Propulsion Systems Validation Engineer (BEV & ICE)

Join a fast-paced engineering team responsible for validating next-generation propulsion systems, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and internal combustion engines (ICE). You will help ensure high-quality powertrain software through rigorous validation, testing, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

Execute validation of powertrain control modules, including hardware, software, and calibrations

Perform testing in vehicle environments and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation systems

Develop and execute DVP&R test plans and procedures

Conduct initial root cause analysis and document test failures

Collaborate with Validation Project Chief and engineering teams to track and resolve issues

Support requirements-based testing, including traceability and coverage

Drive continuous improvement of validation processes and test strategies

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or related degree field

Experience in powertrain or related engineering position

Experience with propulsion sub systems, verification or validation of powertrain control systems

Familiarity with requirements-based testing and test case development.

Familiarity with embedded controls, working with OBD and federal diagnostic requirements / diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

Working knowledge of diagnostic tools ex. CDA, CAN/LIN communication protocols and how to interface with embedded devices

Familiarity with HIL Hardware in the loop Simulators (ex. dSPACE)

Good written and verbal communication skills in English

Must be able to legally drive a vehicle in the USA

Preferred Qualifications

• Master of Science degree in Engineering

• Some exposure to IBM ELM/ALM based tools such as but not limited to: DOORs, PTC Integrity, Rational Quality Manager (RQM), Rational Team Center (RTC) etc.

• Demonstrated interest in powertrain and/or vehicle development

• Some history of scripting/programming language interest (ex. Python, visual basic, etc.)
