensure requirements are testable.

• Prepare necessary benches, vehicles, tools, and software to execute testing.

• All test results following to the merge of related test codes in to Master to be logged (pass/fail), failures to be debugged to assess the root cause of failures allowing only valid defects to be entered into the defect tracking system, JIRA.

• Work with feature engineers to reproduce and troubleshoot defects found in the system.

• Participate in root-cause analysis of hardware quality problems and software defects.

• Participate in system design, documentation, and testing to deliver a best in-class infotainment system.

• During sprint planning provide estimates on the amount of time needed to complete testing related tasks.

• Review hardware laboratory nodes and apply corrective and predictive maintenance processes to upkeep that the nodes are in satisfactory condition and functionality.

• Analyze the root-cause of software failures to correctly prioritize them for subsequent fixing, providing timely validation rounds for both manual and automation.

• Contribute in enhancements towards automation development, optimizing, new feature validation, and testing for upcoming vehicle programs and testing efforts.

• Identify areas of improvement in all facets of testing and velocity tracking.

• Use Test Management tools for test planning review, execution, monitoring review (proficient key metrics interpretation), and reporting of Test Results.

• Provide detailed feedback and comprehensive bug reports to ensure high-quality software and efficient testing workflows.
