  • Execute defined test scenarios and validation activities in accordance with engineering specifications and program requirements.
  • Analyze test results, identify system issues or deviations, and document findings clearly and accurately.
  • Communicate test results, defects, risks, and recommendations to engineering teams and relevant stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain test cases, test procedures, validation plans, and supporting documentation.
  • Update testing methodologies and documentation to reflect evolving product, system, and program requirements.
  • Investigate electrical and electronic system behavior and understand interactions between vehicle systems and features.
  • Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of system-level issues identified during validation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to support electrical/electronic system integration and vehicle feature development.
  • Build and maintain a comprehensive understanding of vehicle electrical architectures, communication networks, and system dependencies across multiple vehicle platforms.
  • Serve as a growing technical resource for end-to-end electrical system functionality and vehicle feature performance.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Strong interest in automotive electrical/electronic systems and emerging vehicle technologies.
  • Understanding of electrical and electronic system concepts, system integration, and vehicle architectures.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret test results and identify issues.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment.
  • Proactive learning mindset and willingness to develop expertise in complex vehicle systems.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, high-quality test results and documentation.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing or other automotive simulation and validation environments.
  • Experience with vehicle communication networks such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet, or related automotive protocols.
  • Familiarity with electrical/electronic system integration and vehicle feature validation.
  • Experience with configuration management and change management processes.
  • Experience developing or maintaining test cases, test procedures, and validation documentation.
  • Familiarity with automotive development processes, testing methodologies, and system-level troubleshooting.
  • Exposure to multiple vehicle platforms or complex automotive electrical architectures.
