About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute component, subsystem, and system-level verification and validation plans based on technical requirements and stakeholder inputs.

  • Support creation and maintenance of Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) documentation and ensure adequate test coverage.

  • Perform requirement analysis and derive test cases using techniques such as Boundary Value Analysis (BVA), Equivalence Class (EC) testing, and risk-based methodologies.

  • Conduct verification and validation activities using HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), and MIL (Model-in-the-Loop) environments.

  • Execute and support closed-loop testing activities to validate product functionality and system performance.

  • Analyze test results, identify failures, investigate root causes, and recommend corrective actions.

  • Own resolution of moderately complex product, component, or system issues with guidance from senior engineers when required.

  • Evaluate analytical, simulation, and physical test data to validate product capability against requirements.

  • Utilize systems engineering principles to manage interfaces, requirements traceability, integration activities, and product risk.

  • Support product failure mode avoidance activities, including identification of potential failure modes and mitigation strategies.

  • Apply statistical methods and data-driven approaches to support engineering decisions and improve product quality.

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, test reports, issue logs, and validation records.

  • Support change request (CR) management and verification of engineering changes.

  • Use engineering tools and processes including Engineering Standard Work (ESW), iDFMEA, DVP&R, Integrity, Power BI, and other validation systems.

  • Create and maintain test automation scripts using Python, CAPL, NI TestStand, ECU-Test, or similar tools.

  • Work with communication protocols such as CAN, J1939, UDS, and related diagnostics systems.

  • Coordinate testing activities with technicians, interns, or other supporting resources as needed.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives for test methodologies, tools, and validation processes.

  • Collaborate effectively with global and cross-functional teams to meet project timelines, quality targets, and business objectives.
