What you’ll do
- Own the design, implementation, testing, validation, and release sign-off of vehicle diagnostic systems across complex EV platforms.
- Ensure that ECU diagnostics, fault handling, and service communication are fully validated across CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet networks, and meet production readiness standards for vehicle release.
- Define how all vehicle systems diagnostics robustly on the platform — directly shaping the reliability, scalability, and performance of the entire vehicle platform.
- Establish acceptance criteria for ECU diagnostics functionality, validate fault handling behavior along with service and manufacturing diagnostic flows.
- Own validation execution across multiple environments (SIL, HIL, and vehicle integration testing).
- Design scalable regression test suites for ECU communication systems.
- Ensure consistent behavior across simulated and real-world environments.
- Validate multi-ECU communication across distributed vehicle systems across powertrain, BMS, ADAS, chassis, body systems.
- Perform deep debugging of network issues such as CAN bus load saturation, message timing drift, signal corruption or loss, gateway routing failures etc.
- Analyze ECU interactions under stress, fault injection, and edge conditions.
- Use diagnostic protocols (UDS – ISO 14229) to validate ECU behavior.
- Analyze large-scale CAN/Ethernet logs for intermittent failures, cross-ECU timing mismatches, system-level integration issues.
- Coverage of integration across Powertrain / Electrification (BMS, inverter, charging), Body & Comfort, ADAS / AD compute platforms, Infotainment & Connectivity, Central Compute / Zonal Controllers.
- Validate that system behavior meets system requirement specifications (SRS) under nominal conditions, boundary conditions, fault injection scenarios, high bus load scenarios, low voltage and cold crank conditions.
- Ensure feature-level integration synchronization, power mode management, wake-up/sleep strategy robustness.
- Own vehicle-level regression test planning, drive root cause analysis of cross-domain issues and help support integration war-room activities during DV/PV builds.

- A strong understanding, development and verification of plant and control models in MATLAB/Simulink for execution in hardware in the loop test environment, dSpace control desk and automation desk.
- A strong understanding of 1st principles in Engineering, result/solution oriented.
- Familiarity with SW for embedded systems, EE systems and architecture.
- Familiarity with A2B, CAN, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, LVDS communication protocols and Vehicle Network tools, such as CANalyzer, CANoe, etc.
- Expertise with complex problem solving, data analysis, access/interpret/drive results with extended teams.
- A knowledge of Automotive design and development process, system requirements, and general engineering best practices.
