Quality Assurance$140k–$170k/yrFull-time
What you’ll do
- Define and lead validation strategy for vehicle communication networks: CAN / CAN FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet (DoIP, SOME/IP)
- Establish test coverage models for signal integrity, timing determinism, fault tolerance and degradation behavior to ensure traceability from requirements → signals → test cases → results
- Own validation execution across multiple environments SIL, HIL (hardware-in-the-loop benches) 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
- Cookordination 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
