Staff Software Test Engineering - ADAS Infrastructure Compliance

Description

This is an existing opening, a backfill, and it is still accepting new applications.

Artificial intelligence will be used as part of the hiring process for this role.

The ADAS infrastructure validation team tests ADAS controllers across serial communication, diagnostics, cybersecurity, over-the-air (OTA) updates and vehicle safety.

Testing runs on open-loop and closed-loop HIL benches or on SIL platforms.

Test automation is kept up to date to widen coverage and catch problems early.

You will have room to grow by working with several branches of the autonomous vehicle (AV) organization and newer ADAS technology.

Responsibilities

• Lead the team technically so validation meets a high standard and results arrive in time for program milestones.
• Work independently and across functions, start new projects for the team to run, and report issues quickly so they are resolved on time.
• Work with requirement owners and subject matter experts, calibration, system safety, and platform, application software and tool teams to build and carry out test plans.
• Find chances to align test methods across the company's validation groups to save effort and improve collaboration.
• Collect and analyze requirements and test inputs, judge whether validation is feasible, and troubleshoot problems.
• Spot testing gaps across the organization, propose fixes, and share them with other validation groups.
• Track where software issues originate and push for improvements in upstream processes.
• Serve as the validation testing subject matter expert for the team and set its best practices.
• Design test setups for new validation programs on open-loop, HIL and SIL benches.
• Run validation projects, covering timing, bench and simulation tool readiness, automation readiness, and regular status reports or escalations.
• Teach teammates to analyze test results and take part in data-driven system development.
• Set scrum priorities and apply smoke, sanity, regression and feature testing within sprints.
• Monitor software rollouts and QA testing from platform, application and integration teams.
• Run the delta questionnaire to decide what validation each model-year software change needs.
• Own the team's validation roadmap.
• Lead ideation and innovation workshops for the team and drive ongoing improvement.
• Deliver validation results on time and at good quality to internal customers, including software readiness, issue documentation and test reports.
